Assembly
 Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
 Ensure that the spray gun and base unit are assembled
completely and with all seals. Only this will ensure the
function and safety of the fine-spray system.
Connecting the Air Hose (see figures A1 – A2)
Connecting the base unit:
– Insert a bayonet lock 18 of the air hose securely into the
slots in the base unit port 24 according to the arrow marks.
– Turn the bayonet lock a quarter turn clockwise.
Connecting to the spray gun:
– Insert the second bayonet lock 18 of the air hose securely
into the slots in the spray gun port 4 according to the arrow
marks.
– Turn the bayonet lock a quarter turn clockwise.
Note: Remove the air hose 17 before pouring in spray materi-
al (quarter turn of the bayonet lock 18 counterclockwise; pull
the bayonet lock 18 out of the port 4).
Fastening the Carrying Strap (see figure B)
In order to reach all surfaces to be sprayed and maintain flex-
ibility, you can sling on the base unit with the carrying strap
22.
– Attach one strap end to each eyelet 25.
Changing the Nozzle Cap (PFS 2000)
(see figure C)
Note: Check the spray material by stirring it before selecting
the nozzle cap. Thin-viscosity material (e.g. wood paint) or di-
luted material can be sprayed better with the grey nozzle cap
8. Thicker-viscosity material (e.g. wood lacquer or wall paint)
can be sprayed better with the white nozzle cap 9.
– To change the nozzle cap, unscrew the union nut 3.
– Pull off the air cap 2 and the gasket 11.
– Unscrew the mounted nozzle cap.
When doing so, ensure that the O-ring 10 remains on the
nozzle cap.
– Screw the required nozzle cap into the thread in the spray
gun.
– Put the air cap 2 with the gasket 11 on the nozzle cap and
tighten it with the union nut 3.

Operation
 Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
Preparing for Operation
 Spraying on the sides of water bodies (lakes, rivers,
etc.) or neighbouring surfaces in the direct catchment
area is not permitted.
When purchasing paint, varnish and spray material, pay at-
tention to their environmental compatibility.
Preparing the Spray Surface
The spray surface must be clean, dry and grease-free.
– Roughen smooth surfaces and then remove the sanding
dust.
When spraying, all non-covered surfaces can be soiled by the
spray mist. Therefore, thoroughly prepare the area around
the surface to be sprayed:
– Cover or mask off floors, furnishings, doors, windows as
well as door and window frames, etc.
Preparing the Spray Material
– Stir the spray material thoroughly.
– Dilute the spray material if necessary.
Spray material
Wood stains, oils, glazes, impregna-
tions, anti-rust primers
Solvent-dilutable or water-dilutable
lacquers, primers, radiator lacquers,
thick-coat glazes
Emulsion paint, latex paint
 When diluting, pay attention that the spray material
and the diluting agent correspond. When using a faulty
diluting agent, lumps can develop that can lead to clogging
of the spray gun.
 When diluting the spray material, make sure that the
flash point of the mixture is above 55 °C again after di-
luting. Diluting e.g. solvent-based lacquers lowers the
flash point.
Filling in Spray Material (see figures D1 – D2)
Note: Remove the air hose 17 before pouring in spray materi-
al (quarter turn of the bayonet lock 18 counterclockwise; pull
the bayonet lock 18 out of the port 4).
– Unscrew the container 7 from the spray gun.
– Pour the spray material into the container 7 up to no more
than the 800 mark.
