Maintenance and cleaning
WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!
Disconnect the appliance from the
compressed air supply.
NOTE
►
Thorough cleaning after every use is very
important for safety and operation. Other-
wise, the needle could get blocked and
proper operation of the appliance cannot
be guaranteed.
■
Wear suitable gloves when cleaning.
■
Do not use any hydrocarbon-based solvents
like benzene, ethyl chloride, etc., as these could
trigger chemical reactions with some of the
materials in the paint spray gun. This can lead
to dangerous reactions.
