- T-AFPV COMPACT AUTO GUN Operation Manual [ Japanese ]
Important：Read and follow all instructions and SAFETY PRECAUTIONS before using this equipment.
DESCRIPTION
T-AFPV GUN has been developed for coating small parts and less coating. This gun is smaller and lighter, which can achieve
high transfer with high atomization with less air consumption.
The small, lightweight T-AFPV gun is suitable for installing to robots or automatic machines.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This manual contains important information that ALL users should know and understand BEFORE using this equipment. This
information relates to USER SAFETY and PREVENTING EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS.
To help you recognize this information, we use the following terms to draw your attention to certain equipment labels and
portions of this manual. Pay special attention to any label or information that is highlighted by one of these terms:
WARNING
Important information to alert you to a situation that might cause serious injury or loss of life if instructions
are not followed.
CAUTION Important information that tells how to prevent damage to equipment.
NOTE Information that you should pay special attention to.
WARNING
The following hazards may occur during the normal use of this equipment. Please read the following chart.
HAZARD CAUSE SAFEGUARDS
Fire
Solvents and coatings can be highly
flammable or combustible, especially
when sprayed.
1. Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep the air
free of accumulations of flammable vapors.
2. Smoking must never be allowed in the spray area.
3. Fire extinguishing equipment must be present in the
spray area.
4. Static discharges must be prevented. Ground(earth)
all conductive objects in the spray area, such as a
cleaning solvent bucket, fire extinguisher, etc.
5. When using solvents for cleaning:
• Those used for equipment flushing must have a
flash point equal to or greater than that of the
coating.
• Those used for general cleaning must have flash
points above 100°F (37.8°C).
Inhaling Toxic Substances
Certain materials may be harmful if inhaled
or if there is contact with the skin.
1. Follow the requirements of the Material Safety Data
Sheet supplied by coating material manufacturer.
2. Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep the air
free of accumulations of toxic materials.
3. Use a mask or respirator whenever there is a
chance of inhaling sprayed materials. The mask
must be coMPatible with the material being sprayed
and its concentration. Equipment must be as
prescribed by an industrial hygienist or safety expert,
and be NIOSH approved.
Explosion Hazard –
IncoMPatible Materials
Halogenated hydrocarbon Solvents- for
example:
methylene chloride and
1,1,1-Trichloroethane are not chemically
coMPatible with the aluminum that might
be used in many system components. The
chemical reaction caused by these
solvents reacting with aluminum can
become violent and lead to an equipment
explosion.
The T-AGB spray gun can be used with these solvents.
However, aluminum is widely used in other spray
application equipment – such as material pumps, cups,
regulators, valves, etc. Check all other equipment items
before use of these solvents. Read the label or data
sheet for the material you intend to spray. If in doubt as
to where or not a coating or cleaning material is
coMPatible, contact your material supplier.
General Safety Improper operation or maintenance may
create a hazard.
Operators should be given adequate training in the safe
use and maintenance of the equipment (in accordance
with the requirements of NFPA-33, Chapter 15 in U.S.).
Users must comply with all local and national codes of
practice and insurance coMPany requirements
governing ventilation, fire precautions, operation,
maintenance and housekeeping (in the U.S., these are
OSHA Sections 1910.94 and 1910.107 and NFPA-33).
Noise Levels
The continuous A-weighted sound pressure
level of this spray gun may exceed
85dB(A) depending on the air cap/nozzle
set-up being used. Sound levels are
measured using an impulse sound level
meter and analyzer, when the gun is being
used in a normal spraying application.
Details of actual noise levels produced by
the various air cap/nozzle set-ups are
available on request.
Wear earplugs when using the spray gun.

HAZARD CAUSE SAFEGUARDS
Spraying solvent
Pressured air/fluid passage may be broken
when cleaning or flashing with solvent.
The solvent may be harmful if contacted
with eyes.
Always wear eye protection when spraying or cleaning
the equipment.
Misuse:
• All spray guns project particles at high velocity and must never be aimed at any part of body.
• Never exceed the recommended safe working pressure for any of the equipment used.
• The fitting of non-recommended or non-original accessories or spare parts may create hazardous conditions.
• Before dismantling the equipment for cleaning or maintenance, all pressures, air and material must be isolated and released.
Disposal of non-metallic materials must be carried out in an approved manner. Burning may generate toxic fumes.
The removal of waste solvents and coating materials should be carried out by an authorized local waste disposal service.

INSTALLATION
Figure 1. Dimensions
Figure 2. Installation
Mount the gun with the stud (18) or tighten with Manifold (19) 8.2mm whole.
CAUTION:
The air supplied to the gun should be clean air that removed any impurities.
To circulate the paint for Non-circulate body, open the passage for paint circulation at Gun
Body (5) and remove the plug of Manifold (19), then install the fluid nipple.
OPERATION
1. Mix, prepare and strain the coating material to be sprayed according to paint manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Adjust the CYL air at 0.34~0.49MPa. (3.4~4.9 bar)
3. Turn Adjusting Screw (17) counter-clockwise 3.5 turns from fully closed position and fix with Lock Nut (16). This makes the
Needle fully opened.
4. Adjust CAP/FAN air at 0.15MPa(1.5 bar).
5. Adjust fluid air at about 0.07MPa~0.1MPa.
6. Turn on CYL air and test spray. Adjust fluid and air pressure until desired pattern is obtained. Control fluid pressure at
source supply. Always attempt to keep CAP pressure as low as possible to minimize overspray.
WARNING
Risk of injury. Equipment and fluid may be under pressure. Pressure in the system must be relieved before beginning the
cleaning procedure and before replacing any parts. Follow the procedures in the literature provided with the system.
CLEANING
1. Relieve air pressure from pressure tank. Carefully follow instructions in bulletin sent with tank.
2. Replace material in container with a suitable solvent.
3. Re-pressurize system.
4. Trigger gun and repeat procedure until gun and hose are thoroughly clean. A SolventSaver™ type hose and gun cleaner
which supplies a mixture of air and solvent can be used to most effectively clean gun and hose internal passages. See
Accessories for SolventSaver™. Wipe exterior of gun with a solvent dampened cloth.

5. If a recirculating system is used, it may be necessary to fit a shut off valve in return line to ensure fluid tip and forward
portion of sprayhead passage are properly cleaned when flushed with solvent.
CAUTION
Do not totally submerge gun insolvent. It may damage the inside of the gun with solids.
CAUTION
The air cap can be immersed in solvent for cleaning. If orifices are clogged, use a cocktail stick or toothpick to remove
obstruction. Never use a steel wire or hard instrument. This will damage air cap and result in a destroyed spray pattern.

SERVICE CHECK
problem Cause Correction
Will not spray. No pressure to gun.
Piston stops moving.
Check air and material lines.
Check CYL air pressure.
Improper spray pattern.
A. Gun not adjusted properly.
A, B. Material build up on the air cap (2)or fluid
tip (3).
A. Re-adjust. See Operation Section.
A, B. Clean the air cap or fluid tip. See
Preventive Maintenance.
Note
To determine where the material build up is, rotate the air cap 180°and test spray. If the pattern
stays in the same position, the condition is caused by material build up on the fluid tip. If the pattern
changes with air cap movement, the buildup is in the air cap.
C, D. Wrong material or material too thick.
Insufficient material or atomizing air
pressure too high.
C, D. Adjust material pressure or thin material.
Increase material or reduce atomizing
air pressure.
Jerky or fluttering spray
1. Insufficient material in the tank or an obstruction
in the line.
2. Gun material passage plugged.
3. Worn Needle Seal Kit (6).
4. Loose or damaged Fluid Tip (3).
1. Fill tank or clear obstruction.
2. Clean.
3. Replace or tighten.
