FOR SAFE OPERATIONS :
1. Keep work area clean
Cluttered or dark areas and benches invite accidents.
2. Consider work area environment
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, rain , gases or dust. Keep work area well
lit. Avoid working with power tools in damp or wet areas or when
perspiring . Store tools away from moisture. Do not use power tools
where there is risk to cause fire or explosion. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes .
3. Guard against electric shock
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces ( e.g . pipes,
radiators, ranges, refrigerators ).
4. Store idle tools
When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry, high or locked up place,
out of reach of children.
5. Do not force the tool
It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended .
6. Dress properly
Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working
outdoors .
7. Do not abuse the cord
Never carry the tool by the cord or yank it to disconnect it from the socket.
Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
8. Do not overreach
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
9. Disconnect tools
When not in use, before servicing and when changing accessories such
as spray tip, etc.
10. Use outdoor extension leads
When use the tool outdoors, use only extension cords intended for
outdoor use.
11 . Stay alert
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate tool
when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication .
12. Have your tool repaired by a qualified person
This electric tool is in accordance with the relevant safety requirement.
Repairs should only be carried out by qualified persons using original
spare parts, otherwise this may result in considerable danger to the user.
4
13. Do not use guns for spraying flammable materials.
14. Do not clean guns with flammable solvents.
15. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a
residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
16. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position
before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool.
17. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool.
18. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
19. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power
tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
20 . Use the power tool, accessories and tool etc. in accordance with
these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed.

HOW TO OPERATE YOUR SPRAY GUN PROPERLY?
Practice before painting- Test your sprayer on cardboard or scrap wood
especially when you operate the sprayer first time. 15-20 cm (6-8 inches) is
about the best distance for spraying.
■ The gun has two settings :
The trigger is first pressed down to
start motor and then increase pressure
on the trigger to pull the needle to
shoot paint out.
Always hold spray gun upright and spray parallel to the painting surface.
CORRECT
When spraying overhead (e.g. ceilings) or floors , be sure to adjust the angle
of suction tube; or the sprayer may fail to get the paints from the container
due to tilting. The vertical inclination should be not more than 70° to avoid
paints running up into the head of the gun through the air-cap .

• When spraying warm air, it might cause dried paint on the air-cap, so
please clean the air-cap with a wet tissue to enable it to work longer.
