The vibration level given in these instructions has been measured in accordance with a standardised measurement procedure specified in EN 60745 and can be used to compare devices. Different uses of the device give rise to different vi- bration levels and in many cases they may exceed the values given in these instructions. It is easy to under- estimate the vibration load if the electrical power tool is used regularly in particular circumstances. Note: If you wish to make an accurate assessment of the vibration loads experienced during a particular period of working, you should also take into account7 GB/IE Introduction / General safety advice for electrical power toolsIntroduction the intervening periods of time when the device is switched off or is running but is not actually in use. This can result in a much lower vibration load over the whole of the period of working.

General safety advice for electrical power tools Read all the safety advice and instructions! Failure to observe the safety advice and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and / or serious injury. Keep all the safety advice and instructions in a safe place for future reference! The term “electrical tool” used in the safety advice refers to electrical tools powered by mains electrici- ty (by means of a mains lead) and electrical tools powered by rechargeable batteries (without a mains lead).

Workplace safety a) Keep your working area clean and well lit. Untidy or poorly lit working areas can lead to accidents. b) Do not work with the device in poten- tially explosive environments in which there are inflammable liquids, gases or dusts. Electrical power tools create sparks, which can ignite dusts or fumes. c) Keep children and other people away while you are operating the electrical tool. Distractions can cause you to lose con- trol of the device.

The mains plug on the device must match the mains socket. The plug must not be modified in any way. Do not use an adapter plug with devices fitted wi

a protective earth. Unmodified plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of electric shock. b) Avoid touching earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ovens and refrig- erators with any part of your body. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed

c) Keep the device away from rain or moisture. Water entering an electrical device increases the risk of electric shock. d) Do not use the mains lead for any pur- pose for which it was not intended, e.g. to carry the device, to hang up the de- vice or to pull the mains plug out of the mains socket. Keep the mains lead away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts of the device. Damaged or tangled mains leads increase the risk of electric shock. e) When working outdoors with an electrical power tool always use ex- tension cables that are also approved for use outdoors. The use of an extension cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. f) Use a residual current device (RCD) for protection if operating the electri- cal power tool in a moist environment is unavoidable. The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

a) Remain alert at all times, watch what you are doing and always proceed with caution. Do not use the device if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. One mo ment of carelessness when using the device can lead to serious injury. b) Wear personal protective equipment and always wear safety glasses. The wearing of personal protective equipment such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safe- ty helmets or ear protectors, appropriate to the type of electrical power tool used and work undertaken, reduces the risk of injury. c) Avoid unintentional operation of the device. Check that the electrical power8 GB/IE General safety advice for electrical power tools / Advice on useGeneral safety advice for electrical power tools tool is switched off before you connect it to the mains, pick it up or carry it. Accidents can happen if you carry the device with your finger on the ON / OFF switch or with the device switched on. d) Remove any setting tools or spanners before you switch the device on. A tool or spanner left attached to a rotating part of a device can lead to injury. e) Avoid placing your body in an unnat- ural position. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. By doing this you will be in a better position to control the device in unforeseen circumstances. f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves clear of mov- ing parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can become trapped in moving parts. g) If vacuum dust extraction and collection devices are fitted do not forget to check that they are properly connected and correctly used. The use of these devices reduces the hazard presented by dust.

Careful handling and use of electrical power tools a) Do not overload the device. Always use an electrical power tool that is intended for the task you are under- taking. By using the right electrical power tool for the job you will work more safely and achieve a better result. 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) Pull the mains plug from the socket before you make any adjustments to the device, change accessories or when the device is put away. This precaution is intended to prevent you from unintentionally starting the device. d) 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 familiar with it or has not read the instructions and advice. Electrical power tools are dan- gerous when they are used by inexperienced people. e) Look after the device carefully. Check that moving parts are working prop- erly 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. f) Keep cutting tools clean and sharp. Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control. g) Use the electrical power tool, accesso- ries, inserted tools etc. in accordance with these instructions and advice, and the stipulations drawn up for this par- ticular 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 in- tended can lead to dangerous situations.

a) Have your device repaired at the ser- vice centre or by qualified specialist personnel using original manufacturer parts only. This will ensure that your device remains safe to use.

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.9 GB/IE General safety advice for electrical power tools / Advice on useGeneral safety advice for electrical power tools

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 Viscosity The Parkside paint spray gun PFS 100 C2 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

to the top with the medium to be sprayed.

2. Lift the measuring cup

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 ac- cordance 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 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!10 GB/IE Bringing into use / Maintenance and cleaning / Service centre / WarrantyAdvice on use / Bringing into use Material Flow rate in seconds Latex paint 24 – 28 Water-based paint 20 – 25 Primer 24 – 28 Lacquer 20 – 25 Oil-based paint 18 – 22 Glaze 18 – 22 Aluminium paint 22 – 25 Wood sealer 28 – 35 Wood preserver No diluting required Wood stain No diluting required

• This device cannot be used to spray media contain- ing discrete particles / solids. The abrasive effect of these media shortens pump and valve life.

Preparing the surface to be sprayed The surface to be sprayed must be clean, dry and free of grease. Roughen smooth surfaces and remove any abraded dust. Always cover the surrounding area around the surface to be sprayed. The spray cloud may contaminate the surrounding area.

thick-flowing sprayed media Cleaning nozzle

a thinner, harder spray for spot-cleaning of surfaces Nozzle Use Nozzle extension

for spraying into corners which are difficult to reach

and keep it pressed. Switching off: To switch off the electrical power tool, release the ON / OFF switch

1. You can vary the spray by adjusting the regulator

(see Fig. D). The spray is correctly set when no drops are formed and the gun produces a fine, consistent spray pattern.

2. Do not switch the device on or off while it is

over the surface to be sprayed. Instead, start and stop the spraying process approximately 10 cm outside the surface to be sprayed. NOTE: The distance between the nozzle and the workpiece depends on the material being sprayed (approx. 20 to 35 cm spraying dis- tance, depending on the spray cone and the desired amount of material to be applied). Use the device in a horizontal orientation only (as shown in Fig. D). Carry out a trial in each case to determine the most effective spraying distance. Start with a longer distance.

3. Spray corners or small decorative details first

using short bursts of spray. Then go on to the actual spraying process.

4. The spray process should follow the sequence

shown in Fig. E – keep the spray gun moving parallel to the surface – Do not incline the spray gun – Move the spray gun at a constant speed – Apply the sprayed medium as thinly as possible – The layer(s) of sprayed medium need(s) to be allowed to dry for some time before you11 GB/IE Bringing into use / Maintenance and cleaning / Service centre / WarrantyAdvice on use / Bringing into use apply the next coat (Fig. F) at right angles to the previous coat.

5. Do not allow the paint cup

to empty com- pletely while spraying – drops may form!

Maintenance and cleaning General advice:

Pull out the mains plug be- fore you carry out any tasks on the spray gun. Do the same when you take a break from spraying.

2. After each use, spray thinners (in the open

air only – danger of explosion!) or water through the device.

3. To protect from rust after cleaning, you can

spray sewing machine oil through the device.

THROUGH ELECTRIC SHOCK! Never im- merse the device in the cleaning medium.

5. Never use inflammable solvents to clean the

6. Use a dry cloth to clean the housing. Never

use petrol, solvents or cleaning agents that might attack plastic. Cleaning instructions:

1. Unscrew the attachment screw

2. Take off the pump housing

and remove the suction- pressure valve

4. Take the pump piston

out of the pump housing

6. Fit the components back in reverse order.

TIP: After use or cleaning, hang up the electrical power tool from the metal stirrup
