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 Liters/minute. approximately), a good compressed air network and by
avoiding pressure drops through the use of antistatic, silicon-free air hoses with a minimum inside
diameter of 8 mm. and resistant to the spraying air pressure (minimum 20 bar) and to the aggressi-
ve 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 available, you must attach the unit
to a ground connection in order to eliminate any static electricity.
The total derivative resistance must be <1 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.
11. Maintenance
In order to carry out maintenance, repairs or cleaning, first disconnect the unit from the compressed
air distribution network.
Do not apply excessive force or inadequate tools for maintaining and cleaning the unit. Some
repairs must be done with special tools on some occasions.
In these cases, you must contact the Customer Service of SAGOLA. Any handling of this product by
non-authorised personnel would render the warranty null and void.
The unit must be overhauled on a periodic basis to check the status of its components and replace
these when they are not in perfect condition.
In order to obtain the best possible results, always use original spares. ensure total interchan-
geability, safety and operation.
