are strictly prohibited during use
• Ejection of handwheels: there is the risk of ejection of the adjustment handwheels; never exceed the specifi ed
adjustment limits
• Air jet: this risk exists mainly in association with activation of the fi rst stroke (exit of air only); take care to keep
eyes and ears at a safe distance and avoid all volatile dust or hazardous substances. Always use safety goggles,
and in the presence of volatile powders used suitable personal protective equipment for the respiratory ways, and
ensure effectiveness of protection against the substances involved

• Insert the required quantity of solvent product in the internal pipelines; always ensure that the product is compatible,
as specifi ed in this manual and the safety/technical data sheets of the solvent used
• Leave to act for a few minutes
• Close the base and reconnect the supply
• Spray the solvent directing the jet into a collection container; repeat the operation until completely clean
Solvents must be disposed of according to legislation in the country of use.
Ensure that the air-product adjustment handwheel is completely closed to avoid nebulisation of the solvent with
consequentcontamination of the surrounding environment.
Never immerse the gun completely in the solvent, but only clean with a brush or cloth.
2. External cleaning of the nozzle and cap
• The use of personal protective equipment is compulsory during cleaning using solvents and detergents
• Use a brush soaked in suitable solvent for cleaning the relative parts; always ensure that the product is compatible,
