WARNING! BEFORE USING AIR TOOL PLEASE READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL
CAREFULLY.
ONLY QUALIFIED AND WELL-TRAINED STAFF ACQUAINTED WITH THE MANUAL CAN USEAND
OPERATE THIS TOOL.
The operation manual contains the description, safety rules and all the information necessary for proper maintenance of FUBAG pneumatic tool. Please keep the operation manual and refer to it in case of any questions concerning safety operation, maintenance, storage and transportation of FUBAG tool. Nonobservance of the indicated recommendations may cause the damage of the tool and injuries of the user.
Safety rules
- Sprays are high inflammable at atomization. Always refer to the operation manual before using it.
- It is strongly recommended to use personal protective equipment to defend the respiratory apparatus from harmful impact.
- Always wear protective spectacles during operation.
- Always wear protective gloves during operation.
- The noise level may exceed 85 dB depending on the adjustment used. It is recommended to use headphones during the operation.
- Do not carry out any operations if the equipment is defective or worn out.
- Direct the nozzle only at the cleanable surface.
- Use the abrasive with the required features.
- Never direct the flow of air and abrasive material mixture under the pressure at people, animals, electric equipment or susceptible to abrasive material impact surface as the flow has cutting and abrasive properties.
- The personnel carrying out closely related operations in the zone of the abrasive cleaning are to wear protective spectacles.
- Check the line of the compressed air input line and the connectors for leakages.
- Do not use the spare parts of the other manufacturers. Always use only original spare parts. Do not change the tool construction.
Danger:
- Do not stay at the working area of the abrasive cleaning without any protective spectacles (closer than 15 meters).
- Do not direct the pneumatic tool or flow of the compressed air at the people, animals or your own body.
- Do not direct the flow of the compressed air at the compressor.
- Do not work without any protective footwear. Do not touch the operating compressor with wet hands and/or feet.
- Do not exceed the recommended operating pressure.
- Do not install the spare parts of the other manufacturers and changeable nozzles.
Caution:
- When connecting the pneumatic tool to the compressor hose always block the air escape cock.
- Always follow the safety rules when using the compressed air. If revealing any faults immediately discontinue the operation.
Description
The gun for the abrasion of ejector type. It is supposed for dry abrasive jet
cleaning of the surfaces with limited compressed air input and at low work
volume. The tool is ideal for abrasive jet works in the tighten conditions and
in the cases the use of pressure abrasive jet tool is not possible for some
reasons.
The gun may operate with any abrasives (silica sand, fused alumina) for these
operations; it can be also used for metal and stone cleaning, glass decorative
finish.
The gun is equipped with the connecting pipes to connect with the pneumatic
line and the tube for abrasive input. The structure of the receiving nozzle
allows abrasive receiving both from rigid package and envelope (model 110116).
The gun (model 110115) is equipped with its own abrasive tank. The cleaning
process starts after pressing the start lever of the gun.
Operation principle of the gun: exhaustion is created in the vessel behind the
air nozzle.As the result of it abrasive intake through the tube of the tank
takes place. The abrasive gets into the vessel through the corresponding
connecting pipe, then is mixed with the main airflow and taken out through the
nozzle.At directing the air and abrasive tongue cleaning takes place.

Connection and operation
- The equipment has protective coating. Flush the equipment with the proper solution before use.
- The gun is designed for operation with dry and clean air. Taking into account compressed air may contain damp and foreign mixtures causing corrosion and untimely tear and wear of the pneumatic tool it is recommended to use a filter in the air line (moisture and oil separator). The filter is necessary to be installed as closer to the aerograph as it is possible.
- The pressure in the air channel is to be maintained up to 3 – ,4 5 bars. Too low or too high pressure may cause the tool damage and make the quality of cleaning worse.
- Check and if necessary change damaged and worn parts of the tool.
- Make sure the cocking piece and the nozzle are in good working condition.
- Connect the air hose to the air inlet. The recommended hose size is 8 mm.
- Make sure the connections with the air inlet; the tank and the top (for model 110115) are tightened safely.
- Prepare the abrasive. The tool can operate with the abrasive with the particles of ,1 6 mm diameter and less.
- For model 110115 fill up the tank with the abrasive. Do not fill up the tank with less than 2/3 of its volume.
- For model 110116 place the tip of the intake hose in the tank with the abrasive to 2/3 from the length of the intake tip.
- Press the startup cramp to begin cleaning.
- Hold the gun perpendicularly to the atomized surface. The slopes may cause irregular cleaning.
- The recommended distance of the atomization is 200-300 mm.
- Do not forget to switch off the compressed air intake after operation.
Maintenance
- Disconnect the gun form the compressed air system.
- Remove the unused abrasive into the proper container and clean the gun and the tank (model 110115). Blow the gun through with the compressed air.
- Remove the cover of the nozzle and clean it.
- Make sure the nozzle is clean and not damaged. The new nozzle of 10 mm (model 110116) and 6 (model 110115) diameter. Change the nozzle when it is worn more than 1, 5 mm and in case the V abrasive intake is reduced immensely.
- The stud and the air valve are to be lubricated every time before operation.
Troubleshooting
| Fault | Possible cause | Correction |
|---|---|---|
| The abrasive won`t come | Foreign material blocked the intake nozzle | Clean |
through the intake nozzle
The abrasive tube is blocked. If the abrasive tube is blocked it means that
too much abrasive come.| Clean through the tube. Make sure the intake tip is
in the abrasive not more than 2/3 of its length.
The abrasive jet nozzle is worn more than 1,5 mm| Change the nozzle
The air nozzle is worn| Change the nozzle
Bad mounting detail conjugation after assembling.| Carry out a quality
assembling
The abrasive in the feed container has become caked. The abrasive is damp.|
Change the abrasive. Use quality material.
There are leakages in the pneumatic tool, lack of the air.| Remove the
leakages, provide sufficient pneumatic system efficiency.
Transport & Storages
In case of long term work brake it is necessary to keep the tool at the
temperature of +5 … + 25°С and humidity not more than 70%. It is recommended
to pour 10-20 ml of oil into it and blow it through with the minimal pressure.
During transportation and storage of the tool keep it away from damp. The tool
should be kept in a dry, well air conditioned place. Do not expose it to damp,
corrosive and dangerous gases and dust. After the package is unsealed the tool
should be repacked in case of transportation to the workplace or for storage.
