WARNING/CAUTION appropriate precautions may result in injury or death, and/or serious damage to the product.

Fire and Explosion

1. Keep fire off your paint spray work area.
● Paint is inflammable, causing fire and explosion. To conduct spray work, select a wide, well-ventilated place.
● Be sure to keep an inflammable object (cigarette, ignition equipment, electric equipment, etc.) off your spray work area.
● To clean spray gun, use a solvent whose flash point is equivalent to, or higher than that of the paint being used. Using a general cleaning solvent causes a fire. Use a cleaning
solvent with 37.8℃ or higher flash point.
● Provide a fire extinguisher in your spray work area.
2. Do not use a halogenated hydrocarbon solvent.
● Chemical reaction with solvent causes spray gun body (aluminum parts) to crack or melt.
● Incompatible solvent: methyl chloride, ethyl chloride, methylene dichloride, ethylene dichloride, carbon tetrachloride, trichloroethylene, 1.1.1 trichloroethane, etc.
● Before using a special paint or paint thinner, thoroughly check if the material is compatible or not.
3. Connect ground cable.
● Ground spray gun securely. For example, use hose with ground wire.
● If spray gun is not securely grounded, it generates sparks of static electricity, causing a fire and explosion.
Protection of Human Body
1. Ensure thorough ventilation.
● To conduct spray work, be sure to select a well ventilated place with a booth.
● If you conduct spray work in an airtight room or insufficiently ventilated place, you may suffer poisoning caused by organic solvent, or a risk factor of flammability will increase.
2. Wear appropriate clothes and protective gear.
● During spray and cleaning work, always wear appropriate clothes and protective gear (goggles, G-7-04 mask, and gloves).
● Some kinds of paints cause a hazard, if the paint touches eyes or skin. Check the paint and solvent being used. During spray and cleaning work, wear appropriate clothes and
gloves.
3. We recommend users to wear ear plugs for health and safety.
● The product may produce a noise level of 80 dB (A) or higher depending on the use condition or work environment. ( ):Dimension of FA210
4. Take a rest if you get tired during spray work.
● Pulling the trigger many times during long-hours of work may cause tendovaginitis.
Improper Handing of Equipment 2. Maintenance and Inspection
1. Do not direct spray gun toward people. 1. To clean spray gun body, wipe dust off body with a cloth damped with a solvent. Never soak the entire spray gun in a solvent.
● Never attempt to spray paint toward people or animals. 2. After disassembling air cap set (1) and fluid nozzle (2), clean with a brush. When disassembling fluidnozzle (2), be careful not to damage it.
● Failure to observe this instruction may result in inflammations of eyes and skin, or other hazard to human body. 3. To clean paint circuit, spray a small quantity of solvent in the same manner as spray work.
2. Use spray gun within the maximum operating pressure.
4. Be sure not to damage each hole of air cap set (1) and center hole and tip periphery of fluid nozzle (2).
● Never use spray gun at a pressure higher than the maximum operating pressure (0.69 MPa).
3. During interruption of work, release compressed air. 5. Apply grease to packing of piston part, and apply a small quantity of oil (non-silicone oil) to needle valve sliding part.
● Before cleaning, disassembly or maintenance/inspection of spray gun, or during a halt of spray work, be sure to release compressed air from spray gun. 6. Fix fluid nozzle (2). When removing, proceed with work under the condition of removing needle valve ass’y (7) or pulling it in
● If compressed air is remaining in spray gun, it may accidentally work, or cleaning solvent may spatter, causing a hazard to human body. order to protect seat part.
4. Do not touch the tip of the needle valve and paint nozzle during maintenance.
● The tip of the needle valve and paint nozzle is very sharp and may cause an injury.
