1.2 Short description
The spray gun is intended for surface
coating. Compressed air is used to apply
material. The material to be atomized is fed
via flow cups. The spray gun is handheld.
Use a suitable nozzle set with air cap,
depending on the requirement Ä 6.3
“Selecting air cap”.
The following factors influence the spray jet
and the result:
Alignment of the air cap Ä 6.5 “Alignment
of the air cap”
Material flow Ä 5 “Commissioning”
Air pressure Ä 5 “Commissioning”
Horn air pressure Ä 5 “Commissioning”
The spray gun uses a self-adjusting needle
package. The needle gland automatically
adjusts for the material-related wear of the
needle gland. In addition, the needle packing
can be readjusted mechanically.

6.1 Safety recommendations
WARNING!
Danger of explosion due to chemical
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.
– Rinse product immediately after each
use.
6.2 Checks
1. Perform the following checks during oper-
ation:
Check air connection for correct seat
and leaks.
Check air car for cleanliness.
Check nozzle for cleanliness.
6.3 Selecting air cap
You can convert the spray gun for various
uses by swapping the air cap.
Air cap AL
The air cap AL is used for solvent-based
coating materials (1-component paints and
2-component paints) and water-based ones.
It is used for application of fillers, basecoats
and topcoats. If used with a hardened
nozzle, coating materials with abrasive addi-
tives (coating materials containing zinc and
aluminum) can be applied.
Air cap EL
The air cap EL is used for solvent-based
coating materials (1-component paints and
2-component paints) and water-based ones,
if higher outflow rates are required.
Air cap GL
The air cap GL is used for thick, high vis-
cosity coating materials. It is used for appli-
cation at a high outflow rate.

7 Cleaning and maintenance
7.1 Safety recommendations
WARNING!
Danger of fire and explosion
Flammable coating materials and their
detergents and cleaning agents can cause
a fire or an explosion.
– Ensure that the flashpoint of the fluid is
at least 15 K above the ambient tem-
perature.
– Note explosion group of the fluid.
– Follow safety data sheets.
–Ensure that forced ventilation and fire
protection equipment are in operation.
– Do not use sources of ignition and
open light.
– Do not smoke.
WARNING!
Risk of injury from unsuitable replace-
ment parts in explosive areas.
Replacement parts not compliant with the
specifications of the ATEX guidelines can
cause explosions in an explosive atmos-
phere. Serious injuries and death can be
the consequence.
– Use exclusively original replacement
parts.
WARNING!
Danger to health from harmful or irri-
tant substances
Contact with hazardous liquids or vapors,
can result in serious injury or death.
– Ensure that the forced ventilation is
operational.
– Follow safety data sheets.
– Wear specified protective clothing.
WARNING!
Risk of injury due to escaping material
and compressed air
Escaping compressed material can cause
serious injury.
Before carrying out any work:
– Disconnect the system, in which the
spray gun is installed, from com-
pressed air and material supply.
– Secure the system against reconnec-
tion.
–Relieve the lines.
WARNING!
Danger of explosion due to chemical
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.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury due to spring tension
The set screw of the spray gun is under
spring tension. If you remove the set
screw, the spring tension could cause the
set screw to jump out unexpectedly and
cause light injuries.
– Remove and install set screw.
