Please be sure that you put the spray gun properly by keeping its perpendicularity to the piece
to be painted in order to achieve the maximum transfer of the sprayed product and obtain the
best finishing quality.

10.1.- Clean Air
The air used for spraying must reach the gun free of impurities, aerosols, oil, silicone and solid
particles. To do this you must eliminate these with coalescent filter units.
The use of air treatment equipment with built-in pressure regulators is recommended (Models
SAGOLA 5200, 5300 or 5300 PLUS).
10.2. Sufficient volume of air
A sufficient volume of air can be supplied to the gun by means of an air compressor of adequate
power (1 HP equals 110 l/min approximately), a good compressed air network and by avoiding
pressure drops through the use of antistatic, silicon-free air hoses with a minimum inside
diameter of 8 mm and resistant to the spraying air pressure (minimum 20 bar) and to the
aggressive effects of paint solvents. Before assembling the air network, you must check on
the air tightness of the hose.
Use antistatic air hoses. Should an antistatic air hose not be available, you must attach the
unit to a ground connection in order to eliminate any static electricity.
The total derivative resistance must be <100 million ohms.
10.3. Adjusting Air Pressure
The gun leaves the factory with the internal flow regulator fully open. In order to adjust this to
the required pressure, turn the regulator clockwise to reduce the inlet pressure and anticlockwise
to increase this.
10.4. Amount of Product to be applied
Once the product to be applied has been adequately diluted, turn the Product Regulator clockwise
to reduce the amount of product and anticlockwise to increase this.
During application, the amount of product applicable in areas that are small or difficult to
access can be reduced by reducing the pressure applied with your finger.
10.5. Application distance
Adjust the distance between the air nozzle and the object to be sprayed (10 / 20 cm.) in
accordance with this, the product to be applied and working conditions, in order to increase
transfer and obtain a reduction in the amount of mist in accordance with the air nozzle used
in each case.
