and advice. Electrical power tools are dan-
gerous when they are used by inexperienced 
people.
e)
Look after the device carefully. Check 
that moving parts are working prop-
erly and move freely. Check for any 
parts that are broken or damaged 
enough to detrimentally affect the 
functioning of the device. Have dam-
aged parts repaired before you use 
the device. Many accidents have their origins 
in poorly maintained electrical power tools.
f)
Keep cutting tools clean and sharp. 
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp 
cutting edges are less likely to jam and are 
easier to control.
g)
Use the electrical power tool, accesso-
ries, inserted tools etc. in accordance 
with these instructions and advice, and 
the stipulations drawn up for this par-
ticular type of device. In doing this, take 
into account the working conditions 
and the task in hand. The use of electrical 
power tools for purposes other than those in-
tended can lead to dangerous situations.
5. Service
a)
Have your device repaired at the ser-
vice centre or by qualified specialist 
personnel using original manufacturer 
parts only. This will ensure that your device 
remains safe to use.
Additional safety advice
for paint spray guns
The spray gun must never be used for 
spraying inflammable substances. 
Spray guns must never be cleaned 
using inflammable solvents.
If you do not know the level of danger 
a substance presents, do not spray it.
Precise observation of the hazard 
warnings, information and data 
sheets available from the sprayed 
medium manufacturer is essential.
Wear a breathing / dust mask! 
The inhalation of paint mist and sol-
vent vapour is hazardous to health.
Work in adequately ventilated 
spaces only.
Wear protective glasses!
Never aim the spray at living 
creatures.
DANGER oF ExPLoSIoN! Do 
not use the device in environments 
containing gases, open flames, fires 
or gas-operated water heaters.
No SMoKING!
Paint and solvents (thinners) must 
have a flashpoint above 21°C.

Q
DIN-sec / Viscosity
The Parkside paint spray gun PFS 100 B2 can be 
used to apply sprayed media with a viscosity up to 
80 DIN-sec. Viscosity is determined in a simplified 
measuring procedure using the supplied measuring 
cup (see Fig. C).
1. Immerse and fill the supplied measuring cup
12
to the top with the medium to be sprayed.
2. Lift the measuring cup
12
out of the medium
to be sprayed and let the liquid flow out (see 
Figure C).
3. Measure the time in seconds it takes for the
flow of liquid out of the measuring cup to cease. 
This time is the “DIN-seconds (DIN-s)” value of 
viscosity.
4. If the value is too high, incrementally add and
mix in small quantities of a thinner compatible 
with the medium to be sprayed. Proceed in ac-
cordance with the section about “Preparing the 
sprayed medium”.
