14. Lubrication
The original lubrication of the gun is eliminated through use and cleaning. In order to guarantee
perfect operation, it is necessary to grease the regulating or fastening threads, friction areas,
etc. on a periodic basis, especially after each cleaning session and with greater care if the gun
has been cleaned in a machine.
Moving parts must be lubricated lightly after cleaning has been completed.
We recommend you use a light SAE 10 oil or natural grease or vasoline.
It is important to check that the lubricant used does not contain components that might impair
the spraying quality (Silicones, etc.).
15. Health and Safety
In order to carry out maintenance, repairs or cleaning, first disconnect the unit from the compressed
air system (Gravity Version) and the Reboiler or pressure pump (Pressure Version).
Never point the equipment towards yourself, other personnel or animals. The thinners and dilution
media used can cause serious injury.
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 dangerous 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 components 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. 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 air inlet pressure (6-8 bar)
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 manufacturer's recommendations) and cleaning
the gun.
If, when the gun is in use, the ambient noise level exceeds 90 dB, the use of approved ear protectors
is recommended.
The gun itself does not propitiate any mechanical risk of perforations, impact
or pinching, except those deriving from incorrect installations and handling.
While work is in progress, no vibrations are transmitted from the gun to any part of the body of
the operator and reaction forces are minimal.
