Product description 

Field of application 

The OptiStar CG08(-C) Gun control unit is designed exclusively for 
controlling the Gema powder coating guns (see also in chapter 
"Technical data"). 

Any other use is considered non-compliant. The manufacturer is not 
responsible for any incorrect use and the risks associated with such 
actions are assumed by the user alone! 

For a better understanding of the interrelationships in powder coating, it is 
recommended that the operating instructions for all other components be 
read as well, so as to be familiar with their functions too! 

 

 

OptiStar CG08(-C) Gun control unit 

Reasonably foreseeable misuse 

- 

Operation without the proper training 

- 

Use with insufficient compressed air quality and grounding 

- 

Use in connection with unauthorized coating devices or 
components
