12. Cleaning

When work has been completed, both the spray gun must be cleaned with the appropriate
thinner, in order to remove any remaining product.
Operate the mechanisms and spray the thinner until the application is clean. Repeat the operation
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 thinner 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.
