Safety Information & Warnings Before operating the Palm Gun, personnel should fully understand the contents, recommendations, and safety notes contained in this manual. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in severe bodily injury or damage to equipment and property. The safety guidelines outlined in this manual are not intended to be all inclusive.
GENERAL OPERATION OVERVIEW Gun Safety Devices: The Palm Gun has three methods of putting the gun in the safe mode. # 1. Air Safety Valve: The gun will not trigger without air pressure to the air cylinder. To engage the air safety valve, turn handle counterclockwise to off position.
Theory of Operation Pushing Trigger: When the gun is triggered, air is directed by the trigger spool valve to the air cylinder. This moves the valving rod rearward from the PCD, past the A and B ports. This allows material to flow through the A and B ports in the mix module. As A and B material enters the center of the mix module, the two streams impinge with each other at high pressure and velocity and start the mixing action.
Pressure Balance Due to the low output capabilities of the Palm Gun, it is important to properly size the A and B material orifices in the mix module. The chart on page 16 can serve as a guide. Many conditions can affect the A & B pressure balance. Material viscosity difference of A &...
Important Tips for Operation Air cap and mating front face of gun must be very clean and free of nicks to insure a good seal. No gasket is used here. Air cap bolts must be tightened with a wrench until tight. Consult your material supplier for the proper cleaning and flushing solvent to use.
Initial Gun Start Up Install Coupling Block / Whip Hose Assembly to Heated Hose Set: Attach Coupling Block / Whip Hose Assembly to existing heated hose bundle using either adapter fittings, or adapter blocks. See page 9. Check to see that A & B material shut off valves are closed. Turn on hose heat and machine heaters.
Normal Gun Start Up Assemble Palm Gun: With air cap, PCD, and mix module removed, use flush tank or solvent squeeze bottle to insure that basket filter ports and ports to mix module seat are clean and open. A drill of the proper diameter can be used to clear build-up that may be present.
Spraying and Normal Operation Note: The Palm Gun comes standard with 3 ft. unheated whip hoses. Their purpose is to limit operator fatigue by providing more flexibility, as well as saving the wear and tear on the more expensive heated whip hose assembly. Due to the small amount of unheated material in the whip hoses, it may take a moment for the heated material to reach the gun and the spray pattern to fully develop.
Gun Shutdown and Cleaning Removing Palm Gun from Coupling Block: Close A & B material shut off valves on coupling block. With pattern air still on, trigger gun repeatedly to relieve pressure in material ports. Turn off pattern air valve. Close air safety valve on coupling block.
Troubleshooting PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION Very slight air leakage at sides of air cap This is normal No action required Valving rod does not acuate No air pressure Connect air supply, open valve Low air pressure Set air pressure to 100-130 psi Rear seal packing nut too tight Loosen packing nut Mist from PCD when not triggered...
