Information about the operating manual
This manual provides important information on how to work with the device safely and efficiently.
The manual is part of the device and must always be kept in the immediate proximity of the device
so that it is accessible to the personnel at all times.
The personnel must have read and understood this manual before starting any work. Compliance
with all specified safety information and instructions is a basic requirement for safe working conditions.
In addition, the local occupational safety regulations and general safety rules apply for the area of
application of the device.
Due to optional finishing variants, it is possible that the figures shown in this operating manual
deviate from your device.
Information about explosion protection
Many of our competitors have been marking their products with the Ex symbol as a matter of principle for some time now.
At Krautzberger we do not do that.
We engineer and manufacture our products in line with currently applicable directives.
If the labelling on the product is required, it is affixed to the product as the result of the necessary
analysis of ignition sources. If no labelling is affixed, the analysis of ignition sources and previous
experience with the assessment of the suitability of products for use in a potentially explosive area
have shown that the product described in this operating manual does not represent a potential
source of ignition, with the exception of an electrostatic charge.
Taking into account the potential equalisation (provided by proper earth connection), the use in an
area at risk for explosions is permitted in accordance with the currently valid directives.

Table of contents
1Function and identification................................................................................................ 5
The hand-held spray gun Mignon 3 is used for the coating of surfaces with liquid to low-viscose
coating materials. Typical coating materials are: Paints, dyes, adhesives, glazes, enamels,
debonding agents.
The coating material is fed to the hand-held spray gun either under pressure (fluid pressure pumps
or pressurised fluid containers to process large quantities of coating material) or through attached
gravity feed cups or suction cups (for smaller quantities).
Begin spraying process by pulling the trigger. The spraying process is terminated by releasing the
trigger.
The coating material is atomised using compressed air.
The geometry of the spray jet and the sprayed quantity of the coating material can be adjusted:
nSelection of various air and fluid nozzles
nChanging of the atomiser air pressure
nChanging of the coating material pressure
nAdjustment of the needle stroke on the regulator of the hand-held spray gun
nAdjustment of the flat jet regulator on the hand-held spray gun
The hand-held spray gun Mignon 3 is available in different designs:
Supply of coating material:
nvia attached gravity feed cups or suction cups holding from 65 to 300 ml
nvia hose lines on the gun handle
nvia hose lines on the head section
The hand-held spray gun consists of the following materials: Aluminium (head section), stainless
steel (needle and nozzle) as well as brass and plastic (seals).
Gravity feed cups and suction cups are made of aluminium, copper or plastic.
Before starting up the hand-held spray gun, check the compatibility of the device materials
with the coating materials that are used!
