General safety instructions for power tools
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 se-rious
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
- Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
- 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.
- Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
- 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.
- 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.
- Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
- 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. D amaged or entangled c ords increase the risk of electric shock.
- 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.
- 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
-
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. -
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
-
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
-
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. -
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
- 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.
- Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. A ny p ower t ool t hat c annot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
- 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.
- 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.

NOTE! The alignment of the spray depends on the desired working direction. For horizontal working direction, a vertical spray is recommended. In the case of the vertical working direction, a horizontal spray.
Spraying Technique (Fig. 25-28)
- Move the spray gun (6) with the entire arm, not by flexing the wrist. This will keep the spray gun (6) at right angles to the surface, keeping the pattern even (Fig. 25).
- Pull the trigger (3) after starting the stroke, and release the trigger (3) before ending the stroke. The spray gun (6) should be moving, when the trigger (3) is pulled and released (Fig. 26).
- Keep the spray gun (6) perpendicular to the surface, so spray distance is consistent (Fig. 27).
- Overlap your strokes by approx. 30% to ensure even coverage (Fig.28).
NOTE!
- Do not spray outdoors on a windy day as the results may be unsatisfactory.
- Only apply one coat at a time, always allow a coat to completely dry before adding another coat.
- Avoid stopping and starting as this can lead to a patchy finish. It is best to start spraying outside the surface to be sprayed and avoid stopping in the middle of the surface, continue just past the opposite edge.
Cleaning and maintenance
ATTENTION! Prior to any adjustment, maintenance or service work switch off the machine and disconnect the mains power plug!
Select cleaning solution
For water-based material (e.g. acrylic paint):
-
Use only water when performing the cleaning procedure.
ATTENTION! Use of a solvent-based cleaning materials on water-based paints will result in a new substance that will be extremely difficult to clean. -
We recommend the use of 10-15 litres of water when performing the cleaning procedure. For oil-based material (e.g. enamel paint , lacquer):
-
Use only the appropriate cleaning solution. Read the cleaning instructions printed on the coating material`s label to determine which cleaning material you need.
-
The following solvent-based cleaning products are safe to use in the Airless Paint Sprayer: Mineral turpentine, paint thinner
-
NOTE: Mineral turpentine must not be mixed with water at any stage during the cleaning process.
-
We recommend 1-2 litres of the appropriate solvent- based cleaner when performing cleaning procedure.

Cleaning the spray gun
IMPORTANT! The cleaning process must be followed immediately after use to
prevent paint from drying inside the pump and hose. Failure to follow this
instruction may permanently seize the paint sprayer and automatically void the
warranty.
ATTENTION! Ensure the unit is switched off and the pressure release
procedure has been performed.
-
Remove the spray gun (6) from the spray hose (1) by loosening the nut with a 19mm spanner (not supplied). (Fig. 3 reverse)
-
Remove the nozzle guard (4) and spray tip (5) by loosening the retaining nut. Once the guard assembly has been removed, pull the spray tip (5) out. (Fig. 33)
NOTE! A small spacer bolt (27) and sealing (28) are used to locate the spray tip (5) within the nozzle guard (4). Be careful not to lose these components when the nozzle guard (4) is removed (Fig. 34). If the sealing (28) is no longer tight or porous, replace with the replacement sealing (included). -
Remove the trigger guard (2). Therefore unhook from the trigger guard holder (24). (Fig. 7) Remove the spray hose inlet port (25) at the lower end or the spray gun handle (7) by using an open ended spanner 19mm (Fig. 35+36).
-
While holding the upper part of the spray gun (2), loosen the handle (7) by applying a 21mm spanner to the grooves located on the bottom part of the handle (7). Rotate anti -clockwise until the handle (7) can be completely removed (Fig. 37). Tip: Using a shifter or bench vice to hold the upper part of the spray gun (6) will make this step much easier.
-
Remove the mesh filter handle (26) from the spray gun handle (7) and clean all components in the cleaning solution (Fig. 38).
-
To clean the mesh filter, unscrew either cap end by turning anti -clockwise. Once unscrewed, remove the cap and pull the other cap and spring out of the mesh filter sleeve. Use the cleaning brush to scrub the inside of the mesh filter (Fig. 39).
NOTE: After cleaning, inspect the condition of the mesh filter. If the mesh filter is clogged with dried paint, has started fraying or has deformed out of shape, it will need to be replaced. -
To re-assemble the spray gun (6), follow the procedures mentioned above in reverse direction.
