Integrated Gun Filter
Overview
The Saturn integrated gun filter is inserted into a specially-ported gun
manifold to ensure uninterrupted adhesive flow by trapping particles that
may cause nozzle clogging. It is designed for use with low viscosity
(under 10,000 centipoise) adhesive.

Installation
WARNING: The hot melt applicator, guns, and hoses contain electrical
voltage with potentials that could be fatal. Only qualified personnel should
operate and perform maintenance on this equipment.
WARNING: Wear safety glasses, safety gloves, and protective clothing to
prevent injury from hot applicator parts, splashed hot melt adhesive
material, and hot gun surfaces.
CAUTION: It is not necessary to disconnect any electrical connections
when installing a new filter assembly. However, do not allow the gun to be
supported only by its wiring, as this may cause the wiring to pull loose from
its connections.
