5. Warnings

· Before putting the unit into operation, and especially after each cleaning and/or repair operation,
a check must be made that the gun components are securely tightened and that the air and/or
product hoses are airtight (no air leaks). Faulty parts must be replaced or repaired as appropriate.
· The gun is easy to handle thanks to its design and the simplicity of its mechanisms. No special
training is required for handling the gun. Use the gun according to the operating, maintenance
and safety instructions indicated in this manual and follow the application methods indicated to
obtain the required quality of finish.
· Before putting the unit into operation, we recommend you to clean the gun as this has been
subjected to functional tests and before packaging it is treated internally with a protective coating,
some of which may still remain. Apply thinner to eliminate this. Remove any residual grease applied
during assembly.
· Ensure that the products to be applied are chemically compatible with the components these
come into contact with (Teflon, Nylon, aluminium, stainless steel, polythene and acetylene resin).
· Do not use corrosive or abrasive products.
· The gun has been designed for long service and can be used with the majority of the products
available on the market. Its use with highly aggressive products will quickly increase the need for
maintenance and spares. If you need to apply special products, please contact SAGOLA S.A.
· Read and apply all the information, instructions and safety measures indicated by the manufac-
turer of the products to be applied (thinners, etc.) as these may provoke chemical reactions, fires
and/or explosions, or be toxic, irritant or harmful and in all cases dangerous for the health and
personal safety of the user and of other persons nearby (see chapter on Safety and Health).
· Mix, prepare and filter the product to be applied in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions, ensuring that any foreign bodies are prevented
from spoiling the quality of finish and application. Should there be any doubt
relating to the purity of the product, its composition, etc., please contact your
supplier.
· Control the viscosity of the product to be applied with the SAGOLA Viscosime-
ter - Code 56418001

6. Useful tips

· You are recommended to use the gun with the product regulator open (without removing it
completely from its housing) in order to minimise wear to the fluid tip and needle and to ensure
maximum amplitude.
- Use the lowest spray pressure in the nozzle that allows you to obtain the required finish. Not
all products require the maximum pressure for correct spraying. With a lower pressure, less air
is consumed and there is an additional increase in product transfer.
- The gun leaves the factory ready to spray products correctly with the air nozzle corresponding
to each application. It is adjusted to an air inlet pressure of 2 bar to ensure maximum
performance.
· Pay special attention to the application speed. The thickness of the film deposited may be
greater than planned if the application speed is low, and the opposite is also true.
· If the film is thick or granulated, this is due to the fact that the air pressure is excessive for the
amount of product being applied. Reduce the air pressure in the gun in order to ensure that the
solvent in the paint does not evaporate during spraying and that this is not dry when it reaches the
surface to be painted. Increase the amount of product, correct its viscosity or use a larger fluid tip
in the gun.
· If the thickness of the layer is very thin, this is due to the fact that the air pressure is excessive
for the amount of product to be applied. Decrease the amount of product, reduce its viscosity or
use a smaller fluid tip in the gun.
