GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery- operated (cordless) power tool.

WORK AREA SAFETY

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable 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.

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. Unmodified 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 tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

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 influence 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 finger 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 dust collection 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.

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 affect 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, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those 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.

Spraying (Figs. M, N)

NOTE : Before painting, ensure the paint sprayer has been primed and verify that Spray tip (14d) is aligned properly.

Perform several spray tests to select the suitable spray pressure by regulating the pressure control knob (22). Start painting on the work surface after the tests show a satisfactory result.

1. Set up a piece of cardboard or other scrap material to use as a target and adjust for best spray pattern.
   WARNING!
   Never aim or spray at yourself or anybody else. This may cause serious injury.

2. Make a few strokes on a cardboard test area to test the consistency of the material being applied. If material still appears too thick, add a small amount of thinner. Do not exceed paint manufacturer’s thinning recommendations.

3. Keep the spray nozzle (14f) about 10 to 30 cm from the work surface. Move the spray gun keeping perpendicular with spraying area (Fig. M).

4. Switch the product on.

5. Ensure the spray tip (14d) is adjusted at spray setting with the arrow forward.

6. Unlock the trigger (15).

7. Fully press the trigger (15) and then move it across the work area in a parallel direction. Stopping gun movement in mid-stroke will cause a build-up of paint and result in running. Do not fan the gun from side to side while painting. This will cause a build-up of paint in the centre of the stroke and an insufficient coating at each end (Fig. N).

8. Trigger the spray gun properly. Start the gun moving at the beginning of the stroke before squeezing the trigger (15), and release the trigger (15) before stopping the gun movement at the end of the stroke. This procedure will blend each stroke with the next without showing overlap or unevenness.

9. The amount of paint being applied can be varied by the spray pressure and the distance from the surface.

10. Overlap strokes just enough to obtain an even coat.

11. Do not let go of the trigger to disrupt the paint flow.

NOTE : If the spray pattern becomes distorted or gives an unsatisfactory result, the nozzle (14f) may have become blocked. In this case, refer to the ‘Unblocking Spray Nozzle’ procedure.
Two thin coats of paint will yield better results and have less chance of running than one heavy layer.
If taking a break from spraying for more than several minutes, perform the pressure release procedure. Place the spray tip (14d) in a bucket of water to prevent paint from drying and forming blockages in the spray gun.

Unblocking Spray Nozzle
