Intended Use Use of Nordson equipment in ways other than those described in the documentation supplied with the equipment may result in injury to persons or damage to property.
Model A7AA Air Assisted Airless Gun Personal Safety To prevent injury follow these instructions. Do not operate or service equipment unless you are qualified. Do not operate equipment unless safety guards, doors, or covers are intact and automatic interlocks are operating properly. Do not bypass or disarm any safety devices.
Model A7AA Air Assisted Airless Gun High-Pressure Fluids High-pressure fluids, unless they are safely contained, are extremely hazardous.

It is also suitable for use in heated systems up to 92 _C (200 _F) or ambient fluid systems. Due to its fast trigger cycle capability, the A7AA may be used for ultra high speed applications as well as common product finishing. Its simple design and rugged construction provide for long service life and easy field maintenance.
Model A7AA Air Assisted Airless Gun Theory of Operation In normal operation, the air is turned on just before fluid exits the nozzle and is turned off just after the fluid stops flowing. This overlap is designed to eliminate gun spitting.
See Figure 3. 3. Installation NOTE: The A7AA can be mounted to a 12.7 mm (0.5 in.) round bar. The gun or the mounting bar should be mounted in such a way as to allow for easy removal for service. Slide the mounting bar through the mounting hole on the gun body (1), then tighten the square-head screw (2).
