CORRECT USE

The spray gun A KA 420 is exclusively manufactured for normal use in surface technology

(for spraying coating substances) or for similar work.

Any other purpose above and beyond this, is considered as incorrect use. We are not liable for any

damage or injury resulting from this; the user will bear sole liability in such cases.

Correct use includes observing operating, maintenance and inspection conditions and regulations

laid down by us.

The spray gun A KA 420 may only be installed, maintained and repaired by personnel familiar with,

and trained to recognize the inherent dangers.

The relevant accident prevention regulations as well as safety and medical rules must be respected.

Unilateral changes to the spray gun will cause us to waive our responsibility for any damage or injury

caused.

The user is responsible for correct attachment/installation.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The spray gun A KA 420 is operated pneumatically.

When switched on, the control air 1opens the fluid valve 2.

When switched off, the fluid valve is closed by the pressure spring 3.

The parts in contact with the fluid are suitable for water-based paints (stainless steel).

The needle 4is completely made of hardened steel.

The valve seat (diffuser) 5and the gun body 6are designed in such a way that a filter element 7of varying

mesh size can be incorporated, and that an additional filter element does not obstruct the flow of fluid through

the spray gun.

The spray gun is fixed centrally at the rear end 8.

The union nut 9belongs to the spray gun.

Fan jet nozzles, pre-atomizer, filter elements and connections should be specified separately by the operator.

START-UP

Fasten spray gun

The threaded connection M 10 must be locked.

The leakage holes should point downwards.

Connect hoses and hose line(s)

Then check for tightness.

Install the in-line filter element

Automatic spray guns are delivered without filter elements.

Filter elements must be installed later (the choice of mesh size depends on spray tip used).

Before removing the valve seat (diffuser) the needle must be brought into the opened

position.

Switching on the control air (Pos. 1, page 3), does this.

Then - Screw out the valve seat (diffuser)

- Put the filter element 3 on to the valve seat (diffuser) 1

Note the mounting position of the profile sealing ring 2

- Install the valve seat (diffuser) with the filter element

The needle is in the opened position

Install the nozzles

- Put the nozzle in the union nut, align at the gun and tighten (pay attention to the tightening

torque).

Do not use any additional seals (The nozzle with pre-atomizer is self-sealing).

With older nozzles without pre-atomizers, a sealing washer should be installed instead of the

pre-atomizer.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING START-UP AND OPERATION

During prolonged operating pauses and/or during shutdown, no energy potential (fluid and/or

air pressure and/or electricity) should be present at the spray gun.

The working area of the spray gun must be protected.

The recommendations of the manufacturer of the fluid should be observed.

OPERATION

Do not exceed the specified technical data (page 4).

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

- The automatic spray gun A KA 420 requires little maintenance.

• Flush thoroughly before operating pauses.

• Drain the condensed water every day from the filter or filter regulator if there is no automatic

water drainage in the compressed air supply to the spray gun.

• Regularly dismantle the filter element and thoroughly clean.

- The cleaning interval depends on the coating substance and must be determined by the

user.

• Check leakage behavior (air or material escaping from the leakage hole) at regular intervals –

e.g. once a week.

- The seals should be replaced if substantial amounts of air and fluid are escaping.

Loosen the sealing plug (cover) with spanner DIN 3116-A20.

By screwing in a tapping screw DIN 7981-ST4,2 the complete bearing bushing. 1and the

grooved ring 2can be simply removed.

The complete bearing bushing 1and the grooved ring 2are installed using the drift 3,

Part nbr. 70641 001002.

Fig. 8

%%

The parts should be lightly greased before assembly.

– We recommend “grease OKS 270” (Tube 100g, Part nbr. 70950 003001).

• The service life of the hose lines is adversely affected, and thus shortened, by surrounding

influences (oxygen in air, temperature, light, etc.), even if correctly handled.

It is recommended that they undergo regular visual checks and occasional checking of

performance.

As a precaution, the hose lines should be replaced by new ones at intervals set by the operator

(after 2 to 3 years).

NEVER dismantle a spray gun that is under pressure.

FOOTNOTE

The spray gun is intended for attachment/installation to/in a machine for surface technology. The

start-up is prohibited until it has been established that the machine in/to, which the spray gun is to be

installed/attached, conforms to the provisions of the EU directive on machines in the version

93/44/EEC.
