20/21

5. Warnings

· 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
product hose 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.
· 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.
