Operating Instructions SATAgraph 1
Prior to putting the unit/paint spray gun into operation, read the operating instructions comple-
tely and thoroughly. The stipulations contained therein are to be respected in any case. After
that, the operating instructions are to be stored in a safe place, accessible for every user of the
equipment. The unit/paint spray gun may only be put into operation by persons familiar with its
use. Inappropriate use of the unit/paint spray gun, modification of any kind or combination with
inappropriate other parts may cause material damage, serious hazard to the user‘s, other person‘s
or animal‘s health or even death. SATA shall not take any responsibility for such damages (e.g.
failure to respect the stipulations laid out in the operating instructions). The applicable safety,
workplace and worker health protection regulations of the respective country or area/district in
which the system/the paint spray gun is used are to be respected in any case (e.g. the German
Rules for the Prevention of Accidents BGR 500 (BGV D25) and BGV D24 issued by the Central
Office of the Professional Trade Associations, etc.).
Preface
Never point paint spray guns at yourself, at other persons or animals. Solvents and thinners can
cause burns. Only the respective quantities of solvents and paints required for work progress may
be present in the direct surroundings of the unit (after work, solvents and paints are to be returned
to their assigned storage rooms). Prior to any repair work the unit must be disconnected from the
air supply. Prior to putting the unit into operation, especially after each cleaning and each
repair work, check all screws and nuts for tight fit, as well as the sealing performance of
the spray guns and hoses. Defective components must be replaced or repaired accordingly. To
obtain best possible coating results, and for maximum safety, only use original spare parts. No
sources of ignition (e.g. open flames, burning cigarettes, lamps without ex-protection etc.) may be
present during painting, as easily flammable mixture are generated during the painting process.
Occupational safety regulations must be applied when painting (respiratory protection, etc.). No
vibration is transmitted to the upper parts of the operator‘s body during use of the paint spray
gun. Recoil forces are negligible. The use of this product in explosion hazard areas Zone 0
is prohibited.

Operating Instructions SATAgraph 1
The SATAgraph 1 is a „Double Action“ airbrush paint spray gun allowing to control and to dose
compressed air supply and material flow independently from each other. By pushing the trigger
(1) the compressed air is released, and the compressed air volume is regulated. When pulling
back the trigger (1), the needle is pulled out of the paint nozzle, and material flow is released.
Dosage is effected by means of the trigger movement, depending on the paint needle (6) pre-
setting - see chapter 4.5. Different effects may be achieved in great variations by modifying the
air and paint flow.
Please note: Always keep the trigger under pressure during the entire painting procedure.
Heed the rule: „Start with compressed air, finish with compressed air !“
2. Functional Description

2
The trigger is pushed and pulled
towards the back at the same
time. Thus, the needle is
pushed towards the back,
releasing the nozzle opening
for the paint flow.
By pushing down the trigger, the
air valve is opened. Compressed
air streams through the nozzle
and drags the paint along due to
the vacuum thus created.

Operating Instructions SATAgraph 1
4.1 Air pressure
The operating pressure is approx. 1 - 3 bars. The higher the gun inlet pressure, the better the
atomization and the more difficult the handling. When the pressure is too low, no optimum paint
atomization is achieved, depending on the paint material. If the compressor allows adjustment of
the output pressure, different pressures may be tried until the desired results are achieved.
4.2 Paint material
When using solvent-based paints and lacquers it must be ensured to thin them down until they
reach the consistency of milk. Otherwise the paints and lacquers are too thick to be „brushed“,
and it is not possible to achieve a fine atomization with sufficient material flow. Waterborne paints
and lacquers, too, must be thinned sufficiently.
Modern airbrush colors and lacquers are offered ready for spraying. Please respect the material
manufacturers‘ stipulations.
4.3 Correct adjustment of the gun inlet pressure
Adjust required operating pressure (1 - 3 bars) at the pressure regulation unit
of the compressor, as far as available. This unit is integrated directly at the
compressor air outlet, or into an air supply pipe. The pressure regulator can
also be a compressed air filter unit with pressure regulator, e.g. „SATA 0/444“,
connected in between. By pushing down the trigger (1) the compressed air
volume can be adjusted.
4.4 Material volume
By pulling the trigger (1), the material flow can be adjusted. Adjusting the
needle stroke defined by the user: Unscrew end piece (10), loosen paint
needle quick tension (9). Adjust trigger (1) bedstop according to requirements
(hold in position), push paint needle under slight pressure towards the front into
the paint nozzle (5) until bedstop and then fix paint needle by means of the
paint needle tension (9). Connect end piece (10).

4.5 Nozzle set replacement (without tool)
The nozzle set consists of air cap (4), paint nozzle with „O“ ring (5) and paint
needle (6). For dismantling the nozzle set the end piece (10) must be unscre-
wed completely from the gun body (2).
4. Putting into Operation
Before putting into operation, and especially after each cleaning and any repair work, check to see
that all screws and nuts are tight. The paint spray gun has been treated with an anticorrosive agent
before leaving the factory and must therefore be flushed out thoroughly with thinner before. For
servicing/repair work of any kind, the system must be devoid of pressure, i.e. disconnected from
the air supply. Failure to respect this safety warning may result in damage and injuries, even death
at worst. SATA does not take any responsibility for possible results of such failure.

Operating Instructions SATAgraph 1
The paint nozzle (5) is removed from the gun body (2) after screwing off the
air cap (4).
Pleas note:
The paint nozzle (6) is inserted only loosely into the air cap (5) - danger of
damage by dropping.
Assembly in the opposite sense:
After tightening the air cap (4) and the paint needle (6) is carefully pushed into
the gun body (2) towards the paint nozzle (5) at the front until bedstop and fixed
by tightening the paint needle quick tightening (10). Do neither cant the paint
nozzle (6) nor damage paint needle tip.
Attention:
Danger of hurting at the needle tip. When foreign parts are integrated the quality level may
decline and the SATA warranty expires.
Nozzle sets:
134619 0,25 for SATAgraph 1 (1 groove on paint needle, paint nozzle/air cap)
134635 0,45 for SATAgraph 1 (3 grooves on paint needle, paint nozzle/air cap)
Never use force. Using improper tools such as pipe wrench, gas torch, etc. will void any warranty.
In many cases proper repairs can only be carried out with the aid of special tools. In such cases,
limit yourself to establishing the cause of the problem and leave the repairs to the service depart-
ment. We refuse to accept liability for perfect functioning of the spray gun if it is disassembled by
the customer.
a) Clean airbrush paint spray gun during every color change.
b) Flush paint spray gun with water, airbrush cleaner or corresponding solvent. With
paints and lacquers having a high pigment content paint and lacquer remainders
quickly deposit on the needle and around the needle cap.
c) After finishing the work, thorough cleaning of the parts in contact with lacquer and
paint is required.
d) If possible, the integrated air piston unit (7) should not be dismantled.
Occasionally grease lever mechanism and needle in the area of the lever
mechanism with a thin layer of silicone-free gun grease (Order No. 48173).
Do not grease the needle tip and the area of air cap and paint nozzle!

the product without charge for parts or labour subject to the following conditions. The warranty covers
the value for production parts or defects in material during the warranty period. The warranty does not
include damages caused by improper handling, normal wear and tear, mechanical damages, faulty
assembly, improper maintenance, unusual spray materials substitute materials, chemicals such as
alkaline solutions and acids, electro-chemical or electric influences, as far as this damage is not the
result of any error committed by us. Abrasive spray material such as red lead and liquid grinding mate-
rial etc. reduce the lifetime of valves, packings, guns and nozzles. Wear and tear damage caused by
this are not covered in this warranty. Units should be inspected upon delivery by the consumer. Obvious
damage must be reported within 14 days of receipt of the unit to the supplier to avoid loss of the right
to claim notice of defects.
Additional claims such as compensation are excluded. This refers as well to damages caused during
meetings , training sessions, or demonstrations. Should the consumer require immediate repair or
replacement before a determination of whether the affected unit is covered by the warranty, the repair
or the replacement will be made and charged at the current prices. If it is determind that the item is
covered by the warranty, a credit will be issued for the repair or replacement. Replaced parts become
the property of SATA or their distributor. Notice of defects or other claims do not entitle the consumer
to delay or refuse payment. Returned merchandise to SATA must be sent prepaid. All service charges,
freight and handling charges are to be paid by the consumer. The charges made will be in accordance
with the currently existing pricing. Suretyships may not prolong the warranty period. This warranty
terminates upon unauthorized inference.
Caution! When using solvents and cleaning agents based on halogenated hydrocarbons e.g.
1.1.1-trichlorethylene and methylene chloride, chemical reactions can occur on the aluminium
cup, gun and galvanized components (small quantities of water added to 1.1.1-trichlorethyelene
produce hydrochloric acid). This can cause oxidation of the components; in extreme cases, the
reaction can be explosive. Therefore, only use solvents and cleaning agents for your paint gun
which do not contain the substances named above. You must never use acid, alkaline solutions/
lye or stripping agents for cleaning.
