Using
Store opened cartridges in a cool and dry area. Squeeze sealant until it is
barely coming out. Seal the nozzle opening with a nail or a screw.
Air Pressure and Air Volume
Operate the air caulking gun with a pressure of 2 – 4 bar using a compressor
with an air suction capacity of at least 150 l/min. When using higher pressure
for operating the air tool than the max. permitted pressure of 4.2 bar, its self
life will be reduced drastically. The ideal capacity is provided by compressors
with a suction capacity of 200 – 300 l/min.
Only use air hoses with an inner diameter of at least 9 mm. When setting up
the air pressure, always keep in mind that the pressure will decrease by
approx. 0.6 bar when using a 10 m long hose with an inner diameter of 9 mm.
Maintenance and Care
Before maintaining the tool, always disconnect the tool from the compressed
air source.
To ensure proper functionality and a long lifetime, diligent maintenance is
essential.
For operating pneumatic tools, clean air is required. Corrosion residues, dust
and dirt from the pneumatic pipes reduce the efficiency of the tool and will
cause technical problems. An upstream maintenance unit consisting of filter
and pressure regulator valve removes moisture and dirt from the air and
controls the working pressure.
After use, clean the housing of the air caulking gun with a moist cloth.
Do not use abrasive or aggressive chemicals as benzene or thinner, which
may dissolve plastic parts.
Do not allow liquids to enter the unit and never immerse it into liquids. Water in
the compressed air inlet can damage the machine. Therefore it is
recommended to drain the air lines and the compressor in regular intervals!
Also clean the air filters in regular intervals.
The air caulking gun requires clean and oil-free air. So do not use an oil-fog
lubricator within the air supply system.
If possible, only use compressed air hoses for the air supply that previously
have not been used with other air tools which required an oil-fog lubrication
system.
Storing
Store the air caulking gun in a dry location that is protected from dust and dirt.
