The solvents used in the gun cleaning machine should be regularly checked to insure that the equipment is not flushed
through with contaminated material. Follow the recommendations of the machine manufacturer.
NOISE LEVENLS
The continuous A-weighted sound pressure level of this spray gun may exceed 85 dB(A) depending on the air cap/nozzle
set-up being used. Sound levels are measured using an impulse sound level meter and analyser, 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.
