NOTE ► The vibration emission values and the noise emission values given in these instructions have been measured in accordance with a standardised test procedure and can be used for comparison of the power tool with another tool. ► The specified total vibration values and the noise emission values can also be used to make a provisional load estimate.PAFS 550 A1 ■ 4 

WARNING! ► Depending on the manner in which the power tool is being used and, in particular, the kind of workpiece being worked, the vibration and noise emission values can deviate from the values given in these instructions during actual use of the power tool. ► It is necessary to establish safety measures to protect the operator based on an estimation of the vibration load during actual use (wherein all states of operation must be included, e.g. times when the power tool is switched off and times where the power tool is switched on but running without load). General power toolsafety warnings WARNING! ► Read all safety warnings, instructions, illus- trations 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.

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos- pheres, 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.

2. 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 working outdoors with an electrical power tool always use extension cords that are also suitable for use outdoors. 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 re duces the risk of electric shock.

a) 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.PAFS 550 A1

 5 ■ c) 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. d) 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. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) 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. g) 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. h) Do not allow yourself to get lulled into a false sense of security and do not ignore the safety rules for power tools, even if you are familiar with the power tool after repeated use. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

4. 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 accessory tools, etc. in accordance with these instruc- tions, taking into account the working condi- tions 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 unex- pected situations.

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.PAFS 550 A1 ■ 6 

Additional safety instructions RISK OF EXPLOSION AND FIRE! ► Make sure there are no ignition sources in the vicinity. There is a risk of explosion due to the potential formation of an explosive atmosphere in combination with ignition sources (e.g. by electrostatic discharge, electric sparks, hot surfaces)! ■ RISK OF INJURY! DUE TO MISUSE! Do not point the appliance towards people or animals.

■ RISK OF EXPLOSION/FIRE! SMOKING

PROHIBITED! Do not cause any sparks or ignite a naked flame. Make sure there are no ignition sources in the vicinity, such as open flames, smoking cigarettes, cigars and tobacco pipes, sparks, glowing wires, hot surfaces, etc. WARNING! ► Keep your distance from the nozzle tip! ■ Do not spray yourself, other people or animals. Keep your hands and other body parts out of the spray jet. If the spray jet pierces your skin, seek medical assistance immediately. The sprayed material can penetrate the skin (even when wearing gloves) and thus into your body. ■ Do not treat an injection wound as a simple cut. A high-pressure jet can inject toxins into the body and cause serious injuries (e.g. necrosis, loss of limbs). In the event of a chem- ical penetration of the skin, seek medical assis- tance immediately. ■ Before each use, the following points must be observed in accordance with the operating instructions:

1) Do not use an appliance if it is faulty.

2) Secure the hand spray gun against accidental

activation using the safety catch on the trigger.

3) Ensure earthing – The connection must be

made via a properly earthed safety socket (Schuko).

4) Check the maximum permissible operating

pressure of the high-pressure hose and spray gun.

5) Check all connections for leaks.

■ Strictly follow the instructions on regular cleaning and maintenance of the appliance. Observe the following rules before carrying out any work on the appliance and at every work break:

6) Depressurise the spray gun and the

7) Secure the hand spray gun against accidental

activation using the safety catch on the trigger.

8) Switch off the appliance.

■ Do not use the appliance in areas that fall under the explosion protection ordinance. ■ Keep your work area clean, well lit and free of paint and solvent containers, cloths and other inflammable materials. Possible risk of spontaneous combustion. Make sure you have functional fire extinguishers available at all times. ■ Do not spray or clean with materials whose ignition point is lower than 21°C. Use water- based materials, non-volatile hydrocarbons or similar materials. The evaporation of volatile solvents will cause an explosive environment. ■ Do not spray near ignition sources such as static electric sparks, open flames, ignition flames, hot items , motors, cigarettes or sparks caused by plugging in/unplugging power cables or by operating switches. These kinds of ignition sources could ignite a fire in the environment. ■ Do not spray any material if you do not know whether it is potentially dangerous. Unknown materials can cause hazards. ■ To avoid potential risks, if the appliance's power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its customer service or by a qualified technician. ■ Wear additional personal protective equip- ment such as suitable gloves and a protective mask/respirator when spraying or when hand- ling chemicals. Wearing appropriate protective equipment for the conditions reduces your exposure to dangerous substances.PAFS 550 A1

 7 ■ ■ Be aware of the potential hazards of the sprayed material. Follow the markings on the container and the manufacturer's information on the spray material you are using, including the instructions to use personal protective equipment. Follow the manufacturer's instruc- tions to reduce the risk of fire and injuries caused by poisons, carcinogens, etc. ■ The spray gun must not be used for spraying flammable substances. Do not clean spray guns with flammable solvents. ■ Secure the appliance and the spray gun. ■ Secure all hoses, connections and filter parts before starting up the spray pump. Unsecured parts can come loose with great force or fluid can escape at high pressure, causing serious injury. Always secure the spray gun when assembling or disassembling the nozzle and during any breaks in work. ■ Be prepared for recoil from the spray gun during operation. At high operating pressure, pulling the trigger causes a recoil force of up to 15 N. If you are not prepared for this, your hand may be pushed back or you may lose your balance. This can lead to injuries. Contin- uous exposure to this recoil can lead to perma- nent damage to health. ■ Max. operating pressure: The permissible operating pressure for the spray gun, high-pres- sure hose and spray gun accessories may not be less than the maximum operating pressure of 110bar (11MPa) indicated on the appliance. ■ The appliance must be connected via a properly earthed safety socket (Schuko). The connection must be equipped with a residual current device INF≤30mA. ■ Make sure that the mains supply being connected corresponds to the values indicated on the type plate. ■ Before carrying out any work on the appliance, relieve the pressure and disconnect the mains plug from the socket. ■ You must earth the object that you are intending to spray! ■ Observe the user manual when installing, main- taining and repairing the appliance. ■ The appliance must be earthed during installation. ■ Ensure adequate ventilation in the spray area and sufficient fresh air in the entire room. Wear a mask. ■ Always wear suitable safety goggles to keep hazardous vapours and liquids away from your eyes. ■ Wear protective clothing to keep paint away from your skin and hair. WARNING! ► Under certain circumstances, the flow rate of the coating material may cause electrostatic charges to occur on the appliance during spraying. They can cause sparks or flames when discharged. Therefore, make sure that the appliance is always earthed via the elec- trical installation. The connection must be made via a properly earthed safety socket (Schuko). ► Pay attention to the hazards that may be caused by the sprayed substance and also observe the labels on the containers or the instructions given by the manufacturer of the substance. ► When working indoors: Ensure that no vapours containing solvents form in the area around the appliance. Place the appliance on the side facing away from the spray object. Keep a minimum distance of 5 m between the motor unit and the spray gun. ► When working outdoors: Do not allow vapours containing solvents to drift towards the appli- ance. Pay attention to the wind direction! Position the appliance so that no vapours containing solvents can reach and build up around the appliance. Keep a minimum distance of 5 m between the appliance and the spray gun.PAFS 550 A1 ■ 8 

WARNING! ► There is a risk of a short-circuit if water pene- trates the appliance! Never clean the appli- ance with a high-pressure or steam cleaner. ► Do not use a solvent container with a small opening to clean the appliance. An explosive atmosphere could form. Earth the container beforehand. Safety instructions for the high-pressure hose DANGER! ■ Caution: Risk of injury from injection! Leaks can develop in the high-pressure hose due to wear, kinking and improper use. Fluid from the leak can be injected into the skin. ■ The electrostatic charge from the spray gun and high-pressure hose is discharged via the high-pressure hose. ■ Check the high-pressure hose thoroughly before each use. ■ Never pull on the high-pressure hose to move the appliance. ■ Never try to repair a defective high-pressure hose yourself! ■ Replace a damaged high-pressure hose immedi- ately. ■ Avoid sharp bending or kinking; the smallest bending radius is about 20 cm. ■ Protect the high-pressure hose from sharp objects and edges. ■ Never twist the high-pressure hose. ■ Do not immerse the high-pressure hose in solvent. Wipe the outside only with a soaked cloth. ■ Route the high-pressure hose so that there is no risk of tripping. ■ Do not run over the high-pressure hose (with a trolley, etc.). NOTE ► The risk of damage increases with old high- pressure hoses. We recommend replacing the high-pressure hose every 6 years. Original accessories/attachments WARNING! ► Do not use any accessories that are not recommended by PARKSIDE. You can order spare parts and accessories from the tele- phone numbers given in the section "Service". RESIDUAL RISKS When using the tool, additional residual risks may occur that are not listed in the enclosed safety instructions. These risks can arise from misuse, prolonged use, etc. Even if you follow the relevant safety regulations and use safety equipment, certain residual risks cannot be avoided.

 9 ■ Working procedures NOTE ► Ensure that the spray material and thinning agent are compatible. Using an unsuitable thinning agent may cause clots that clog the appliance. ► To find out which thinning agent is suitable for your spray material (water, paint thinner), refer to the manufacturer's notes provided with the spray material. ► Granular products and products containing solids must not be sprayed. Their abrasive effect will shorten the service life of the appliance. Preparing the spray surface WARNING! ► Risk of electric shock due to penetrating spray material! Be sure to mask any sockets and switches. ♦ Cover any surfaces around the spray area extensively and thoroughly. Any surface that is not masked could become contaminated. ♦ Make sure that the spray surface is clean, dry and free of grease. ♦ Polished surfaces should be lightly sanded and the sanding dust removed. Spraying technique ♦ Always hold the paint spray gun at the same distance and at a right angle to the object. The ideal spraying distance is approx. 20–30cm. Move the paint spray gun evenly with your whole arm (see fig. J). ♦ Determine the appropriate settings in each case by experimenting, e.g. on a piece of cardboard. ♦ Do not switch the appliance on/off above the spray area, but start and stop the spraying process approx. 10 cm outside the spray area. Preparing the paint ♦ Store the paint in a temperature-controlled room at 20–25°C for approx. 12 hours. Do not warm the paint using an external heat source! ♦ If applicable, comply with any special instruc- tions for spray gun application provided by the paint manufacturer on the paint containers. Always maintain a temperature of 20–25°C! Also take the temperature of the surface you are spraying into account. ♦ Stir the undiluted paint carefully for 10–15minutes using a paint stirrer. ♦ Fill the supplied viscosity cup (DIN 4 mm)y to the brim with the paint. ♦ Lift the viscosity cup y out of the paint and allow the liquid to run out. ♦ Measure the time (in seconds) until the stream of liquid stops. This time is called "DIN seconds (DIN/sec)". The recommended viscosity is approx. 45–55DIN/sec. CAUTION! ► If the viscosity is too high, the machine will clog and could be damaged; if it is too low, the paint will not adhere well to the surface. ♦ If the value is greater than 55DIN/sec, add 100ml of water and stir again for 5 minutes. ♦ Measure the DIN seconds again. Repeat the process until you achieve a viscosity of less than 55 DIN/sec. ♦ Filter the diluted paint using a fine mesh filter. Use only this paint when spraying.PAFS 550 A1 ■ 10
