Useful Tips - Sagola Mini XTREME Manual De Instrucciones

The use of solvents and/or detergents that contain halogenated hydrocarbons (trichloroethane,
methyl chloride, etc.), may cause chemical reactions in the unit as well as in its zinc-coated
components (trichloroethane mixed with small amounts of water produces hydrochloric acid).
For this reason, these components may rust and in extreme cases the chemical reaction caused
may be explosive. We recommend you use products that do not contain the aforementioned
components. Do not use acids, soda (alkalis or pickling substances, etc.) for cleaning under
any circumstances.
· Do not use corrosive or abrasive products.
· The gun has been designed for long service and can be used with most products available on
the market. Its use with highly aggressive products will quickly increase the need for maintenance
and spares. If you need to apply special products, please contact
SAGOLA S.A.
· Read and apply all the information, instructions and safety measures
indicated by the manufacturer of the products to be applied (thinners,
etc.) as these may provoke chemical reactions, fires and/or explosions,
or be toxic, irritant or harmful and in all cases dangerous for the health
and personal safety of the user and of other persons nearby (see
chapter on Safety and Health).
- Mix, prepare and filter the product to be applied in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring that any foreign bodies are
prevented from spoiling the quality of finish and application. Should
there be any doubt relating to the purity of the product, its composition,
etc., please contact your supplier.

6. Useful tips

· You are recommended to use the gun with the product regulator open (without removing it
completely from its housing) in order to minimise wear to the fluid tip and needle and to ensure
maximum amplitude.
- Use the lowest spray pressure in the nozzle that allows you to obtain the required finish. Not
all products require the maximum pressure for correct spraying. With a lower pressure, less
air is consumed and there is an additional increase in product transfer.
· The gun leaves the factory ready to spray products correctly with the air nozzle for each
application. It is adjusted to an air inlet pressure of 2 bar to ensure maximum performance.
· Pay special attention to the application speed. The thickness of the film deposited may be
greater than planned if the application speed is low, and the opposite is also true.
· If the thickness of the layer is very thin, this is due to the fact that the air pressure is excessive
for the amount of product being applied. Reduce the air pressure in the gun in order to ensure
that the solvent in the paint does not evaporate during spraying and that this is not dry when
it reaches the surface to be painted. Increase the amount of product, correct its viscosity or
use a larger fluid tip in the gun.
· If the film is very thick or granulated, this is due to the fact that the amount of product to be
applied is excessive for the air pressure used. Decrease the amount of product, reduce its
viscosity or use a smaller fluid tip in the gun.
