12. Cleaning

When work has been completed, both the gun and the product cup must be cleaned with the
appropriate thinner, in order to remove any remaining product.
Empty the product cup and pour in the thinner, fit and close the cup cover.
Operate the mechanisms and spray the thinner until the application is clean. Repeat the opera-
tion as many times as may be necessary. Remove any remains of product from the gun and cup
with a cloth soaked in thinner.
Keep air gasket areas free of accretions and foreign bodies.
The air nozzle is a precision component. Any deformation,
especially in the air outlet orifices, may cause malfunctions
in its operation and incorrect or deficient quality spraying. If
necessary, dip the air nozzle in thinner in order to soften the
remains of product or dirt. Once softened, blow the nozzle
with compressed air until any remains of product and thin-
ner are eliminated.
Should it be necessary to remove the air nozzle, do this with
an appropriate, soft object, with great care and avoiding
any marking or scratching.
Release the elastic ring ring that holds its components to-
gether.
Once disassembled, clean with thinner, using the cleaning brush supplied.
Do not use any hard or metallic object. The blocked orifices of the
nozzle must not be cleaned with a sharp or hard object under any
circumstances.
Assemble the nozzle.
For automatic cleaning of the gun, tools and accessories used in the mixing and preparation of
the product to be applied, we recommend the use of SAGOLA washing machines.
The gun can be cleaned with thinners or detergents in a gun washing machine. If you opt for this
cleaning system, we advise you to remember the following considerations, which, if not applied,
may damage the gun and render the warranty null and void:
- Do not submerge the gun in solvent or detergents longer than the
time required for cleaning.
- Do not use the gun immediately after cleaning has been completed.
- Ensure that there is no thinner or detergent inside and that it is
completely free of these substances. Other cleaning systems can
be used (ultrasound).
