5. Warnings
·
Before and after each job
, the spraygun must be locked with the
safety system*
in such a way
that the trigger is locked when the cap is fully closed (clockwise).
* Safety system incorporated in later versions dated 2019/04
·
Before putting the unit into operation,
and especially after each cleaning and/or repair
operation, a check must be made that the gun
components
are
securely tightened
and that the
air and/or product
hoses
are
airtight (no leaks).
Faulty parts must be replaced or repaired as
appropriate.
·
The gun is easy to handle
thanks to its design and the simplicity of its mechanisms.
No special
training is required
for handling the gun.
Use the gun according to the operating, maintenance
and safety instructions indicated
in this manual and
follow the application methods
indicated to
obtain the required quality of finish.
·
Before putting the unit into operation, we recommend
you to clean the gun
as this has been subjected to functio-
nal tests and before packaging it is treated internally with
a protective coating, some of which may still remain.
Apply
thinner
to eliminate this. Remove any residual grease
applied during assembly.
·
Ensure that the products to be applied are chemically compatible with the components these come
into contact with
(aluminium, stainless steel, polyamide, Tugsten carbide, PTFE and FKM).
·
Do not use corrosive or abrasive products.
The gun has been designed for long service
and can be
used with the majority of the products available on the
market.
Its use with highly aggressive products will quickly
increase the need for maintenance and spares. If you need
to apply special products, please contact SAGOLA S.A.
·
Read and apply all the information, instructions and safety measures indicated by the manufac-
turer of the products to be applied
(thinners, etc.)
as these may provoke chemical reactions, fires
and/or explosions, or be toxic, irritant or harmful and in all cases dangerous for the health and
personal safety of the user and of other persons nearby (see chapter on Safety and Health).
· Mix, prepare and filter the product to be applied in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions, ensuring that any foreign bodies are prevented
from spoiling the quality of finish and application. Should there be any doubt
relating to the purity of the product, its composition, etc., please contact your
supplier.
·
Control the viscosity of the product
to be applied with the SAGOLA Viscosi-
meter - Code 56418001
6. Useful tips
·
Use the lowest spray pressure
in the nozzle that allows you to obtain the required finish. Not all
products require the maximum pressure for correct spraying. With a lower pressure, less air is
consumed and there is an additional increase in product transfer.
·
Pay special
attention to the application speed
. The thickness of the film deposited may be
greater than planned if the application speed is low, and the opposite is also true.
