General safety advice for electrical power tools / Advice on use
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 danger-
ous 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) Use the electrical power tool, accesso-
ries, 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 condi-
tions and the task in hand. The use of
electrical power tools for purposes other than
those intended can lead to dangerous situations.
Additional safety advice
for paint spray guns
J
the spray gun must never be used for
spraying inflammable substances.
Spray guns must never be cleaned
using inflammable solvents.
J
If you do not know the level of danger
a substance presents, do not spray it.
J
Precise observation of the hazard
warnings, information and data
sheets available from the sprayed
medium manufacturer is essential.
J
Wear a breathing / dust mask!
The inhalation of paint mist and sol-
vent vapour is hazardous to health.
J
Work in adequately ventilated
spaces only.
J
Wear protective glasses!
J
never aim the spray at living
creatures.
J
Danger of explosion! Do not
use the device in environments con-
taining gases, open flames, fires or
gas-operated water heaters.
J
no SMoKInG!
J
Paint and solvents (thinners) must
have a flashpoint above 21°C.
Advice on use
Q
DIn-sec / Viscosity
Q
The Parkside paint spray gun PFSP 100 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
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
Q
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
