– 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
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
u
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.
Work preparation
Spraying on the sides of water bodies (lakes, rivers,
u
etc.) or neighbouring surfaces in the direct catchment
area is not permitted.
When purchasing paint, lacquer and spray material, pay
u
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.
Carefully mask off plug sockets and switches. Un-
u
covered plug sockets and switches may cause a short-cir-
cuit and increase the risk of electric shock.
Preparing the spray material
When diluting, make sure that the spray material and
u
the diluting agent are compatible. When using a faulty
diluting agent, lumps can develop that can lead to clog-
ging of the spray gun.

When diluting the spray material, make sure that the
u
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.
Note the specifications of the paint manufacturer re-
u
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.
