1 Function and identification Function The material squeeze spray gun KS 5F with thread nozzle is especially well-suited for the pro- cessing of highly viscose coating materials such as glue, adhesives, sealing agents or grease. The hand-held spray gun operates based on the airless principle, which means the spray jet is exclusively generated by the fluid pressure, which presses the fluid through a nozzle.

To ensure that there are no particles clogging the nozzles, we recommend to clean the coating material with a material filter positioned in front of the fluid connection (high pressure material filters can be purchased from Krautzberger GmbH). In contrast to compressed air-operated hand-held spray guns, the spray pattern for airless devices can by default not be changed through settings on the nozzle.
This presents the risk of causing a fatal embolism. In addition, there is a risk of poisoning in case of toxic coating or cleaning material. – The pull lever must be locked with the locking lever every time the spray gun is put down! GB–20 mail@krautzberger.com, www.krautzberger.com...
