An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also
take into account the times when the tool is switched off or
when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may signif-
icantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from
the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the acces-
sories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
Assembly
 Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
 Ensure that the spray gun and base unit are assembled
completely and with all seals. Only this will ensure the
function and safety of the fine-spray system.
Connecting the Air Hose (see figures A1 – A3)
– Open the holding clamp 24 and unwind the air hose 20
completely from the base unit 22.
Connecting the base unit:
– Insert a bayonet lock 21 of the air hose securely into the
slots in the base unit port 26 according to the arrow marks.
– Turn the bayonet lock a quarter turn clockwise.
Connecting to the spray gun:
– Insert the second bayonet lock 21 of the air hose securely
into the slots in the spray gun port 9 according to the arrow
marks.
– Turn the bayonet lock a quarter turn clockwise.
Note: Remove the air hose 20 before pouring in spray materi-
al (quarter turn of the bayonet lock 21 counterclockwise; pull
the bayonet lock 21 out of the port 9).
Changing the Nozzle Cap (see figures B1–B2)
The fine-spray system is supplied with three nozzle caps:
Nozzle Nozzle
cap 10 cap 11
Colour white grey
Delivery Mounted In the accessory compart-
condition ment 27 under the holding
clamp 24
Application "Wall" "Wood/glaze" "Wood/lac-
Note: Check the spray material by stirring it before selecting
the nozzle cap. Thinner-viscosity material (e.g. wood paint)
can be sprayed better with the grey nozzle cap 11 or the black
nozzle cap 12, whereas thicker-viscosity material (e.g. wall
paint) can be sprayed better with the white nozzle cap 10.
– To change the nozzle cap, unscrew the union nut 3.
– Pull off the air cap 2.
– Unscrew the mounted nozzle cap.
– Open the holding clamp 24 and take the required nozzle
cap out of the accessory compartment 27.
– Screw the required nozzle cap onto the thread in the spray
gun.
– Put the air cap 2 on the nozzle cap and tighten it with the
union nut 3.

Operation
 Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.

Preparing for Operation

 Spraying on the sides of water bodies (lakes, rivers,
etc.) or neighbouring surfaces in the direct catchment
area is not permitted.
When purchasing paint, varnish and spray material, pay at-
tention to their environmental compatibility.
Preparing the Spray Surface
The spray surface must be clean, dry and grease-free.
– Roughen smooth surfaces and then remove the sanding
dust.
When spraying, all non-covered surfaces can be soiled by the
spray mist. Therefore, thoroughly prepare the area around
the surface to be sprayed:
– Cover or mask off floors, furnishings, doors, windows as
well as door and window frames, etc.
Preparing the Spray Material
– Stir the spray material thoroughly.
– Dilute the spray material if necessary.
Spray material
Wood stains, oils, glazes, impregna-
tions, anti-rust primers
Solvent-dilutable or water-dilutable
lacquers, primers, radiator lacquers,
thick-coat glazes
Emulsion paint, latex paint
 When diluting, pay attention that the spray material
and the diluting agent correspond. When using a faulty
Nozzle
diluting agent, lumps can develop that can lead to clogging
cap 12
of the spray gun.
black
 When diluting the spray material, make sure that the
flash point of the mixture is above 55 °C again after di-
luting. Diluting e.g. solvent-based lacquers lowers the
flash point.
Filling in Spray Material (see figures C1–C2)
quer"
Note: Remove the air hose 20 before pouring in spray materi-
al (quarter turn of the bayonet lock 21 counterclockwise; pull
the bayonet lock 21 out of the port 9).
– When using large buckets, pour the spray material into a
smaller transfer bucket 14 if necessary (e.g. 10-l wall paint
into an empty 2.5 or 5.0-l bucket).
– Hold the spray gun in place with one hand and use
the other hand to turn the container 7 towards the
open symbol.
– Pull the spray gun off the container 7.
– If you are using already opened spray material, place the
thoroughly cleaned filling sieve 13 on the container 7 to
hold back any lumps of paint when pouring in.
