WARNING

The following hazards

may

occur during

equipment.

Please

reacl

the

following chant before using this equipment.

Causa

Solvents and

coatings

can

be

highly

flammable

or

combustible

especially

when

sprayed.

Certain materials

may

be

harmful

if

inhaled,

or

if

there

is

with

the

skin.

solvents -for

example;

methylene

com-

patible

w'1th

the

aluminum

that

might

be

used

in

many

system components. The

chemical reaction caused

by

these

solvents reacting

with

aluminum

can

become violent and lead

to

an

equipment

explosion.

Safeguards

Adequate

must

be provided

to

must

be

provided

to

keep

the

air

free

of

materials.

Use

a mask or

respirator

whenever

there

ls a chance

of

inhaling sprayed materials.

The

mask

must

be

compat-

ible

with

the

material being

sprayed

and its concentra-

tion. Equipment

must

be

as

prescribed

by

an industrial

hygienist or

safety

expert,

and

be

NIOSH

approved.

The

OMX

Paint Spray Gun can be used

with

these

solvents.

·However,

aluminum

is

widely

used

tn

other

spray application

equipment,

such

as

material pumps,

cups and regulators,

valves,

etc.

Check

a!!

equipment

items before

use

and

make

sure

they

can

also

be

used

safely

with

these

solvents,

Read

the

label

or

for

the

material

you

intend

to

spray.

If

in

DeVilbiss Air Adjusting Valve

and

Gauge*

This controls the air intet pressure

to

the

gun and directly

affects

paint f!uw and

atomization. The

most

common

cause of
poor gun performance is improper inlet
pressure. Always

~djus'l:

the

inlet pressure

with

the gun

fuliy

triggered.

Note

Local air quality regulations may
limit air cap pressure

to

1 0

PSJG

\0,7 bar). (Use optional air cap
test

kH,

see

Pg. 35,

to

confirm cap

pressure.)

When

the

gun

is

not

triggered,

the

gauge

will

read line pressure.

If

there

are

many

sources

of

pressure drop (small diameter

and long air hoses, restrictive quick con*

nects, etc.)

there

may

be

a large difference

in pressure between

triggered mode

and
non-triggered mode. For optimum gun per·
formance,

always

try to eliminate sources

of

extreme pressure drop.
