1 Intended Use
The ABAC Spray Gun PN 1 / PN 1A is intended for spraying paints and lacquers. The
spray gun should only be used for paints and lacquers approved by paint manufacturers
for High Volume Low Pressure (HVLP) air-spraying technique application. These are for
instance:
●Patina paints, two-component-paints, synthetic resin alkyd paints, acrylic and
dispersion paints, colour effect paints, insulation / inflammation protection paints,
sprayable wax materials.
Any use of the spray gun different from described in this manual is prohibited.
The difference between PN 1 and PN 1A ABAC Spray Guns consists in the appearance
of spray guns. The housing and individual parts of PN 1A Spray Gun are nickel plated,
the surface of PN 1 Spray Gun parts is without nickel covering. The appearance of guns
does not affect their performance and other characteristics.
Identification number of PN 1 Spray Gun is BJ 381 000 0021; PN 1A Spray Gun -
BJ 381 000 0020.
Always observe and comply with all processing instructions and safety notes provided
by material manufacturers as well the prescriptions of this operating manual.
In any case, only paints and solvents with a flash point above 21°C = 70°F may be
used for spraying!
Important ! The ABAC Spray Gun PN 1 / PN 1A must only be operated with low-
pressure blowers (from 0,2 to 0,45 bar)! It is preferable to operate the spray gun in
assembly with the original ABAC low pressure paint-spraying units.
As a part of original ABAC units, the ABAC Spray Gun PN 1 / PN 1A should work only
in combination with ABAC SG 2000,ABAC SG 2500 and ABAC SG 3001 blowers. It is
prohibited to use this spray gun together with blower units, where operating air is also
applied for motor cooling (for example, with blower ABAC SG 90). In case of their co-
use, when air supply will be stopped for spraying (by trigger release), motor overheating
and unit breakdown may occur due to air backflow and accumulation.
Ambient temperature range for equipment operation is from 0°Сto +45°С, relative
humidity must not exceed 80%. Conditions of transportation and storage see Section 5.

2 Brief Description
The
ABAC
Spray Gun PN
1 / PN
1
A
consists of
the spray gun itself and the screw-mounted paint
container. The air is supplied to the spray gun by
means of the connected air hose, which from the
one side is inserted into the gun handle and from
the other side is screwed into the connection pipe
of the ABAC low-pressure blower.
The air flows through the pressure hose (Fig. 3,
item 328) into the paint container where the
pressure results in a uniform flow of paint.
The trigger releases the paint contained in the
paint container for spraying through the nozzle.
The flow of air atomizes the paint at the air-head.
The amount of paint sprayed is adjustable with
the setting screw (Fig. 3, item 316).
The trigger of the PN 1 / PN 1A Spray Gun has
two positions:
●1st position: air channel is opened
●2nd position: paint channel is opened. Figure 1
Note: Keep your operating manual and attached CE declaration of conformity in a safe
place.

safe and workmanlike operation.
4.1 Principles; Correct Use
●The ABAC Spray Gun PN 1 / PN 1A is designed according to the latest technical findings
and complies with recognized safety regulations. However, if used improperly, there is a risk
of death or injury to the user or other persons, or of damage to the machine or other
property.
●The ABAC Spray Gun PN 1 / PN 1A should only be used for its intended purpose and when
it is in a perfect working order. The user must be safety conscious, fully aware of the risk,
and follow the operating instructions. Faults that could impair the operating safety of the
spray gun must be immediately remedied by an authorized person.
●The ABAC Spray Gun PN 1 / PN 1A must only be operated with low-pressure blowers (from
0,2 to 0,45 bar)! It is preferable to operate the spray gun in assembly with the original ABAC
low pressure paint-spraying units.
As a part of original ABAC units, the ABAC Spray Gun PN 1 / PN 1A should work only in
combination with ABAC SG 2000,ABAC SG 2500 and ABAC SG 3001 blowers. It is
prohibited to use this spray gun together with blower units, where operating air is also
applied for motor cooling (for example, with blower ABAC SG 90). In case of their co-use,
when air supply will be stopped for spraying (by trigger release), motor overheating and unit
breakdown may occur due to air backflow and accumulation.
Do not connect the spray gun to high-pressure blowers (from above 0,45 bar).
The equipment should never be used for any other purpose. The manufacturer or supplier is
not responsible and will not be liable for damage or injury resulting from improper use, which
shall be entirely at the user’s risk.
●Warranty obligations are valid only if the user observes the instructions and
recommendations described in this operating manual. Unauthorized changes and repair, use
for maintenance of spare parts other than original parts supplied with the product and
approved by the manufacturer or included in the spare parts list, as well operation of the
equipment under conditions other than those permitted in this manual, will void the
manufacturer’s guarantee for the ABAC Spray Gun PN 1 / PN 1A.

4.2 Safe Operation
●Comply with the requirements of accident prevention regulation “Processing of Coating
Materials” (e.g. in Germany VBG 23).
●All persons using the ABAC Spray Gun PN 1 / PN 1A must have read and understood this
Operating Manual, particularly the section entitled “Safety Notes”.
●Use only paints and solvents with a flash point of 21°C / 70°F or higher without additional
heating (see details on paint container).
●When working in confined spaces, these must be properly ventilated using effective
technical ventilation systems.
●The ABAC Spray Gun PN 1 / PN 1A is not splash-proof. It must not be used out of doors,
when it is raining or splashed or washed with water or immersed in liquid.
●The ABAC Spray Gun PN 1 / PN 1A must not be used in works locations subject to the
provisions of explosion prevention regulations, or on premises and in areas where there is a
risk of fire.
●Take care to ensure that there are no ignition sources in the vicinity, such as naked flames,
sparks, glowing wires, hot surfaces, lighted cigarettes etc. The distance between spray jet
exit and a possible source of ignition (even the device itself) must be at least 5 m (fire and
explosion hazard from ignitable spray mist).
●The sprayed paint emerges from the nozzle at high pressure. Never direct the spray jet at
people or animals. If the skin is injured by paint, lacquer or solvent there is a risk of infection.
Seek medical treatment immediately and inform the doctor which paint, lacquer or solvent
was used.
●Poisonous fumes may be given off during spraying (see details on the paint container). Use
a breathing mask as directed by paint manufacturer’s instructions. Keep children and other
people away from the working area.
●Keep the ABAC Spray Gun PN 1 / PN 1A in a safe place that is inaccessible to children and
unauthorized personnel. Make sure that no unauthorized personnel (particularly children)
can put the ABAC Spray Gun PN 1 / PN 1A into operation.
●Store your ABAC Spray Gun PN 1 / PN 1A in a dry ventilated room.
●For Safety reasons you should only use ABAC original accessories and ABAC original
spare parts.

●Always turn off the compressed air supplied by the blower before the paint container of the
ABAC Spray Gun PN 1 / PN 1A is refilled with paint.
●Repairs and maintenance works must only be carried out by authorized specialists or
by us (ABAC). Addresses of authorized firms can be obtained from us or from your
dealer upon request.
●Take care not to spray in the direction of the blower.
●Dispose of cleaning and spraying material wastes according to the instructions given by the
relevant lacquer, paint and solvent manufacturers.
5 Transportation and storage
The ABAC Spray Gun PN 1 / PN 1A is supplied in a cardboard box. To avoid damage during
transportation and storage, we recommend to use this original packaging. Store your equipment
in a dry ventilated room.
Ambient temperature range for equipment storage is from 0°Сto +45°С, relative humidity must
not exceed 80%.
6 Start-Up and Operation
6.1 Connecting the Spray Gun
●Insert the air hose of the ABAC low-pressure blower into the insulated handle of the spray
gun (see Fig.1).
6.2 Paint Preparation
●To ensure a satisfactory finish and problem-free working, particular attention must be paid to
preparation of paints and / or lacquers.
Before you begin spraying, thin paints with the solvent specified by the supplier (if
necessary). Add enough thinner so that after sufficient stirring the paint easily runs off the
stirrer. To avoid uncertainly, we recommend the use of the dipper for viscosity check,
whereby the time taken for the paint to run out shows whether the paint is still too thick and
requires further thinning. As a general rule, the run out time is 18 to 30 DIN seconds for
paints and lacquers, and 25 to 50 DIN seconds for special-effect lacquers and coating fillers
(see section 13 Annex). These values were determined at a temperature of 20°C / 70°F.
Lacquer and paint manufacturers usually specify the most favorable spraying consistency for
their products.

8
●Test the viscosity with the dipper as follows:
After thinning the paint or lacquer to spraying consistency, immerse the dipping cup until it is
full to the brim. To test, take the cup out quickly and count the number of seconds until all
the paint has flowed through the 4 mm nozzle, that is to say, up to the moment, when there
is a break in the outflow of paint. Count the seconds with your wrist watch or a stopwatch.
Where, for example, a consistency of 19 DIN seconds is required but the test result is 24
DIN seconds, thin the paint accordingly and repeat the measurement.
It is advisable to clean the dipping cup immediately after use so that it can be reused for the
next measurement.
●After thinning and stirring, sieve the paint into a clean container. To sieve the paint use a
fine-mesh paint and lacquer sieve or nylon fabric.
“Our motto is: Correct thinning and sieving is half the battle won!”
6.3 Selecting the Correct Nozzle
Before you begin spraying, you must select the right nozzle for the paint and for the object to be
sprayed (see also Section 13 “Annex”). For normal spraying work, the standard nozzle set (1.0
– 1.5 – 2.0 mm) is adequate:
·With low-viscosity paint and when spraying small objects or surface areas, use the 1.0 mm
nozzle; for larger surface areas use the 1.5 mm nozzle.
·With normal paints and lacquers and for objects with larger surface areas, select the 1.5
mm nozzle.
·When working with high-viscosity paint or when applying thick coats (for example floating
lacquering) use the 2.0 mm nozzle.
·Other nozzles sizes are available for special applications:
0,2 – 0,3 – 0.5 – 0.8 – 1.2 – 1.8 – 2.5 and 3.0 mm (special accessories).
