provided for this purpose, together with his stamp.
Once the unit has been received, please complete the warranty
and send this to the manufacturer for validation.
This WARRANTY covers any manufacturing defect, which will
be repaired free of charge. However, any malfunction resulting
from the incorrect use of the unit, such as inadequate
connections, breakage due to dropping, or similar, the normal
wear of components and in general any deficiency not
attributable to the manufacturer of the device, are expressly
excluded. Likewise, the WARRANTY shall be rendered null
and void when it is evident that the unit has been handled by

PIn order to carry out maintenance, repairs or cleaning,
first disconnect the unit from the pneumatic supply, after
having correctly carried out the DEPRESSURISATION
procedure described in Section 10 of the Manual.
Never point the unit towards yourself, other personnel or
animals. The thinners and dilution media used can cause
serious injury.
With this unit the product is sprayed at a very high pressu-
re. The stream coming from the gun, from leaks, or due to
the breakage of a component in the unit, could cause the
product to be injected at high pressure under the skin.
LIkewise if the product is sprayed or splashed in the eyes it
can cause serious harm.
Never attempt to stop the application stream or a leak with
your hand or any other part of your body. If you suspect
you may have sprayed the product on your skin, IMMEDIA-
TELY SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. This incidence must
not be treated as a simple cut. Describe the product with
which it ocurred to the Doctor in as much detail as possible.
The location where work is carried out must have sufficient
ventilation in accordance with current legislation and
regulations.
Near the unit, only keep the amount of product and thinner
required for the work being done at that time. After work
has been completed, thinners and the product to be
applied must be returned to their corresponding storage
location.
Keep the working area clean and free of potentially dange-
rous waste (thinners, rags, etc.)
While work is in progress, there must not be any source of
ignition (naked flames, lighted cigarettes, etc.) in the
working area as these might generate easily flammable
gases. Likewise, the approved protective means must be
used (breathing, hearing, etc.) in accordance with the
regulations established in this regard.
If the unit is used in an inadequate manner or its compo-
nents are altered in any way, severe material damage may
occur and bodily harm may be caused to the operator,
other personnel and/or animals and may even cause
death. SAGOLA, S.A.U. accepts no responsibility in for any
damage caused through the incorrect use of the unit.
Always use approved breathing units in accordance with
current standards and regulations in order to protect
yourself from emissions produced during application.
Never exceed the maximum operation pressure. The units
are calibrated by the manufacturer in accordance with the
design specifications described in its characteristics.
As a general preventive measure we advise you to wear
goggles in accordance with the specific environmental
regulations and characteristics for the work centre.
Use gloves when handling the product (see the manufactu-
rer's recommendations) and cleaning the gun.
If, when the gun is in use, the ambient noise level exceeds
90 dB. the use of approved hearing protection is recom-
mended. The gun in itself does not propitiate any mechani-
cal risk of perforations, impact or pinching, except those
deriving from incorrect installations and handling.
USE SAGOLA ANTISTATIC HOSES TO ELIMINATE POSSI -
BLE ELECTRICAL DISCHARGES THAT MIGHT CREATE THE
RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
Pay adequate attention when handling the unit in order to
prevent any damage that might lead to dangerous
situations for the user or personnel standing near the unit,
as a consequence of leaks, breakages, etc.
The gun has been designed for use at ambient temperatu-
re. The maximum operating temperature is 50
o
C.
The use of solvents and/or detergents that contain halogena-
ted hydrocarbons (trichloroethane, methyl chloride, etc.),
may cause chemical reactions in the unit as well as in its
zinc-coated components (trichloroethane mixed with small
amounts of water produces hydrochloric acid). For this
reason, these components may rust and in extreme cases the
chemical reaction caused may be explosive. We recommend
you use products that do not contain the aforementioned
components. Do not use acids, soda (alkalis or pickling
substances, etc.) for cleaning under any circumstances.
In general, precautions must be taken whenever the unit is
handled, in order to prevent any deterioration to it. Connec-
tors must be securely tightened and in good condition.
Safety standards must be understood and applied. Any
non-compliance with the indications set out in this manual
may lead to incidents affecting the physical integrity of the
user or other personnel or animals.
Respect and comply with indications relating to the conser-
vation of the environment.
