The shape of the spray (flat / wide / round) is set on the gun with the models
PILOT WA 7XX using regulating screws.
If the control air through the 3/2-way valve is interrupted, compressed air remain-
ing in the cylinder chamber will first escape. The spring pressure of the piston
spring subsequently pushes the material needle to its original position, closes the
material supply and finally the spray air.
The material flow volume is set with all models via the material pressure and by
limiting the orifice travel of the material needle on the cap (Item 26). The material
flow of the automatic spray gun series
PILOT WA 7XX can also be opened by hand using the pulling rod (Item 27) to
clean, for example, a clogged material nozzle.
The spray guns of the PILOT WA 7XX series can be connected to material pres-
sure tanks and pumping systems. The models PILOT WA 710-U /
WA 730-HVLP-U / WA 750-HVLP
PLUS
connection for paint circulation can be integrated into a system with circulation.
The models PILOT WA 720-HVLP / WA 730 HVLP-U / WA 723 HVLP-K and
WA 733 HVLP-U-K are pure low-pressure spray guns working with a spraying air
pressure of 0.7 bar at an intake air pressure of 4.5 bar.
With the models PILOT WA 740-HVLP
pressure ranges from 3.0 to 3.3 bar for a spraying air pressure of 1.2 to 1.4 bar.

Generally Applicable Safety Precautions
►
All applicable accident prevention rules and regulations as well as other
recognised industrial safety and health rules and regulations must be observed
at all times.
►
Use the spray gun only in well-ventilated rooms. Fire, naked flames and smoking
are strictly prohibited within the working area. WARNING – during the spraying
of flammable materials (e.g. lacquers, adhesives, cleaning agents, etc.), there is
an increased risk to health as well as an increased risk of explosion and fire.
►
You must ensure that the spray gun is properly earthed (grounded) either
separately or in connection with the equipment with which it is being used
(max. resistance 10 6 Ω).
►
Before carrying out maintenance or servicing work, always ensure that the air
and material feed to the spray gun have been de-pressurised. Risk of injury!
►
When spraying materials, do not place your hands or other parts of the body in
front of the pressurised nozzle or the spray gun.
Risk of injury!
►
Never point the spray gun at persons or animals. Risk of injury!
►
Always observe the spraying and safety instructions given by the manufacturers
of the spraying material and the cleaning agent. Aggressive and corrosive
materials in particular can be harmful to health.
►
Always wear hearing protection when using the gun or when in the vicinity of a
gun that is in use. The noise level generated by the spray gun is
approx. 86 dB(A).
►
Exhaust air containing particles (overspray) must be kept away from the working
area and personnel. In spite of these measures, always wear the regulation
breathing masks and protective overalls when using the gun. Airborne particles
represent a serious health hazard!
►
After carrying out assembly or maintenance work, always ensure that all nuts,
bolts and screw connections have been fully tightened before the gun is used.
►
Use only original replacement parts, since WALTHER can only guarantee safe
and fault-free operation for original parts.
