Please be sure that you put the spray gun properly by
keeping its perpendicularity to the piece to be painted
in order to achieve the maximum transfer of the
sprayed product and obtain the best finishing quality.
10.1. Clean Air
The air used for spraying must reach the gun free of impurities, aerosols, oil, silicone and solid
particles. To do this you must eliminate these with coalescent filter units.
The use of air treatment equipment with built-in pressure regulators is recommended (Models
SAGOLA 5200X, 5300X or 5300X Plus).
10.2. Sufficient volume of air
A sufficient volume of air can be supplied to the gun by means of an air compressor of adequate
power (1HP equals 110 L/min approximately), a good compressed air network and by avoiding
pressure drops through the use of antistatic, silicon-free air hoses with a minimum inside diame-
ter of 8 mm. and resistant to the spraying air pressure (minimum 20 bar) and to the aggressive
effects of paint solvents. Before assembling the air network, you must check on the air tightness
of the hose.
USE ANTISTATIC AIR HOSES. SHOULD AN ANTISTATIC AIR HOSE NOT BE AVAILA-
BLE, YOU MUST ATTACH THE UNIT TO A GROUND CONNECTION IN ORDER TO
ELIMINATE ANY STATIC ELECTRICITY.
The total derivative resistance must be <100 million ohms.
10.3. Adjusting Air Pressure
The gun leaves the factory with the internal flow regulator fully open. In
order to adjust this to the required pressure, turn the regulator clockwise
to reduce the inlet pressure and anticlockwise to increase this.
10.4. Amount of Product to be applied
Once the product to be applied has been adequately diluted, turn the
Product Regulator clockwise to reduce the amount of product and
anticlockwise to increase this.
During application, the amount of product applicable in areas that are
small or difficult to access can be reduced by reducing the pressure
applied with one's finger.
10.5. Application distance
Adjust the distance between the air nozzle and the object to cover to
between 10 and 20 cm, depending on the application, in accordance with
this, the product to be applied and working conditions, in order to increase
transfer and obtain a reduction in the amount of mist in accordance with
the air nozzle used in each case.
