Spray Gun with Extension - Professional & 4.0m Hose
1.
Description
The Firestone Spray Gun Professional (with extension) is to be used
in combination with the rubber 4.0 m Hose. The spray gun and hose
were specifically designed to spray the Firestone sprayable Bonding
Adhesive (in canister packaging) and, therefore, cannot be
substituted for another kit that may not be compatible with the
adhesive.
2.
Connecting
Remember that the operator should be wearing personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and
gloves.
▪
With the tip of the gun facing away, make sure the adjustment screw (1) is closed.
▪
Attach the larger nut end of the hose to the gun. Use a wrench to ensure a secure fit but do not overtighten.
▪
Remove the plastic thread protector from the valve assembly of the canister and connect the smaller nut end of the
hose to the canister. Make sure that threads are aligned properly. The fitting should turn easily. Use a wrench to
tighten the connection but do not overtighten.
▪
Open the valve of the canister slowly and check for leakages at both connections. Close the valve if leaks occur and
check fittings to make sure they are connected properly.
▪
The canister valve should only be closed when transferring the gun and hose to another canister. Once the valve is
open and the spray gun is attached to the canister, never close it otherwise the adhesive in the gun and hose will dry
out, and these will have to be cleaned. The gun must be closed during transportation to avoid spillages.
3.
Spraying
▪
Ensure that the gun and hose are in good condition for spraying and that both are properly connected prior usage.
Turn the adjustment screw of the gun (1) open. The condition of the spray equipment should be checked periodically
during the working day.
▪
Prepare a piece of scrap material for use as a spray gun test target. Pull the spray gun trigger (2) fully to spray
adhesive. Provide a consistent dispersion of the adhesive. Spray width can be set by turning the adjustment screw
more open or closed.
▪
See Application Guide for further installation guidelines.
▪
Always engage the adjustment screw (1) when you stop spraying to prevent the gun from being triggered
accidentally.
