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
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
If you do not know how dangerous a sub-
stance is, do not spray it.
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.
General safety advice / Advice on use
J No smoking!
J
Easily flammable or explosive liquids (e.g.
petrol, spirit) must not be sprayed or used for
cleaning.
J
Paint and solvents (thinners) must have a flash-
point above 21°C.
J
Precise observation of the hazard warnings,
information and data sheets available from the
sprayed medium manufacturer is essential.

Advice on use

Q

DIN-sec / Viscosity

Q
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.

Preparing the sprayed medium

Q
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!
