spray pressure, poor optimisation of spray parameters to reduce
contamination, lack of personal protective equipment, inhalation
of solvent vapours or other hazardous substances must be
avoided. Too close proximity of the operating gun to the surface
to be painted can cause paint particles to bounce back towards
the user causing a hazard to the user. Anticipate the dangers of
using a defective compressor or incorrectly adjusted compressor
pressure, and the dangers of using unsuitable or dangerous
fluids. Do not spray against the wind. As a general rule, observe
the regulations of the local authorities when spraying, spraying
flammable, possibly dangerous agents.
- Do not use agents such as white spirit, butyl alcohol,
methylene chloride when connecting to a PVC pressure hose
(this reduces the 'life' of the hose).
Caution: do not use thinner or cleaning agents that cause
oxidation of the aluminium container, the gun itself and its
galvanised parts. In extreme situations, oxidation can cause an
explosion. Manufacturers of paint materials and solvents provide
relevant information on the products. Under no circumstances
should acids be used to clean air tools.
Please keep and observe the safety instructions.
Commissioning and use of pneumatic tools
Recommendations when supplying pneumatic tools with
compressed air:
- The incoming air should always be clean and dry.
- The use of filter elements that capture water particles, solid
particles and oily particles is recommended.
- Check the hose and connection fittings before each use for
suitability for use and for leaks and correct connection.
- Check the supply equipment (e.g. compressor, pneumatic
system) before each use.
- To take full advantage of the tool's power and performance,
use quick couplings and hoses of the correct length and
diameter.
- Avoid kinking the hose.
- Do not use tools for industrial purposes.
- Do not use tools in the food industry.
- Do not use tools in dusty environments.
Caution: the permissible supply pressure must not be exceeded!
Excessive pressure will cause the tool to exceed its permissible
parameters and may result in damage to the tool and/or hose
and an accident.
Recommendations when working with a pneumatic tool:
Before working with a pneumatic tool, ensure that it is connected
to the power source in the correct order.

Pneumatic tool (example drawing)
*Applies to spray guns only.
The tool must not be repaired, adjusted or parts replaced while
in use.
During breaks in operation or when moving from one place to
another, the spray must be removed from the tank (when using a
spray gun or oil gun), then the compressed air supply must be
disconnected, and then the tool tip must be removed from the
hose coupling. When replacing the tool tip, the compressed air
supply should be closed to avoid ejection when the tool is
accidentally activated.
The tools must be protected against falls and impacts and
against contamination with e.g. mud, water, sand, etc. and must
be maintained in accordance with the operating instructions, and
attention must be paid to keeping the compressed air supply
lines in good working order.
Recommendations on the use of spiral hoses:
The hoses should be:
- firmly attached to their ends.
- gas-tight (if a leak is detected, the compressed air supply must
be switched off immediately),
- connected to power sources equipped with air de-volatisers
and condensation pots.
- protected against mechanical damage and the effects of
corrosive materials (acids, alkalis), oils and greases.
Reinforced hoses should be used in areas exposed to
mechanical damage. If the hose is found to come into contact
with corrosive materials, wash off the hose with plenty of water
and check that it is still leak-proof, that discolouration and/or
deformation has occurred, that the hardness of the outer surface
of the hose has changed. A damaged hose must not be used.
Hose contaminated externally with grease or oil should be
thoroughly cleaned with a dry cotton poultice.
The use of a hose which is damaged and/or contaminated as
described above. may cause an accident at work.
The hose should only be connected and disconnected from the
tool when the air valve is closed. The air supply must not be cut
off by kinking the hose.
Once the hose has been connected to the power source, it must
first be blown, taking the necessary precautions to remove any
dust that has accumulated in the hose, and then the air tool must
be connected.
Hoses should not touch or be near live electrical cables.
Description of operation and use:
The spray gun is designed to apply the following painting and
varnishing materials: metallised and non-metallised lacquers,
enamels, primers, acrylic paints, acrylic primers and spray
putties (according to the manufacturer's instructions).
A metal housing and trigger are used. The gun has an
adjustable paint supply, an adjustable spray cone (round or
flattened spray), and an adjustable air supply from the
compressor.
Before spraying, read the paint and thinner manufacturer's
instructions.
Wash the spray gun in thinner appropriate to the paint material
used, but do not immerse it in it.
Use the correct size of quick couplings and the correct diameter
of spiral hoses - this will make the most of the tool's
performance, including its efficiency.
