Cobra 3C Automatic Spray gun

Important - Read and follow all instructions and Safety Precautions

before using this equipment.

CHARACTERISTICS:

This automatic spray gun complies with ATEX regulations 94/9/EC, protection

level II 2 G X T6, suitable to use in zones 1&2.

This Cobra 3 is a production spray gun suitable for use with automatic and

semi-automatic machines in HVLP or Trans-Tech applications.

Remotely positioned valves (supplied by user) control all air supplies for

atomisation, fan size and triggering.

To handle a wide range of coating materials this spray gun is made from high

grade stainless steel.

IMPORTANT: These Spray guns are suitable for use with both water based

and solvent based coating materials. These guns are not designed for use

with highly corrosive and/or abrasive materials and if used with such materials

it must be expected that the need for cleaning and/or replacement of parts will

can react with the aluminium components used in this gun. The reaction can

become violent and lead to an equipment explosion.

Fluid Tips and Needles are only available in hardened stainless steel.

Pressure feed material supply can be re-circulated or direct.

The needle adjustment knob has a micrometer control allowing fine and

accurate fluid flow control.

Safety Warnings

Fire and explosion

Solvents and coating materials can be highly flammable or combustible when sprayed.

ALWAYS refer to the coating material supplier’s instructions and COSHH sheets

before using this equipment.

Users must comply with all local and national codes of practice and insurance company

requirements governing ventilation, fire precautions, operation and house-keeping of working

areas.

This equipment, as supplied, is NOT suitable for use with Halogenated Hydrocarbons.

Static electricity can be generated by fluid and/or air passing through hoses, by the spraying

process and by cleaning non- conductive parts with cloths. To prevent ignition sources from

static discharges, earth continuity must be maintained to the spray gun and other metallic

equipment used. It is essential to use conductive air and/or fluid hoses.

Personal Protective Equipment

Toxic vapours –When sprayed, certain materials may be poisonous, create irritation or are

otherwise harmful to health. Always read all labels, safety data sheets and follow any

recommendations for the material before spraying. If in doubt, contact your material

supplier.

The use of respiratory protective equipment is recommended at all times. The type of

equipment must be compatible with the material being sprayed.

Always wear eye protection when spraying or cleaning the spray gun.

Gloves must be worn when spraying or cleaning the equipment.

Injection Hazard –Spray from the gun, hose leaks or ruptured components can inject fluid

through skin into the body and cause extremely serious injury including poisoning. GET

IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. INFORM THE DOCTOR WHAT TYPE OF MATERIAL

WAS INJECTED.

Do not put fingers or hand over the spray tip.

Replace all worn, damaged or loose parts immediately.

Training –Personnel should be given adequate training in the safe use of spraying

equipment. Misuse

Never aim a spray gun at any part of the body.

Never exceed the max. Recommended safe working pressure for the equipment.

The fitting of non-recommended or non-original spares may create hazards.

Before cleaning or maintenance, all pressure must be isolated and relieved from the

equipment.

The product should be cleaned using a gun-washing machine. However, this equipment

should not be left inside gun-washing machines for prolonged periods of time.

Noise Levels

The A-weighted sound level of spray guns may exceed 85 dB (A) depending on the set-up

being used. Details of actual noise levels are available on request. It is recommended that

ear protection is worn at all times when spraying.

Important: The spray gun must be earthed to dissipate any electrostatic charges which may be

created by fluid or air flows. This can be achieved through the spray gun mounting, or conductive

air/fluid hoses. Electrical bond from the spray gun to earth should be checked with an Ohm meter.

A resistance of less than 106 Ohms is recommended
