IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS. USE THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.
SAFETY
- Familiarise yourself with the application and limitations, as well as the potential hazards of the spray gun.
- WARNING! Disconnect the spray gun from the air supply before changing accessories, servicing or performing any maintenance.
- Maintain the spray gun in good condition (use an authorised service agent).
- Replace or repair damaged parts. Use recommended parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
- Locate the spray gun in a suitable work area, keep the area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials, and ensure that there is adequate ventilation and lighting.
- Keep the spray gun clean for the best and safest performance.
- Ensure the air system has sufficient output for the spray gun air consumption (see specification).
- Wear approved respiratory protection, eye protection and skin protection.
- Remove ill-fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings and other loose jewellery and tie back long hair.
- Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.
- When the gun is not in use ensure the air supply is disconnected.
- Avoid unintentional operation.
- 8 DO NOT paint where there is any source, or possible source, of ignition as paint mist is extremely flammable.
- 8 DO NOT point a spray gun at yourself or at other persons or animals.
- 8 DO NOT carry the by the air hose, or yank the hose from the air supply.
- 8 DO NOT use the spray gun for any purpose other than for which it is designed.
- 8 DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the spray gun.
- 8 DO NOT get the spray gun wet or use in damp locations or areas where there is condensation.
- 8 DO NOT operate gun if any parts are missing or damaged as this may cause failure and/or personal injury.
- 8 DO NOT direct air from the air hose at yourself or others.
INTRODUCTION
Ideal for applying undercoat, adhesives and primers. Features adjustable paint flow and fan width controls. Supplied with aluminium screw-type suction feed pot. Suitable for use with water-based paints. Alternative set-ups available separately.
SPECIFICATION
- Model No : …………………………………………………..SSG2.V3
- Air Consumption: ……………………………………………5-11cfm
- Available Set-Up(s): …………………..1.2, 1.8, 2, 2.2, 2.5mm
- Pot Capacity : ……………………………………………………800ml
- Recommended Air Pressure : ……………………………… 60psi
- Standard Set-Up : …………………………………………….1.5mm
AIR SUPPLY
- For recommended hook-up, see fig.1. Ensure the air valve is in the “off” position before connecting to the air supply.
- You will require an air supply capable of providing a pressure 60psi and an air volume of 11cfm to operate the gun.
- WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and is regulated to a maximum of 60psi. Too high an air pressure and unclean air will shorten the life of the gun due to excessive wear and may be dangerous, causing damage and/or personal injury.
- Drain the air supply tank and pressure regulator daily. Water in the air line will damage the gun and contaminate the paint.
- Clean the compressor air inlet filter weekly.
- Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres). The minimum hose diameter should be 10mm (3/8”) I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
- Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear, and make certain that all connections are secure.
OPERATION
- ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IN SECTION 1.
- For best results, the gun must be handled and operated correctly. It should be held perpendicular to the surface being sprayed and moved parallel to it. Start the stroke before squeezing the trigger and release the trigger before finishing the stroke. This will enable you to accurately control the gun and paint, fig. 2.
- Spray from a distance of about 150 (6”) to 250mm (10”) depending on the material and the atomizing pressure. The paint deposited should always be even and wet. Each stroke must overlap the preceding stroke to obtain a uniform finish. To reduce over-spray and obtain maximum efficiency, spray with the lowest effective atomizing air pressure.
- Controlling the fan spray and the paint:
- Use the paint control knob, fig. 3.A to increase or decrease the paint flow.
- Fig. 3.B is the air input control and should be set to the lowest effective flow.
- Turn the air cup, fig. 4.1 to achieve a horizontal or vertical fan spray. Lock the cup with a retaining ring, fig. 4.2.
- In normal operation, the wings on the cup are horizontal as fig.4. This provides a vertical fan-shaped pattern, fig.5 which gives the optimum coverage when moving the gun back and forth, parallel to the work surface.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ENSURE THAT THE GUN IS CORRECTLY CLEANED AFTER EACH
USE.
Disconnect from the air supply before attempting any cleaning, other than
flushing, or maintenance.
CLEANING THE GUN
- Clean out pot with clean solvent.
- Flush the gun thoroughly with solvent and clean the nozzle with solvent and a brush. DO NOT immerse/soak the nozzle in a solvent.
- DO NOT immerse the entire gun in a solvent. This will cause lubricants to dissolve and packing to dissolve or dry out.
- Wipe the outside of the gun with a solvent-dampened rag.
- If you need to clear blocked orifices, only use a non-metallic probe that is softer than brass.
MAINTENANCE
- Lubricate the gun daily with a light machine oil. Be sure to lubricate the fluid needle packing, air valve packing and trigger pivot point. If you change the nozzle size, ensure the complete nozzle set is exchanged. Insert the paint nozzle before putting the paint needle in.
NOTE: Take care when reassembling. Screw parts hand tight to avoid cross- threading. If a part cannot easily be turned by hand, check that you have the correct part, or unscrew, realign and try again. DO NOT use excessive force when reassembling.
TROUBLESHOOTING
A faulty spray is usually caused by improper cleaning or dried material around
the fluid nozzle tip or in the air cup – use a brush and solvent to remove it.
Never use metal instruments to clean the air cup or paint nozzle. These parts
are carefully machined and any damage to them will cause a faulty spray. If
either the air cup or paint nozzle is damaged, the part must be replaced
before a perfect spray can be obtained.
