When tool is used outdoors, use extension cords only
intended for outdoor use.

It is recommended that a RCD (residual current
device) rated at 30mA is fitted into the mains supply
socket for added protection against electric shock.

Stay alert - Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense and do not operate tool when you are tired.

Always keep the spray basket nozzle in place during
use. Never allow the spray to come in direct contact

Never spray near a source of ignition, e.g. hot
surfaces, sparks, cigarettes, glowing wires & open
flames including appliance pilot flame.

The spray gun must not be used for spraying
flammable materials below flashpoint 21˚C.

Always beware of any hazards presented by the
material being sprayed and consult the markings on
the container or the information supplied by the
manufacturer of the material to be sprayed, including
requirements for the use of personal protective
equipment. Do not spray any material where the
hazard is not known.

The spray gun must not be cleaned with flammable
liquids below flash point 21˚C.

Check for damaged parts - Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, free running of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other
conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or
other part that is damaged should be properly
