Work breaks and transport (see figure K–L)
A carrying handle (23) is fitted to the base unit to enable
easy transport of the fine-spray system.
Wheels are fitted to the bottom of the base unit (22). You
can pull the base unit behind you by the air hose (20) during
work.
The spray gun (1)can be put down on a flat work surface dur-
ing breaks. No spray material can leak out.
Always put the spray gun upright on a flat surface
u
when it is filled with spray material. Spray material can
leak out from a spray gun if it is lying down.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep
u
the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
In order to avoid safety hazards, if the power supply cord
needs to be replaced, this must be done by Bosch or by an
after-sales service centre that is authorised to repair Bosch
power tools.
Thoroughly clean the individual parts of the fine-spray
u
system immediately after each use, especially all
paint-carrying components. Proper cleaning is a pre-
requisite for faultless and safe operation of the spray gun.
No warranty claims will be accepted if cleaning has not
been done at all or has not been done properly.
Cleaning After Using Water-Based Paints (see figure M)
Always clean the spray gun and the spray material container
with warm water.
Never clean the nozzle and air holes in the spray gun with
pointed objects.
– Switch off the base unit (22) and remove the air
hose (20) from the spray gun (1).
– Remove the container (7) from the spray gun (1).
Hold the container (7) underneath the suction tube (17)
and pull the trigger switch (5) on the spray gun so that the
spray material can flow back into the container.
– Empty the container (7).
The spray material can be stored in an airtight, sealed
paint container for other applications. Use the spare
container (8) with cover or the original spray material
container, for example, for this purpose.
– Clean the container (7).
– Remove the suction tube (17) with the container
seal (16) and rinse it thoroughly.
Reattach the suction tube (17) with the container
seal (16) to the spray gun.
