1. The gas regulator, flow-meter (located on the gas bottle) and gas solenoid (usually located inside the wire feed unit of the welding machine) must be in good working order andc alibrated at regular intervals. Never operate the Spatter Shield Dispenser with faulty regulators.
2. The weld gun must be clean and free from contamination. It is recommended that when first installing the Spatter Shield Dispenser that a new weld gun nozzle and weld contact tip be used.
3. The gas hoses to the Dispenser must be of good working condition and regularly cleaned to remove foreign matter and excess fluid, which may cause porosity or other weld
defects.
4. Operational gas flow rate is between 12Lpm – 30Lpm and is set with the flow meter.
5. Always install the Spatter Shield Dispenser AFTER the gas solenoid. This may mean relocating the gas solenoid, or taking a gas line from the solenoid outlet to the
gas Dispenser inlet and another from the gas Dispenser outlet back to the wire feed unit. The direction of gas flow through the gas Dispenser unit is marked on the Spatter Shield Probe, between the inlet and outlet nozzles.
6. Always have the gas outlet as an unrestricted connection to the weld gun.
7. Activation of pressure relief valve will indicate faulty or restricted system.
8. Never reverse connect the gas lines to the Spatter Shield Dispenser unit.
9. When working with Spatter Shield Anti-spatter fluid, always wear approved
NOHSC respirator, solvent resistant gloves, eye protection, oil resistant clothing and footwear for high mist concentrations or handling large quantities.
10. Do not overfill the Canister or operate the Dispenser unit when the Canister is empty. When necessary, refill the Canister to the 300ml level marked on it, otherwise empty andrefill with a maximum measured volume of 300ml.
11. The Dispenser must be mounted in the vertical position and kept stationary; it must not be mounted on moving parts.
12. Do not use Spatter Shield 3193 when welding Aluminium.
13. The Dispenser is set for specific levels of diffusible hydrogen. Ensure that the Dispenser being used is preset to the correct level of diffusible hydrogen by the supplier. If necessary obtain expert advice as the incorrect level may affect the mechanical properties of the weld as well as the painting, galvanising and corrosion properties of the component.
14. Never make any adjustments or alterations to the Dispenser as such adjustments cause severe problems or welding defects. The gas hoses to the Dispenser must be disconnected and regularly cleaned to remove foreign matter and excess fluid, which may cause porosity or other weld defects.
15. The weld gun must be clean and free from contamination. It is recommended that when first installing the Spatter Shield Dispenser that a new weld gun nozzle and weld contact tip be used.
16. Never use substitute fluid, Spatter Shield is unique and is not compatible with other anti-spatter fluids and will consequently void your warranty.
17. Use in well-ventilated environment or use appropriate exhaust system to remove fumes from the breathing zone.
18. Read, understand and comply with all directions and warning labels.
19. Additional safety information is on the detailed Material Safety Data Sheet for the fluid and the Spatter Shield Technical Manual.
20. Fit non-return valve after system, if purging with compressed air at gun.
