TECHNICAL DATA

Always wear ear protection.

The declared values for vibration and noise, which have been measured according to a standardized test method, can be used to compare different tools with each other and for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The measurement values have been determined in accordance with EN 14462.

WARNING!

The actual vibration and noise level when using tools may differ from the specified maximum value, depending on how the tool is used and the material. It is therefore necessary to determine which safety precautions are required to protect the user, based on an estimate of exposure in actual operating conditions (taking into account all stages of the work cycle, e.g. the time when the tool is switched off and when it is idling, in addition to the start- up time).

EXPLANATION OF PRODUCT CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS

Power switch

When the switch is in position 1 the product is on, and in position 0 it is off.

FIG. 2

Pressure control knob

Pressure control knob (setting the pressure and material flow).

FIG. 3

Pressure relief valve

The product is supplied with pressure when the pressure relief valve lever is horizontal. Pressure is relieved in vertical position and air can be released. The pressure relief valve is mainly used to bleed the system before starting the product. It also protects from overflowing if there is overpressure in the product.

FIG. 4

Manual valve

If the product has not been used for some time the ball in the inlet valve can fasten to the valve seat, which will prevent feeding of the paint. Press the manual valve lever repeatedly to release the inlet valve ball so that the inlet valve can work as usual.

FIG. 5

Pressure control valve

The pressure control valve has a sensor that detects the pressure in the pump housing and sends a signal to the control card, which regulates the pressure.

Outlet and inlet valves

The outlet and inlet valves are controlled together to keep the paint under pressure and to supply the high pressure for spraying.
