Operation

5.1

Safety Instructions

Please pay special attention to the following safety instructions when using the
spray gun!
• Always wear proper respiratory protection masks and protective overalls when
using the spray gun. Airborne particles can damage your health, a functional
suction has to exist!
• Always wear suitable hearing protectors in the vicinity of the spray gun. These
spray guns produce sound levels of approximately 84 dB(A).
• Ensure that the working area is absolutely free from open fires and naked lights
– and that smoking is strictly prohibited. The spraying of flammable liquids (e.g.
solvent-containing adhesives) is always accompanied by the risk of fire and ex-
plosion.
• When spraying materials, keep hands and other parts of the body away from the
nozzle of the gun when it is under pressure. Risk of injury!
• Relieve the spray gun of all pressures when work is complete.
5.2

Requirements at the Start and Finish of Operation

The following requirements must be met before the spray gun is operated:
• The atomising air pressure must be available at the gun
• The material pressure must be available at the gun.
Caution
The material pressure should not exceed 8 bar. The air pressure should not
exceed 8 bar, since otherwise the operational reliability of the spray gun will be
impaired. Working pressure approx. 2 bar.
Warning
It is important to remember to relieve the spray gun of all pressures when work is
terminated.
Note
The spray gun must be flushed out before the first use to prevent contamination
of the spraying material.
5.3

Spray Pattern Test

Spray pattern tests should be performed whenever:
• the spray gun is taken into operation for the first time;
• the spraying medium is changed;
• the spray gun was taken apart for maintenance or repair works.
The spray pattern is best tested using a workpiece sample, a sheet of metal,
card- board or paper.
