Always refer to the health and safety instructions before carrying out any work on the spray gun
(see § 2 page 8).

11.1. Cleaning the product circuit

• Disconnect the GNM 6080 control module.
• Install a bucket of solvent in place of the paint container.
• Open the recirculation valve to clean the pump.
• Close the recirculation valve and hold down the trigger until clean solvent comes out of the spray
gun nozzle/tip.

11.2. Cleaning the spray gun

The spray gun must be cleaned immediately after use and at the end of the day, as with all paint guns.
The cleaning procedure described below should be followed carefully:
WARNING : It is formally forbidden to plunge the NANOGUN-MV into solvent.
WARNING : Use an appropriate solvent: non-greasy, non-chlorinated and with a high resistivity.
• Step 1: Disconnect the GNM 6080 control module.
• Step 2: Depressurise the spray gun air circuit.
• Step 3: Dump the spray gun paint circuit and rinse with an appropriate solvent
• Step 4: Depressurise the spray gun paint circuit.

control module.
WARNING : Never disassemble the needle assembly when the paint hose contains paint or
solvent.
WARNING : Never soak or immerse the spray gun in solvent.
When cleaning the nozzle/tip, always point the spray nozzle/tip towards the ground
to prevent solvent or paint from flowing into the barrel ducts.
WARNING : After cleaning, the ducts and supply hose must be dried with compressed air to
remove all traces of solvent.
