FLG5 – Pressure-Feed Spray Gun

Important

Read and follow all instructions and Safety warnings before using this

equipment

Description

The FLG5 pressure feed Spraygun is fitted with a 1.4mm Nozzle for use with common coating materials. A 1.1mm Nozzle and Needle is available as an alternative. The FLG5 Spraygun is approved to ATEX regulations 94/9/EC, protection level;

II 2 G X. Suitable for use in Zones 1 and 2

Important: These spray guns are suitable for use with both water-based and solvent-

based coating materials. The design uses EPA compliant atomising (Devilbiss TransTech®) technology to reduce overspray and improve coating efficiency. Nozzles and needles are manufactured in stainless steel. These guns are not designed for use with highly corrosive and/or abrasive materials and if used with such materials it must be expected that the need for cleaning and/or replacement of parts will be increased. If there is any doubt regarding the suitability of a specific material contact your local Distributor or ITW Finishing direct.

SAFETY WARNINGS

Fire and explosion

Solvents and coating materials can be highly flammable or

combustible when sprayed. ALWAYS

refer to the coating material suppliers instructions and COSHH sheets before using this equipment

Users must comply with all local and national codes of practice and insurance company

requirements governing ventilation, fire precautions, operation and house-keeping of working areas

This equipment, as supplied, is NOT Halogenated Hydrocarbons

cleaning non- conductive parts with cloths. To prevent ignition sources from static discharges, earth continuity must be maintained to the spraygun and other metallic equipment used. It is essential to use conductive air and/or fluid hoses.

suitable for use with

Static Electricity can be generated by fluid and/or air passing through hoses, by the spraying process and by

Personal Protective

Equipment

Toxic vapours – When sprayed, certain materials may be poisonous, create irritation or be

otherwise harmful to health. Always read all labels and safety data sheets for the material before spraying and follow any recommendations. If In

Doubt, Contact Your Material Supplier

The use of respiratory protective equipment is recommended at all times. The type of equipment must be compatible with the

material being sprayed.

Always wear eye protection when spraying or cleaning the spraygun

Gloves must be worn when spraying or cleaning the equipment

Training – Personnel should be given adequate training in the safe use of spraying equipment.

Misuse

Never aim a spraygun at any part of the body

Never exceed the max. recommended safe working pressure for the equipment

The fitting of non-recommended or nonoriginal spares may create hazards

Before cleaning or maintenance, all pressure must be isolated and relieved from the equipment

The product should be cleaned using a gun washing machine. However, this equipment should not be left inside gun washing machines for prolonged periods of time.

Noise Levels

The A-weighted sound level of sprayguns may exceed 85 dB (A) depending on the set-up being used. Details of actual noise levels are available on request. It is recommended that ear protection is worn at all times when spraying.

Operating

Spray Equipment using high pressures may be subject to recoil forces. Under certain circumstances, such forces could result in repetitive strain injury to the operator.

Installation

Important: To ensure that this equipment

reaches you in first class condition, protective coatings have been used. Flush

the equipment through with a suitable solvent before use.

1. Attach air hose to connector (19). Recommended hose size 8 mm bore.

Operation

1. Mix coating material to manufacturers instructions.

2. Turn needle adjusting screw (18) clockwise to prevent movement.

3. Turn spreader valve (10) counterclockwise to fully open.

4. Adjust inlet air pressure (For recommended figures see Specifications) at the gun inlet with the gun triggered. (pressure gauge attachment shown under Accessories is recommended for this).

5. Turn needle adjusting screw counter clockwise until first thread shows.

6. Test spray. If the finish is too dry reduce airflow by reducing air inlet pressure or by the Airflow Valve (22). Screw the Adjusting Knob in to reduce pressure.

The hose must be conductive and electrical bond from the spraygun to earth should be checked with an ohmeter. A resistance of less than 10 Ohms is recommended.

2. Attach fluid supply hose to Fluid Inlet (28).

7. If finish is too wet reduce fluid flow by turning needle screw (18) clockwise or reducing the fluid pressure. If atomisation is too coarse, increase inlet air pressure. If too fine reduce inlet pressure.

8. The pattern size can be reduced by turning adjusting valve (10) clockwise.

9. Hold gun perpendicular to surface being sprayed. Arcing or tilting may result in uneven coating.

10. The recommended spray distance is 150-200 mm (6”-8”).

11. Spray edges first. Overlap each stroke a minimum of 50%. Move gun at a constant speed.

12. Always turn off air and fluid supply and relieve pressure when gun is not in use.

Preventative Maintenance

1. Turn off air and coating supply and relieve pressure in the supply lines, or if using QD system, disconnect from airline and fluid line.

2. Remove air cap (1) & (2) and clean. If any of the holes in the cap are blocked with coating material use a toothpick to clean. Never use metal wire which

could damage the cap and produce distorted spray patterns.

3. Ensure the tip of the nozzle (3) is clean and free from damage. Build up of dried paint can distort the spray pattern.

4. Lubrication – stud (24), needle (16) and air valve (13) should be oiled each day.

Replacement of Parts

Nozzle (3) and Needle (16) – Remove

parts in the following order: 18, 17, 16, 1, 2 and 3. Check condition of Nozzle Seal (4) and replace if necessary. Replace any worn or damaged parts and re-assemble in reverse order. Recommended tightening torque for nozzle (3) 16-20 Nm (150-180 lbf in).

Packing – Remove parts 18, 17, 16. Unscrew Packing Nut (7). Remove packing (6). Fit new packing (6) and Nut (7). Re-assemble parts 16, 17, and 18 and tighten Packing Nut (7) with spanner sufficient to seal but to allow free movement of needle. Lubricate with gun oil.

Air Valve Seal Kit K-5040

1. Remove Adjusting Knob (18), Spring (17), and Needle (16).

2. Loosen Housing (15).

3. Remove Housing (15) and Airvalve Spring (14).

4. Remove Spindle (13).

5. Using Service Tool (40), engage groove behind the Valve Seat (12) and remove Valve Seat.

6. Push out the Front Airvalve Seal (11).

7. Turn the Gun upside down and let the Seal fall out.

8. Fit New Front Seal (11) to Service Tool.

9. Fit new Seal to gunbody and press

firmly to ensure Seal is engaged.

10. Fit New Valve Seat (12) to Service Tool and fit Valve Seat into Gunbody.

11. Remove Rear Airvalve Seal (11) from housing (15) with a hooked instrument.

12. Fit new Seal to Service Tool and Fit Seal to Housing (15).

13. Replace Spindle (13).

14. Replace Valve Spring (14), screw in Housing (15) and tighten.

15. Screw reverse end of Service tool into housing until fully engaged. Tighten by hand to seat the Valve Seat. Remove tool.

16. Fit Needle (16), Spring (17) and Knob (18).

17. Adjust Needle Packing (7) with Spanner sufficient to seal but to allow free movement of needle. Lubricate with gun oil.

Spreader valve (10) – Caution: always ensure that the valve is in the fully open position by turning screw fully counterclockwise before fitting to body.
