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.

Selecting air cap
You can convert the spray gun for various
uses by swapping the air cap.
Air cap PL
The air cap PL is used for:
Topcoats
Automotive paints
Clear coats
Mordant
The air cap PL is used for the application of
paints with a viscosity up to about 25 s/Ford
Becher 4.
Air cap PC
The air cap PC is used for flammable and
non-flammable fluid coating materials (1-
component paints and 2-component paints).
It is used for application of fillers, base coats
and topcoats.
Air cap HM (HVLP)
The low mist air cap (HVLP) HM is used for:
Finish coat
Topcoats
Automotive paints
Transparent paints
Mordant
It is used for the application of paints with a
viscosity up to about 20 s/Ford Becher 4.
The air pressure at the gun inlet must not
exceed 1.8 bar (26 psi) to achieve the max-
imum material transfer rate (called HVLP
method). 1.8 bar (26 psi) at the gun inlet cor-
respond to 0.7 bar (10 psi) below the air cap.
