– Attach one strap end to each eyelet (28) .
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
diluted material can be sprayed better with the grey nozzle
cap
(9) . Thick-viscosity material (e.g. wood lacquer or wall
paint) can be sprayed better with the white nozzle cap (10) .
– To change the nozzle cap, unscrew the cap nut (3) .
– Pull off the air cap (2) and the gasket (12) .
– Unscrew the mounted nozzle cap.
When doing so, ensure that the O-ring (11) remains on
the nozzle cap.
– Screw the required nozzle cap into the thread in the spray
gun.
– Put the air cap (2) with the spacer (12) on the nozzle cap
and tighten it with the cap nut (3) .
Operation
u
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
work on the power tool.
u
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.
Work preparation
u
Spraying on the sides of water bodies (lakes, rivers,
etc.) or neighbouring surfaces in the direct catchment
area is not permitted.
u
When purchasing paint, lacquer and spray material, pay
attention 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 contamin-
ated by the spray mist. Therefore, thoroughly prepare the
area around the surface to be sprayed:
– Carefully cover floors, furnishings, doors, windows as
well as door and window frames, etc. Painting substrate,
for example, is recommended for covering the floors.
– Fix the cover material in place. Cover material that is not
fixed in place securely can be detached or blown away by
the powerful air jet.
u
Carefully mask off plug sockets and switches. Un-
covered plug sockets and switches may cause a short-cir-
cuit and increase the risk of electric shock.
Preparing the spray material
u
When diluting, make sure that the spray material and
the diluting agent are compatible.
When using a faulty
diluting agent, lumps can develop that can lead to clog-
ging of the spray gun.
u
When diluting the spray material, make sure that the
flash point of the mixture is above 55 °C again after di-
luting.
Diluting substances such as solvent-based lac-
quers lowers the flash point.
u
Note the specifications of the paint manufacturer re-
lating to sprayability, e.g. in the technical information
sheet or data sheet. Make sure that you do not spray
any paints that are not suitable according to the man-
ufacturer's specifications.
– Stir the spray material thoroughly.
Using spray material at room temperature will yield a bet-
ter spray pattern.
– Dilute the spray material if necessary.
If the spray test does not produce a good spray pattern,
dilute in 5 % increments until an optimal spray pattern is
achieved.

Filling the spray material (see figures D1–D2)
Note:
Remove the air hose (20) before pouring in spray ma-
terial (quarter turn of the bayonet lock (21) anticlockwise;
pull the bayonet lock (21) out of the port (4) ).
– When using large buckets, pour the spray material into a
smaller transfer bucket (15) if necessary (e.g. 10 l wall
paint into an empty 2.5 or 5.0 l bucket).
– Unscrew the container (7) from the spray gun.
– PFS 2000 : If you are using already opened spray mater-
ial, place the thoroughly cleaned filling sieve (14) on the
container (7) to hold back any lumps of paint when pour-
ing in.
