Suggestions & Reminders
1. Always use an EFD piston to make your barrel loading,
dispensing and handling cleaner, safer and more accurate.
Caution: If you dispense watery-thin fluids and choose not to use
SmoothFlow
™
pistons – do not increase vacuum pressure
rapidly and do not tip the barrel. Vacuum may pull liquid into the
air hose; or when tipped, liquid may flow back into the dispenser.
2. Always use new barrels and tips. Carefully dispose of after
use. This procedure ensures maximum cleanliness, pre-
vents contamination and provides proper safety.
3. Do not completely fill the barrel. For most fluids, optimum fill
is a maximum 2/3 of the barrel capacity. For cyanoacrylates
or watery-thin fluids, optimum fill is 1/2 of the barrel capacity.
4. Use the EFD #DS1200 DispenStand
™
to help organize
bench space. Adapter hose support keeps hose off of the
work area. See illustration.
5. Depending on the type of work you are doing, it may be
easier to bring the work to the barrel. Mount the barrel on a
stand such as the EFD #7300A.
6. To ensure smooth fluid flow and to make consistent depos-
its, always have the tip at about a 45° angle to the work
surface.
