WARNING

The following hazards may occur during the normal use of this equipment. Please read the following chart.

HAZARD

CAUSE

SAFEGUARDS

Fire

Solvents and coatings can be

highly flammable or
combustible,
especially when sprayed.

1. Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep the air

free of accumulations of flammable vapors.

2. Smoking must never be allowed in spray area.

3.

Fire extinguishing equipment must be present in the

spray area.

4. Static discharges must be prevented. Ground (earth)

all conductive objects in the spray area, such as a

cleaning solvent bucket, fire extinguisher, etc.

5. When using solvents for cleaning;

・

Those used for equipment flushing must have a flash

point equal to or greater than that of the coating.

・ Those used

for general cleaning must have flash

points above 100°F(37.8℃).

Inhaling Toxic

Substances

Certain materials may be

harmful if inhaled, or if there
is contact with the skin.

1. Follow the requirements of the Material Safety Data

Sheet supplied by coating material manufa ctur er.

2.

Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep the air

free of accumulations of toxic materials.

3.

Use a mask or respirator whenever there is a chance
of inhaling sprayed materials. The mask must be

compatible with the material being sprayed

and its
concentration. Equipment must be as prescribed by
an industrial hygienist or safety expert, and be NIOSH
approved.

Explosion Hazard-

Incompatible
Materials.

Halogenated hydrocarbon

Solvents- for example:
methylene chloride and 1,1,1,

-Trichloroethane are not
chemically compatible w ith
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.

The T -AGPZ spray gun can not be used with these

solvents.
Aluminum is widely used in other spray
application equipment – such as material pumps,
cups, regulators, valves, etc.
Check all other equipment items before use of these
solvents. Read the label or data sheet for the
material you intend to spray. If in doubt as to where
or not a coating or cleaning material is compatible,
contact your material supplier.

Noise Levels

The continuous A-weighted

sound pressure level of this
spray gun may exceed
85dB(A) depending on the air
cap/nozzle set-up being
used. Sound levels are
measured using an impulse
sound level meter and
analyzer, when the gun is
being used in a normal
spraying application. Details
of actual noise levels
produced by the various air
cap/nozzle set-ups are
available on request.

Wear earplugs when using the spray gun.

Spraying solvent

Pressured air/fluid passage

may be broken when
cleaning or flashing with
solvent.
The solvent may be harmful
if contacted with eyes.

Always wear eye protection when spraying or

cleaning the equipment.

MISUES:

・ All spray guns project particles at high velocity and must never be aimed t any part of body.
・ Never exceed the recommended safe working pressure for any of the equipment used.
・ The fitting of non-recommended or non-orig inal accessories or spare parts may create hazardous

conditions.
・ Before dismantling the equipment for cleaning or maintenance, all pressures, air and material, must be
isolated and released.

Disposal of non-metallic materials must be carried out in an approved manner. Burning may
generate
toxic fumes. The removal of waste solvents and coating materials should be carried out by an

authorized local waste disposal service.

4. Re-pressurize system.

5. Trigger gun (Front CYL air / ON at FULL-AUTO) and repeat procedure until gun and hose are thoroughly

Clean. A SolventSaver™ type hose and gun cleaner which supplies a mixture of air and solvent can be

used to most effectively clean gun and hose internal passages.
See “Accessories” for SolventSaver™. Wipe exterior of gun with a solvent dampened cloth.

6. If a recirculating system is used, it may be necessary to fit a shut off valve in return line to ensure fluid tip
and forward portion of sprayhead passage are properly cleaned when flushed with solvent.

CAUTION

Do not totally submerge gun in solvent. It may damage the inside of the gun with solids.

CAUTION

The air cap can be immersed in solvent for cleaning. If orifices are clogged, use a cocktail stick
or toothpick to remove obstruction. Never use a steel wire or hard instrument. This will damage
air cap and result in a destroyed spray pattern.
