DANGER!

When using the equipment, a number of safety
precautions must be observed to avoid injuries
and damage. Please read the complete operating
instructions and safety information with due care.
Keep these operating instructions in a safe place
so that the information is available at all times. If
you give the equipment to any other person, hand
over these operating instructions and the safety
information as well. We cannot accept any liability
for damage or accidents which arise due to
failure to follow these instructions and the safety
information.

1. Safety information

DANGER!
Read all the safety information and
instructions. Failure to adhere to the safety

information and instructions set out below
may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious
injury. Keep all the safety information and

instructions in a safe place for future use.

General safety information for power tools

The term „power tool“ used in the safety
regulations refers to power tools operated from
the mains power supply (with a power cable) and
to battery operated power tools (without a power
cable).

1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of

fl ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can

cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodifi ed plugs

and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or

grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There

is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the

cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors,

use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for

outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.

f) If operating a power tools in a damp

location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply.

Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.

3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and

use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the infl uence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of

inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment.

Always wear eye protection. Protective

equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure

the switch is in the off -position before
connecting to power source and/or
BATTERY pack, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your fi nger on

the switch or energising power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench

before turning the power tool on. A wrench

or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times. This enables

better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose

clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair

can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection

of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of these devices can reduce dust

related hazards.

h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent

use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause

severe injury within a fraction of a second.

4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the

correct power tool for your application.

The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch

does not turn it on and off . Any power tool

that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power

source and/or remove the battery pack,
if detachable, from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach

of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools and accessories.

Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may aff ect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many

accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and

tool bits etc., in accordance with
these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations diff erent
from intended could result in a hazardous

situation.

h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces

dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do
not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.

5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specifi ed

by the manufacturer. A charger that is

suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of fi re when used with another
battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with specifi cally

designated battery packs. Use of any other

battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fi re.

c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it

away from other metal objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fi re.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be

ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, fl ush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the

battery may cause irritation or burns.

e) Do not use a BATTERY pack or tool that

is damaged or modifi ed. Damaged or

modifi ed batteries may exhibit unpredictable
behaviour resulting in fi re, EXPLOSION or
risk of injury.

f) Do not expose a BATTERY pack or tool to

fi re or excessive temperature. Exposure to

fi re or temperature above 266°F (130°C) may
cause explosion.

g) Follow all charging instructions and do

not charge the BATTERY pack or tool
outside the temperature range specifi ed
in the instructions. Charging improperly or

at temperatures outside the specifi ed range
may damage the BATTERY and increase the
risk of fi re.

6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a

qualifi ed repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will

ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.

b) Never service damaged BATTERY packs.

Service of BATTERY packs should only be

performed by the manufacturer or authorized
service providers.

Additional safety instructions

We pay a great deal of attention to the design
of every battery pack to ensure that we supply
you with batteries which feature maximum
power density, durability and safety. The battery
cells have a wide range of safety devices.
Each individual cell is initially formatted and its
electrical characteristic curves are recorded.
These data are then used exclusively to be able
to assemble the best possible battery packs.

Despite all the safety precautions, caution
must always be exercised when handling
batteries. The following points must be
obeyed at all times to ensure safe use.
Safe use can only be guaranteed if
undamaged cells are used. Incorrect
handling can cause cell damage.

Caution! Analyses confi rm that incorrect use and

poor care are the main causes of the damage
caused by high performance batteries.

Information about the battery

1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless
tool is not charged. The battery pack has to
be charged before you use the tool for the fi rst
time.

2. For optimum battery performance avoid low
discharge cycles. Charge the battery pack
frequently.

3. Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally
at 59°F (15°C) and charged to at least 40%.

4. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural
ageing process. The battery pack must be
replaced at the latest when its capacity
falls to just 80% of its capacity when new.
Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are
no longer capable of meeting the high power
requirements and therefore pose a safety risk.

5. Do not throw battery packs into an open fi re.
There is a risk of explosion!

6. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to
fi re.

7. Do not exhaustively discharge batteries.
Exhaustive discharge will damage the battery
cells. The most common cause of deep
discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of
partly discharged batteries. Stop working as
soon as the performance of the battery falls
noticeably or the electronic protection system
triggers. Place the battery pack in storage
only after it has been fully charged.

8. Protect batteries and the tool from
overloads. Overloads will quickly result
in overheating and cell damage inside the
battery housing without this overheating
actually being apparent externally.

9. Avoid damage and shocks. Replace
batteries which have been dropped from
a height of more than one meter or which
have been exposed to violent shocks without
delay, even if the housing of the battery pack
appears to be undamaged. The battery cells
inside the battery may have suff ered serious
damage. In this respect, please also read the
waste disposal information.

10. If the battery pack suff ers overloading and
overheating, the integrated protective cut­off will switch off the equipment for safety
reasons. Caution! Do not press the ON/OFF
switch any more if the protective cut-off has
actuated. This may damage the battery.

11. Use only original battery packs. The use
of other batteries may result in injuries,
explosion and a fi re risk.

12. Protect your rechargeable battery against
moisture, rain and high humidity. Moisture,
rain and high humidity can cause dangerous
cell damage. Never charge or work with
batteries which have been exposed to
moisture, rain or high humidity – replace them
immediately.

13. If your equipment is fi tted with a detachable
battery, remove the battery for safety reasons
after you have fi nished your work

Information on chargers and the charging
process

1. Please check the data marked on the rating
plate of the battery charger. Be sure to
connect the battery charger to a power supply
with the voltage marked on the rating plate.
Never connect it to a diff erent mains voltage.

2. Protect the battery charger and its cable from
damage and sharp edges. Have damaged
cables repaired without delay by a qualifi ed
electrician.

3. Keep the battery charger, batteries and the
cordless tool out of children‘s reach.

4. Do not use damaged battery chargers.

5. Do not use the supplied battery charger to
charge other cordless tools.

6. In heavy use the battery pack will become
warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to room
temperature before commencing with the
charging.

7. Do not over-charge batteries. Do not

EN

exceed the maximum charging times. These
charging times apply only to discharged
batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged
or partly charged battery pack will result in
over-charging and cell damage. Do not leave
batteries in the charger for days on end.

8. Never use or charge batteries if you

suspect that the last time they were
charged was more than 12 months
previously. There is a high probability

that the battery pack has already suff ered
dangerous damage (exhaustive discharge).

9. Charging batteries at a temperature below
50°F (10°C) will cause chemical damage to
the cell and may cause a fi re.

10. Do not use batteries which have heated
during the charging process, as the battery
cells may have suff ered dangerous damage.

11. Do not use batteries which have suff ered
curvature or deformation during the charging
process or which show other non-typical
symptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking,…)

12. Never fully discharge the battery pack
(recommended depth of discharge max.
80%) A complete discharge of the battery
pack will lead to premature ageing of the
battery cells.

13. Never charge the batteries unsupervised.

Protection from environmental infl uences

1. Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety
goggles.

2. Protect your cordless tool and the battery
charger from moisture and rain. Moisture
and rain can cause dangerous cell damage.

3. Do not use the cordless tool or the battery
charger near vapors and infl ammable liquids.

4. Use the battery charger and cordless tools
only in dry conditions and an ambient
temperature of 50°F to 104°F (10°C to 40°C).

5. Do not keep the battery charger in places
where the temperature is liable to reach over
104°F (40°C). In particular, do not leave the
battery charger in a car that is parked in the
sunshine.

6. Protect batteries from overheating.
Overloads, over-charging and exposure to
direct sunlight will result in overheating and
cell damage. Never charge or work with
batteries which have been overheated –
replace them immediately if possible.

7. Storage of batteries, battery chargers
and cordless tools. Store the charger and
your cordless tool only in dry places with an
ambient temperature of 50°F to 104°F (10°C

to 40°C). Store the lithium-ion rechargeable
battery in a cool and dry place at 50°F to 68°F
(10°C to 20°C). Protect them from humidity
and direct sunlight! Place only fully charged
batteries in storage (charged at least 40%).

8. Prevent the lithium-ion battery pack from
freezing. Battery packs which were stored
below 32°F (0°C) for more than 60 minutes
must be disposed of.

9. When handling batteries beware of
electrostatic charge: Electrostatic discharges
cause damage of the electronic protection
system and the battery cells. Avoid
electrostatic charging and never touch the
battery poles.

6. Operation

Warning!

Follow the safety precautions provided by the
manufacturer of the material you want to spray.
Use suitable face masks, gloves and protective
clothing.

6.1 Material preparation

The paint usually has to be thinned before it can
be used in the spray gun. Instructions on how to
thin the paint for spraying are not always printed
on the paint tin. You should use the viscosity table
as a guide (viscosity = consistency of the paint).

6.1.1 Measuring the viscosity (Fig. 5)

1. Mix the material thoroughly before measuring.

2. Completely immerse the viscosity cup (8) into
the material.

3. Then lift the viscosity cup (8) out of the mixture
and use a stopwatch to measure the time it
takes for all of the material to fl ow through the
cup. As soon as the continuous fl ow out of the
bottom is interrupted, stop the timer. Repeat
until you have the viscosity you need.

This is the „Draining time in seconds“. (See 10.
Viscosity Table)

6.1.2 Nozzle diameter

The size of the nozzle and fl uid needle to be
used depends on the viscosity of the material.
Depending on the viscosity, use the 2.0 mm
dia. nozzle (colour: red, for lower viscosity) or
the 2.5 mm dia. nozzle (colour: black, for higher
viscosity). The fl uid needle in the gun is suitable
for both nozzle diameters.

6.2 Working with the paint spray gun (Fig. 6)
Important! Cover all surfaces which must be

protected from the spray, even areas which
are further away from the place where you are
working. A fi ne mist from the spray gun can
spread to areas in the wider surroundings indoors
and outdoors, and the material will be deposited
on surfaces there.

Unscrew the container (12) from the paint

•

spray gun.
Align the material tube (11) for the object you

•

are working on.
Spaying on horizontal objects: Rotate the

•

material tube (11) towards the front.
Spaying on raised objects: Rotate the

•

material tube (11) towards the rear.
Never continue spraying until the container

•

is completely empty. If the material tube no
longer reaches the spray material, the spray
flow will be interrupted and the coverage on
the surface will be uneven.
Once you have performed the viscosity

•

measurement as described in 6.1.1, place
the container (12) on some paper, pour in the
material you have prepared and tightly screw
the container (12) back into the paint spray
gun.
The paint spray gun is allowed to be placed

•

only on a clean, even surface. Otherwise it
might tip over.
After each cleaning (see 7.1) or change of fan

•

pattern (see 6.3), tighten the air cap retaining
ring (1) to prevent material from leaking out
between the air cap retaining ring and the air
cap (2).

6.3 Adjusting the fan pattern (Fig. 7)

You can set the paint spray gun to produce three
diff erent fan patterns to suit your needs.
Loosen the air cap retaining ring (1) and rotate
the air cap (2) to the desired position. Re-tighten
the air cap retaining ring.

Selecting the fan pattern:

A: vertical fan

-> for horizontal surfaces

B: horizontal fan

-> for vertical surfaces

C: Round cone

-> for corners, edges and surfaces that are

diffi cult to access

Risk of injury!

Never press the trigger while you are adjusting
the jet.

6.4 Adjusting the material fl ow (Fig. 8)

You can rotate the max. paint volume control (6)
to regulate the material fl ow.

- direction -> lower material fl ow

+ direction -> higher material fl ow

6.5 Spraying techniques

The results you get depend on how smooth

•

and clean the surface is. The surface must be
carefully prepared and free of dust.
Surfaces, threads, etc. which should not be

•

sprayed must be covered.
Always set the spray gun down on cardboard

•

or something similar. You can use the
cardboard as a target to properly adjust the
spray gun.

Important:

Always begin spraying outside of the area to be
sprayed and avoid interrupting spraying inside the
area to be sprayed.

Wrong (Fig. 9): If you only rotate the spray

•

gun from side to side, the gun will produce a
heavy mist and the coverage will be uneven.
Right (Fig. 10): Always hold the spray gun at

•

the same distance (about 5-15 cm) from the
surface you are working on.
Move the spray gun uniformly laterally or up

•

and down depending on the fan pattern.
Uniform motion of the spray gun produces

•

uniform finish quality.
If material residue remains on the nozzle

•

(3) and the air cap (2), clean both parts with
solvent or water.

6.6 Disconnecting and cleaning the gun (Fig.
1-2, 11-15)

Danger!

Always pull out the battery pack before starting
any cleaning work.

1. Press the trigger (5), so that the residual
material fl ows back into the container (12).

2. Unscrew the container (12) and empty the
residual material back into the material tin.

3. Clean the container (12) and the material
tube (11) with a bristle brush.

4. Pour solvent or water into the container.
Screw the container back on. Solvents with
a fl ash point above 131° F (55°C) are not
allowed to be used.

5. Reinsert the battery and turn on the paint
spray gun. Set the max. paint volume control
(6) to the maximum fl ow setting. Spray the
solvent or water into a container or rag, but
never into the surroundings.

6. Repeat the procedure above until the clear
solvent or water exits from the nozzle (3).

7. Then switch off the paint spray gun and
remove the battery.

8. Completely empty the container (12). Always
keep the container (12) free of residue and
check it for damage.

9. Use a rag soaked in solvent or water to clean
the outside of the paint spray gun and the
container (12).

10. Unscrew the air cap retaining ring (1) and
then remove the air cap (2). Remove the
nozzle (3). Push the fl uid needle adapter (18)
onto the fl uid needle (13). Twist and pull to
remove the fl uid needle. Clean the air cap
retaining ring, the air cap, the nozzle and the
fl uid needle with a bristle brush and solvent or
water.

11. Remove the fi lter cap (16) to clean the air inlet
fi lter. Remove the fi lter and clean it by blowing
out with air. Then reinsert the fi lter and screw
the fi lter cap onto the gun. Do not operate the
gun without the fi lter.

12. Reinsert the fl uid needle. Pull the trigger and
insert the nozzle on the fl uid needle. While
inserting, ensure that the pins on the sides of
the fl uid needle point up/down and not right/
left. Pull the trigger while placing the air cap
on the nozzle and fastening the air cap with
the air cap retaining ring.

13. Ensure that the paint spray gun is completely
dry before storing it.

14. Properly dispose of residual paint and
cleaning agents in accordance with local laws

and regulations. Residual paint and solvents
must be taken to a suitable collection point. If
you are not sure, ask the local council where
the nearest collection point is.

Warning!

Never immerse the paint spray gun in water
or other liquids. Clean the housing only with a
dampened rag.

Note: If you use 2-component paint, you must
clean the gun immediately. Otherwise the paint
might dry inside the gun, causing an equipment
fault.

7. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering spare parts

HAZARD!

Always take the battery out of the equipment
before starting any cleaning work.

7.1 Cleaning

Keep all safety devices, air vents and the

•

motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it down with compressed air at
low pressure.
