To better understand this device and to achieve optimum error-free operation for an extended period, please read this operating instruction carefully.
High-performance automatic gun AGMD 2 Safety 2.1 Specified normal use The high-performance automatic spray gun AGMD is designed for processing coatings based on solvents or water. It must only be used to atomise materials that are explicitly listed in the order confirmation. Use of other coating materials can only be considered if there is no possibility of: ...
High-performance automatic gun AGMD 2.3 Basic safety instructions The spray system with the high-performance automatic spray gun AGMD must only be operated by trained personnel. A warning sign must be posted in a conspicuous place close to the spraying area. This warning sign should contain the most important functions and safety measures that users must observe.
High-performance automatic gun AGMD 2.7 Requirement for the entering of spray booths Warning! Danger of inhaling substances hazardous to your health!

High-performance automatic gun AGMD 3 Designs The high-performance automatic spray gun AGMD is available in different designs. They differ in the use of a variety of components and/or in the material flow. Note! Gun heads marked with a “U” have two material lines, allowing coating material to circulate through the head so a colour change can be performed while the gun is closed.
High-performance automatic gun AGMD 4 Installation The high-performance automatic spray gun AGMD is attached to a intermediate plate. The intermediate plate in turn is fastened to an adapter. The adapter is attached to the movement device (robot or hoisting device) or to a tripod. All compressed air and material lines are connected to the adapter.

High-performance automatic gun AGMD 5. Fasten the high-performance automatic spray gun AGMD and the “pointed tapping screw” on the intermediate plate with a size 3 hexagon socket head wrench. 4.4 Adjusting the jet geometry Note! The gun has a variable jet geometry to produce a round or flat spray pattern. You should only work with clean, dry, filtered, oil-free air.
High-performance automatic gun AGMD 5 Maintenance Note! The air cap can be replaced on the high-performance automatic spray gun AGMD without removing it from the system. For all other maintenance jobs, the high-performance automatic spray gun AGMD must be removed from the intermediate plate and replaced by a new one. 5.1 Required tools and lubricants The following are required for installation and removal: ...
High-performance automatic gun AGMD 5.3 Removing the high-performance automatic spray gun AGMD Note!

High-performance automatic gun AGMD 7.3 Spare parts for special applications 7.3.1 AGMD-243 piston (h ard anodised aluminium) As an alternative to piston AGMD-243-1 (item 14), piston made hard anodised aluminium can also be used. Instead of the two lip seals, it has O-rings AGMD-120 and AGMD-121.
High-performance automatic gun AGMD 7.3.3 AGMD-421-FZ paint needle (coated) The coated paint needle AGMD-421-FZ was developed as an alternative to paint needle AGMD-420 (item 10). On the basis of using UV paint it features a longer service life, and because of its extremely smooth surface, it causes much less wear on the needle AGMD-405-H and AGMD-405-H-C.
