Warning
Always relieve the pressure from the spray gun after work is completed. The pres-
surized lines may rupture and persons standing nearby may be injured by the
escaping material.
Note
The gun must be flushed with a suitable solvent before initial commissioning to
prevent contamination of the spraying material.
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 servicing or repairs.
The spray pattern can be tested using a work piece sample, a sheet of metal, card-
board or paper.
