b)Do not use an electrical power tool if its switch is defective. An electrical power tool that can no longer be switched on and off is dangerous and must be repaired.

c)When not in use always ensure that electrical power tools are kept out of reach of children. Do not let anyone use the device if he or she is not famil- iar with it or has not read the instruc- tions and advice.

Electrical power tools are dangerous when they are used by inexperienced people.

d)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 dam- aged parts repaired before you use the device. Many accidents have their origins in poorly maintained electrical power tools.

e)Use the electrical power tool, acces- sories, 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.

Safety advice relating spe- cifically to paint spray guns

JWear a breathing/dust mask! The inhalation of paint mist and sol- vent vapour is hazardous to health.

JWork in adequately ventilated spaces only.

JIf you do not know how dangerous a sub- stance is, do not spray it.

JNever aim the spray at living creatures.

JDanger of explosion! Do not

use the device in environments con- taining gases, open flames, fires or

gas-operated water heaters.

General safety advice / Advice on use

J No smoking!

JEasily flammable or explosive liquids (e.g. petrol, spirit) must not be sprayed or used for cleaning.

JPaint and solvents (thinners) must have a flash- point above 21°C.

JPrecise observation of the hazard warnings, information and data sheets available from the sprayed medium manufacturer is essential.

QAdvice on use

QDIN-sec / Viscosity

The Parkside paint spray gun PFSPS 150 can be used to apply sprayed media with a viscosity up to 100 DIN-sec. Viscosity is determined in a simplified measuring procedure using the supplied measuring cup (see Fig. C).

1.Fill the measuring cup up to the rim with the sprayed medium.

2.Measure how long in seconds it takes to flow out.

3.This time is the DIN-seconds value of viscosity.

QPreparing the sprayed medium

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 guidelines to achieve a suitable viscosity (see table).

Use a suitable thinner to achieve the required thinning of the medium.

1.Thoroughly mix through unthinned sprayed medium at 20 °C.

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!
