Electrical power tools are dangerous when they are used by inexperienced people. e) Look after the device carefully. Check that moving parts are working properly and move freely. Check for any parts that are broken or damaged enough to detrimentally affect the functioning of the device. Have damaged parts repaired before you use the device. Many accidents have their origins in poorly maintained electrical power tools. f) Use the electrical power tool, accessories, inserted tools etc. in accordance with these instructions and advice, and the stipulations drawn up for this particular type of device. In doing this, take into account the working conditions and the task in hand. The use of electrical power tools for purposes other than those intended can lead to dangerous situations. A Additional safety advice for paint spray guns The spray gun must never be used for spraying inflammable substances. Spray guns must never be cleaned using inflammable solvents. If you do not know the level of danger a substance presents, do not spray it. Precise observation of the hazard warnings, information and data sheets available from the sprayed medium manufacturer is essential. ^ Wear a breathing / dust mask! The inhalation of paint mist and solvent vapour is hazardous to health. Work in adequately ventilated spaces only. Wear protective glasses! Never aim the spray at living creatures. DANGER OF EXPLOSION! Do not use the device in environments containing gases, open flames, fires or gas-operated water heaters. NO SMOKING! ■ Paint and solvents (thinners) must have a flashpoint above 21°C. • Advice on use • DIN-sec / Viscosity The Parkside paint spray gun PFS 100 A1 can be used to apply sprayed media with a viscosity up to 80 DIN-sec. Viscosity is determined in a simplified measuring procedure using the supplied measuring cup (see Fig. C). 1. Immerse and fill the supplied measuring cup (T2] to the top with the medium to be sprayed. 2. Lift the measuring cup ¡T2] out of the medium to be sprayed and let the liquid flow out (see Figure C). 3. Measure the time in seconds it takes for the flow of liquid out of the measuring cup to cease. This time is the "DIN-seconds (DIN-s)" value of viscosity. 4. If the value is too high, incrementally add and mix in small quantities of a thinner compatible with the medium to be sprayed. Proceed in accordance with the section about "Preparing the sprayed medium". 5. Remeasure the DIN-seconds value. Repeat this procedure until a value is obtained that complies with the values in the table. • Preparing the sprayed medium NOTE: Most paints, varnishes etc. in the shops are intended to be applied by brush not spray. To achieve the best spraying result, you should prepare your paint or varnish etc. in accordance with DIN III PARKSIDE GB/IE/CY 9 Advice on use / Bringing into use guidelines to achieve a suitable viscosity (see table). Use a suitable thinner to achieve the required thinning of the medium. ■ Never exceed the maximum viscosity for the device. The sprayed medium must not be too thick for the spraying process, otherwise it could clog up the device. ■ Ensure that the sprayed medium and the thinner are compatible with one another. If the wrong thinner is used, it can lead to lumps forming which may clog up the device. Never mix nitro-thinners with synthetic resin paint. ■ Consult the sprayed medium manufacturer's documentation for information about suitable thinners (water, solvents). 1. Thoroughly mix the unthinned sprayed medium and bring it to average room temperature (20 - 22 °C). Do not increase the temperature to change the viscosity. 2. Add a suitable thinner. 3. Test the viscosity as described above (see Fig. C). NOTE: Never use nitro-thinners to thin synthetic resin paint!

The spray cloud may contaminate the surrounding area. • Bringing into use • Selecting the nozzle Nozzle Use Nozzle, 0.6 mm all paints, varnishes Nozzle, 0.8 mm thick-flowing sprayed media Cleaning nozzle a thinner, harder spray for spot-cleaning of surfaces Nozzle extension for spraying in high or low, more difficult to reach corners • Switching ON / OFF Switching on: □ To start the electrical power tool, press the ON / OFF switch [3 and keep it pressed. Switching off: □ To switch off the electrical power tool, release the ON / OFF switch |~3|. ‘ This device cannot be used to spray media containing discrete particles / solids. The abrasive effect of these media sh...
