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

1. 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.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.

Service

a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Additional safety warnings for electric spray guns

To reduce the risks of fire or explosion, electrical shock and the injury to persons, read and understand all instructions included in this manual Be familiar with the controls and proper usage of the equipment. Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

a. HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite. Severe injury or property damage can occur.

PREVENTION:

• Ensure adequate ventilation in the spray zone and sufficient fresh air in the entire room. Evaporation of flammable solvents will cause an explosive environment.
• Avoid all ignition sources such as static electric sparks, open flames, pilot lights, electrical appliances, and hot objects. Connecting or disconnecting power cords or working light switches can make sparks.
• Do not smoke in spray area.
• Fire extinguisher must be present and in good working order.
• Use only outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Flammable vapours are often heavier than air. The turbine contains arcing parts that emit sparks and can ignite vapours.
• Follow the material and solvent manufacturer’s warnings and instructions.
• Do not use materials with a flash point below 21 °C Flash point is the temperature that a fluid can produce enough vapours to ignite (see coating supplier).
• Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic to enclose the spray area.
• Do not use plastic drop cloths when spraying flammable materials.

b. HAZARD: EXPLOSION HAZARD DUE TO INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS.

Will cause property damage or severe injury.

PREVENTION:

• Do not use materials containing bleach or chlorine.
• Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as bleach, mildewcide, methylene chloride and 1,1,1–trichloroethane. They are not compatible with aluminium.
• Contact your coating supplier about the compatibility of material with aluminium.

c. HAZARD: HAZARDOUS VAPOURS
Paints, solvents, insecticides, and other materials can be harmful if inhaled or come in contact with the body. Vapours can cause severe nausea, fainting, or poisoning.

PREVENTION:

• Use a respirator or mask if vapours can be inhaled. Read all instructions supplied with the mask to be sure it will provide the necessary protection.
• Wear protective eye-wear.
• Wear protective clothing as required by coating manufacturer.

d. HAZARD: GENERAL
Can cause severe injury or property damage.

PREVENTION:

• Follow all appropriate local, state, and national codes governing ventilation, fire prevention, and operation.
• Use only manufacturer authorized parts. User assumes all risks and liabilities when using parts that do not meet the minimum specifications and safety devices of the manufacturer.
• Do not spray outdoors on windy days.
• Wear protective clothing to keep paint off skin and hair.
• Never aim spray gun at any part of the body.
• Never aim the spray gun at people or animals.

Important electrical information

1. The tool plug must fit into the socket. The plug may not be modified in any form. Do not use adapter plugs together with protective-earthed tools. Unmodified plugs and suitable sockets reduce the risk of an electric shock.
2. Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, heating elements, stoves and refrigerators. The risk through electric shock increases if your body is earthed.
3. Keep the equipment away from rain and moisture. The risk of an electric shock increases if water penetrates electrical equipment.
4. Do not misuse the mains lead by carrying the tool by the lead, hanging it from the lead or by pulling on the lead to remove the plug. Keep the lead away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving tool parts. Damaged or twisted leads increase the risk of an electric shock.
5. If you work outdoors, use only extension leads that are approved for outdoor use. The use of an extension lead that is suitable for outdoors reduces the risk of an electric shock.

• Any use beyond these parameters can lead to serious risks and is regarded as use that is contrary to the intended purpose.
• The machine is not intended for commercial use.

Assembly

(See Fig. A, B).

Assemble the spray gun into the main housing

• Insert the spray gun (16) into the main housing (5) in the “open lock” position on the main housing. Turn in clockwise direction.
• Lock the main housing and the spray gun set with the quick release lock (9).

Aligning the suction tube
(See Fig. C, G).

• If you are going to be spraying in a downward direction, the angled end of the suction tube (17) should be pointing toward the front of the gun.
• If you are going to be spraying in an upward direction, the angled end of the suction tube (17) should be pointing toward the rear of the gun.
• By pointing the suction tube in the proper direction, you will not have to refill the container as often.

Material preparation Viscosity

• The appliance can process spray materials up to a maximum 100 DIN-s. (viscosity). You can determine the viscosity (thickness) of the substance with the supplied measuring cup using a simplified measuring procedure.
• Before spraying, the material being used may need to be thinned with the proper solvent as specified by the material manufacturer. Never exceed the thinning advice given by the coating manufacturer.
• Do not use materials with a flash point below 21 °C. Follow the instructions below.

Paint thinning

a. Stir the spraying material thoroughly before measuring viscosity.
b. Dip the viscosity test cup (15) completely into the spraying material.
c. Hold the test cup (15) up and measure the time (in seconds) until the stream of liquid stops. The resulting value is referred to as DIN seconds (DIN-s).
d. If the value is too high, gradually thin the spray material by adding small amounts of a suitable thinning agent in and mixing the liquid.
e. Measure the DIN seconds again. Repeat the process until you measure a viscosity of less than 100 DIN seconds.

• Do not exceed the maximal viscosity of the appliance. The spray material must not be too thick. Otherwise, the appliance might clog.
• Ensure that the spray material and thinning agent are compatible. Using an unsuitable thinning agent may cause clots that clog the appliance. Never mix synthetic resin varnishes with cellulose thinners.
• Granular products and products containing solids must not be sprayed. Their abrasive effect will shorten the service life of the pump and valve.
• Material to be sprayed should always be strained to remove any impurities in the paint which may enter and clog the system.
• Impurities in the paint will give poor performance and a poor finish. Material flash point must be 21 °C or higher.

Fill container
(See Fig. G).

a. Unscrew the container (11) from the spray gun.
b. After the material has been properly thinned and strained, fill the container.
c. Carefully screw the container back onto the spray gun.

Adjusting spray pattern shape
(See Fig. D).

The spray pattern shape is adjusted by turning the air cap (2) to either a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal position. The positions of the air cap and the corresponding spray pattern shapes are illustrated (See Fig. D). Test each pattern and use whichever pattern is suitable for your application.

Material flow adjustment
Set the material volume by turning the  material adjustment knob (8).

Proper spraying technique

• If spraying with an HVLP spray system is new or unfamiliar to you, it is advisable to practice on a piece of scrap wood or cardboard before beginning on your intended work piece.
  a. Preparing the surface

• Carefully cover a large area around the spray surface. Any surface that is not masked could become contaminated.

• Ensure that the surface is clean, dry and free of grease.

• Polished surfaces should be lightly sanded and the sanding dust removed.

b. How to spray properly
(See Fig. E, F).

• Hold the spray gun at a constant distance from the object. The ideal spraying distance is approx. 15 cm.
• Spray evenly up and down with smooth passes at a consistent speed as illustrated in fig. E. Doing this will help avoid irregularities in the finish (i. e. runs and sags).
• Always apply a thin coat of material on the first pass and allow to dry before applying a second, slightly heavier coat.
• The closer your sprayer is to the object being sprayed the more the over-spray.
• When spraying, always press and hold the trigger of the spray gun after spray pass has begun and release trigger before stopping the pass. Always keep the gun pointed squarely at the spray surface and overlap passes slightly to obtain the most consistent and professional finish possible.

Switching the spray gun on/off
a. Switching on

• Insert the plug into a mains power socket.
• To switch the spray gun on, press and hold the trigger (7).

b. Switching off

• To stop spraying, simply release the trigger (7).
• When you are finished working, disconnect the plug from the mains power supply.

Cleaning the spray gun
(See Fig. G).
Special clean-up instructions for use with flammable solvents (must have a flash point above 21 °C):

• Always flush spray gun outside.
• Area must be free of flammable vapours.
• Cleaning area must be well-ventilated.
• DO NOT SUBMERGE air compressor!

1. Unplug the spray gun, and trigger the spray gun so that the material inside the spray gun flows back into the container.

2. Unscrew the container (11). Empty any remaining material back into the material container.
