Operation - Metabo SSP 1000 Original Instructions Manual

- The air tool must only be used for the intended
purpose.
- Caution with combustible materials.
- Only start work if you are well rested and focused.
- Never direct the air tool at persons or animals.
- The compressed air supply must be connected
via a quick-action coupling.
- The supply pressure setting must be made via a
pressure reducer.
- Never use oxygen or combustible gases as power
sources.
- Prior to maintenance work and troubleshooting,
disconnect the tool from the power source.
- Residual cleaning agent and paint must be
disposed of in accordance with local environ-
mental regulations.
- During operation, maintenance and cleaning of
the air tool, always wear protective equipment
approved for the application! Use suitable protec-
tive gloves, work clothing, safety goggles and
breathing protection with a filter element suitable
for the respective application!
- There is a risk of the injection of coating material
or cleaning fluid (e.g. when changing nozzles or
during cleaning)! Serious consequence can result
if the protective equipment is inadequate (e.g.
necroses, loss of limbs). There is also a risk in the
case of inhalation, contact or absorption of coating
materials or cleaning fluids. For this reason,
always provide adequate technical or natural
ventilation!
- Do not use the equipment in potentially explosive
atmospheres. Do not process materials that can
create potentially explosive atmospheres. Ensure
that only suitable compressed air is used!
Information in these operating instructions is cate-
gorised as shown below:
Danger! Risk of personal injury or environ-
mental damage.
Caution. Risk of material damage

6. Operation

6.1 Before using the tool for the first time
Insert plug-in nipple (6).
6.2 Preparing the air tool
SSP 1000
Screw off the container for the blasting material (7),
fill with blasting material and fully screw it back on.
SPP 1000:
Connect the air tool with quick-action coupling to
the compressed air supply. Actuate the trigger (5).
Using your thumb, check the negative pressure at
the suction hose. Turn the spray nozzle (2) until you
achieve optimum gun suction. Use the lock nut (3)
to retain this position.
UBS 1000:
Undercoating:
Attach the spray nozzle (2). Insert a standard,
commercial undercoating cartridge (with 40 mm
round thread).
Cavity sealing:
Remove the nozzle (2). In its place, screw the spray
hose (4) provided in as far as it will go.
6.3 Adjusting the air tool
(Only for SSP 1000)
The jet pressure of the jet nozzle can be changed
depending on the workpiece and air pressure.
1. Release the lock nut (3).
2. Turn the spray nozzle (1) to adjust.
Secure this setting using the lock nut (3).
6.4 Using the air tool
To benefit from the air tool's full performance,
always use compressed air hoses with an inner
diameter of at least 10 mm. Tool performance can
be significantly impaired if the inner diameter is too
small.
Caution. The compressed air line must not
contain any water condensation.
Caution. The compressed air used must be
cleaned and be free of condensate and oil.
1. Adjust the supply pressure (this is measured at
the air outlet while the air tool is switched on).
For details of the maximum permissible supply
pressure, see the section on "Technical Specifi-
cations".
2. Preparing the air tool. See section 6.2.
3. Connect the air tool with quick-action coupling
to the compressed air supply.
4. Actuate the trigger (6) to put the air tool into op-
eration.
