Notes; Cleaning And Maintenance - Westfalia 40 32 20 Instruction Manual

5. Press the trigger (4) to operate the air wash gun and to distribute the spraying
material. Release the trigger to stop working.
6. Turn the adjusting nut (2) clockwise or counter clockwise to change the
spraying strength and to adjust it according to the respective application.

Notes

Perform test runs on some test pieces. This way you can determine the
optimum spraying strength resp. the different jet adjustments.
Increase the distance to the object to be sprayed in order to achieve a wider
atomisation when spraying. By doing so, a more evenly spraying result can be
obtained.
Keep the suction opening clean at all times.
Do not process any abrasive, acid and fuel-containing materials.
Only use solvent-resistant and pressure-resistant air hoses (min. 10 bar).

Cleaning and Maintenance

To ensure proper functionality and a long lifetime, diligent maintenance is
essential.
Before cleaning or maintaining, first disconnect the air wash gun from the air
supply.
Depending on the sprayed material, rinse the air wash gun with thinner or
cleaning agents after use. By spraying a small amount of detergent, the used
suction hose, the nozzle and the spraying tube can be cleaned from inside.
Do not use abrasive or aggressive chemicals such as benzene or thinner to
clean the housing of the tool which may dissolve plastic parts.
For operating pneumatic tools, clean air is required. Corrosion residues, dust
and dirt from the pneumatic pipes reduce the efficiency of the tool and will
cause technical problems. An upstream maintenance unit consisting of filter
and pressure regulator valve removes moisture and dirt from the air and
controls the working pressure. Do not use an oil-fog lubricator.
If possible, only use compressed air hoses for the air supply that previously
have not been used with other air tools which required an oil-fog lubrication
system.
