Sagola 3300 GTO Manual De Instrucciones página 29

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

07. Useful tips
07.1.- General advice
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 thickness of the layer is very thin, 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 film is thick, 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.
If sagging occurs, this is due to the fact that the amount
of product to be applied is excessive for the air pressure
used, that the viscosity is not correct or the application
speed is not adequate. Decrease the amount of
product, adjust its viscosity or increase the
application speed until the required finish is obtained.
The spraying width (spraying pattern) obtained will
depend on the air nozzle used. If nozzles are required
for other applications, contact the Technical Service
of SAGOLA S.A.U.
The size or amplitude of the spraying pattern can be
modified with the spray width regulator, by turning
the control anticlockwise to increase this or clockwise to
reduce this.
