COMPACT AUTO. GUN Operation Manual
Important：Read and follow all instructions and SAFETY PRECAUTIONS before using this equipment.

DESCRIPTION
T-AGPZ GUN is a low flow rate automatic spray gun specifically designed and suited for spraying small objects. This spray gun
also has greatly improved maintenance performance thanks to the use of tungsten carbide in the fluid tip and needle which
dramatically improves durability and anti-clogging properties, along with our industry-first “2 sep triggering system, which cuts
cleaning time during color change to approximately half of what it was.
The compact, lightweight T-AGPZ gun is suitable for installing with robots or automatic spindle machines application, etc.

governing ventilation, fire precautions, operation,
maintenance and housekeeping (in the U.S.,
these are OSHA Sections 1910.94 and1910.107 and NFPA-33).

Noise Levels

The continuous A-weighted soundWear earplugs when using the spray gun.
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 animpulse sound level meter andanalyzer, 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.

Spraying solvent

Pressured air/fluid passage may be
broken when cleaning or flashingwith solvent.
The solvent may be harmful if
contacted with eyes.

Always wear eye protection when spraying or
cleaning the equipment.

Misuse:• 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-original accessories or spare parts may create hazardous conditions.
• Before dismantling the equipment for cleaning or maintenance, all pressures, air and material, must be isolated andreleased.
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.

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.
