Safety recommendations
WARNING!
Danger of explosion due to chemical
reactions
Material, halogenated hydrocarbon-based
rinsing agent or cleaning agent can chemi-
cally react with aluminum components of
the product. Chemical reactions can
cause explosions. Serious injuries and
death can be the consequence.
– Only use rinsing agents and cleaning
agents that do not contain any halo-
genated hydrocarbons.
NOTICE!
Material damage due to dried material
residues
If material residues dry in the product, that
can harm components.
– Rinse product immediately after each
use.
6.2
Checks
1. Perform the following checks during oper-
ation:
Check air connection for correct seat
and leaks.
Check air car for cleanliness.
Check nozzle for cleanliness.
6.3
Selecting air cap
You can convert the spray gun for various
uses by swapping the air cap.
Air cap AL
The air cap AL is used for solvent-based
coating materials (1-component paints and
2-component paints) and water-based ones.
It is used for application of fillers, basecoats
and topcoats. If used with a hardened
nozzle, coating materials with abrasive addi-
tives (coating materials containing zinc and
aluminum) can be applied.
Air cap EL
The air cap EL is used for solvent-based
coating materials (1-component paints and
2-component paints) and water-based ones,
if higher outflow rates are required.
Air cap GL
The air cap GL is used for thick, high vis-
cosity coating materials. It is used for appli-
cation at a high outflow rate.
