Westfalia ASP18 Instruction Manual page 16

 During painting no ignition source (e.g. open flames, lid cigarettes, lamps not protected
against explosion etc.) may be present, because during painting explosive gases may be
formed.
 Solvents and coating materials can be easily inflammable or combustible if they are spilled
or sprayed. Always follow the warnings and safety information of the paint or solvent
manufacturers.
 With daily use, clean the air spray gun preferably with a washing device for spray
equipment. Do not let the spray gun for a long time in the washing machine.
 Do not use solvents or cleaning fluids based on halogenated hydrocarbons, such as 1.1.1-
Trichlorethane and Methylenechloride, chemical reactions can occur on the gun as well as
on galvanized parts (1.1.1-Trichlorethane with small quantities of water reacts to
hydrochloric acid). Thus the parts may oxidate; in the worst case the reaction cause an
explosion.
 When working with potentially explosive material, keep in mind that static charges may
result from circumstances such as cleaning of non-conductive parts with cloth, the flow of
liquids or air through hoses, when spray painting, etc.
 Do not continue using a damaged air tool. Do not open the unit and do not try to repair it
yourself. In case of questions or problems contact a professional or our customer service.
 Have a fully functioning fire extinguisher available at all times.
 Periodically check all nuts, bolts and other fixings and tighten where necessary.
 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.
Additional Battery and Charger Safety Notes
WARNING: Li-Ion batteries, if incorrectly used, stored or charged are a fire, burn and explosion
hazard.
Use the battery charger correctly
 Refer to the section of this manual relating to use of the battery charger before
attempting to charge the battery.
 Do not attempt to use the charger with any batteries other than those supplied. Failure
to follow these instructions may cause overheating or fire.
 When battery pack is not in use, make sure the battery pack cannot be shorted
accidentally. Keep the battery clean at all times. Keep it away from other metal objects,
like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
 Allow batteries to cool for 15 minutes after charging or heavy use. Failure to follow
these instructions may cause overheating or fire.
 Use only chargers recommended by the manufacturer to charge the batteries. If a
charger is not suitable for a certain kind of battery there is a risk of fire. Only use Li-Ion
batteries provided with a product or specifically designed to be compatible.
 Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
 The unit is designed for operation in altitudes of up to 2000 m above sea level.
 Keep the battery out of reach of children.
