 Avoid accidental starts. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the plug.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools when the switch is in the on position makes accidents more likely.

 Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before turning on the power tool. A spanner or

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

 Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly on the ground at all times. This will enable

you retain control over the power tool in unexpected situations.

 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and

gloves away from the power tool. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can become entangled in the moving parts.

 If there are devices for connecting dust extraction and collection facilities, please ensure

that they are attached and used correctly. Using such devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

5.4 Power tool use and care

 Do not expect the power tool to do more than it can. Use the correct power tool for what

you want to do. A power tool will achieve better results and be safer if used in the context for which it was designed.

 Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn it on and off. A power tool with a

broken switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

 Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

 Store power tools, when not in use, out of the reach of children and do not allow people

who are not familiar with the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Power tools are potentially dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

 Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or jammed moving parts, breakages or any

other feature that might affect the operation of the power tool. If it is damaged, the power tool must be repaired. Many accidents are caused by using poorly maintained power tools.

 Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting

edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.

 Use the power tool, accessories and cutting tools, 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 which needs to be done. Using a power tool in ways for which it was not intended can lead to potentially hazardous situations.

5.5 Service

 Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard spare

parts. This will ensure that it meets the required safety standards.

6 SAFETY WARNINGS FOR FINE-SPRAY SYSTEMS

 Keep area clean well lit and free of paint or solvent containers, rags, and other flammable

materials. Spontaneous combustion may occur. Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working at all times.

 Provide for good ventilation in the spraying area and for sufficient fresh air in the complete

room. Evaporating inflammable solvents create an explosive environment.

 Do not use materials with a flashpoint below 21 °C for spraying and cleaning. Use water-

based materials, non-volatile hydrocarbons or similar materials. Fast evaporating solvents create an explosive environment.

 Do not spray in the vicininty of ignition sources, such as static electricity sparks, open

flames, pilot lights, hot objects, engines/ motors, cigarettes and sparks from plugging in or unplugging power cords or operating switches. Such spark sources can ignite the spraying vicinity/environment.

Page 6

POWX357

 Do not spray any liquid of unknown hazard potential. Unknown materials can create

hazardous conditions.

 Wear additional protective equipment such as appropriate protective gloves and protective

masks or respirators when spraying or handling chemicals. Wearing protective equipment for the appropriate conditions reduces the exposure to hazardous substances.

 Never point the spray jet against yourself, towards other persons or animals. Keep your

hands and other body parts away from the spray jet. If the spray jet should penetrate the skin, seek medical attention immediately from a doctor. The material being sprayed can even penetrate the skin through a glove and be injected into your body.

 Do not treat injection as a simple cut. Highpressure spray is able to inject toxins into the

body and cause serious bodily injury. In the event that injection occurs, seek medical attention immediately.

 Be aware of possible hazards from the spray material. Observe the information on

drums/tanks/tins as well as manufacturer information of the spray material, including the request to wear personal protective equipment. The manufacturer's instructions are to be observed in order to reduce the risk of fire as well as injuries caused through toxins, carcinogens, etc.

 Use only nozzles/nozzle inserts specified by the manufacturer. Never spray without the

nozzle protection mounted. Use of a special nozzle insert with the corresponding nozzle protection reduces the probability that a high-pressure jet penetrates the skin and injects toxins into the body.

 Exercise caution when cleaning and changing nozzle inserts. If the nozzle insert should

become clogged during spraying, follow the manufacturer's instructions for switching off the system and relieving the pressure before removing the nozzle. Fluids under high pressure can penetrate the skin, inject toxins into the body and lead to serious injury.

 Keep the plug of the mains cord and the trigger switch of the spray gun clear of paint and

other fluids. Never hold the cord by its connectors to support it. Failure to follow the instruction can lead to electric shock.

We accept no responsibility for damage caused by the use of unsuitable substances, or paints that have not been thinned correctly, and any health hazards that arise from lack of adequate ventilation

6.1 Immediately switch off the spray gun when :

 Interruption in the mains plug, mains lead or mains lead damage.  Defect switch.  Smoke or stench of scorched isolation.

7 ASSEMBLY

7.1 Preparation (fig 1.)

Do not use textured wall paints or coatings as this will block the nozzle.

To obtain the best results, it is important that you prepare the surface to be sprayed and thin the paint to the correct viscosity, before you operate your spray gun. Always ensure that the surfaces to be sprayed are free from dust, dirt and grease. Make sure that you have masked the areas that should not be sprayed, using a good quality masking tape. The paint or fluid to be sprayed should be thoroughly mixed and free from lumps or other particles. Many substances can be sprayed with your spray gun, but always check the manufacturers recommendations before purchasing your paint.

7.2 Thinning

Always remember to disconnect from the mains supply before filling the paint container with sprayable material.

Most paints are supplied ready for brush application and will need to be thinned before they are suitable to be sprayed. Follow the manufacturer’s advice on thinning. The paint when used with a spray gun. The viscosity cup will help you to determine the correct viscosity of paint to be used. To determine the correct viscosity, fill the cup to the brim with the paint. Measure the amount of time it takes for the cup to empty back into the can. The table below shows recommended times for different types of material.

Plastic & latex paint 24 - 28 seconds Water based paint 20 - 25 seconds Primers 24- 28 seconds Varnishes 20 - 25 seconds Oil based paints 18 - 22 seconds Enamel paints 18 - 22 seconds Aluminum paints 22 - 25 Seconds Car under sealing 25 - 35 seconds Wood sealers 28 - 35 seconds Wood preservatives No thinning required Wood stains No thinning required

If the paint takes longer than the recommended time to empty, then further thinning is required. Mix in a small quantity of the appropriate thinner and use the viscosity test until the correct thickness is achieved. Some sprayable materials contain particles and lumps. These materials should be strained before filling the paint container.

8 OPERATION

8.1 Start up

1. Mounting air hose. Insert the air hose tightly in the connections on the machine and the

spray gun (a + b). The connections can be positioned as desired. (Fig. 2, fig. 3)
