1.
Putting into operation
Before putting into operation, and especially after any repair work, check to see
that all nuts and bolts are tight. Always disconnect the unit from the air supply
before carrying out any repair work.
a) Mount the nozzle set tightly align the air nozzle so that the number stamped into it
can be read from the front the right way round.
b) Blow out the air hose before attaching it to the air connection (1/4’’)
c) The paint spray gun has been treated with an anticorrosive agent before leaving
the factory and must therefore get flushes out thoroughly with thinner before use
2.
Adjusting the volume of air using the compressed- air micrometer
The air supply can be regulated extremely fine to suit all operational conditions,
micrometer in vertical position (parallel to gun body) =maximum atomization.
Micrometer in horizontal position (across gun body) = minimum atomization (for
blending etc) During operation, never remove hollow(item 12) by using the small
hollow key in order to remove the micrometer.
3.
Reduction of the material volume
The volume of material following from the nozzle and thus the needle stroke can
be reduced steplessly by screwing in the material-volume regulation screw.
4.
Changing the nozzle set
Always change the complete nozzle set whenever changing nozzle size. These
components, that consist of air cap, fluid nozzle and paint needle, are supplied as
a complete set. Insert paint nozzle before paint needle.
5.
Exchanging the air piston and air piston packing
To replace the air piston remove the hollow screw and detach the air micrometer.
Pull out spring and air piston exchange the air piston unscrew stuffing box screw
and remove the old packing, now insert new packing with flat and first and gently
tighten stuffing box screw towards packing.
6.
Cleaning and maintenance
a) Flush the material –conveying parts of the gun thoroughly with thinner.
b) Clean the air nozzle with a paint brush or brush. Do not immerse the nozzle in
