plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric
shock.
fProtect the machine from rain and moisture. The pene-
trationof waterina power toolincreasesthe risk ofelectric
shock.
fDo not misuse the cord. Never use the cord for carry-
ing, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
fWhen operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable
for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
fWhen operating the power tool in damp/moist environ-
ments is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD).Use of a residual current device reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Personal safety
fUse safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dusk mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropri-
ate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Use and care of the power tool
fDo not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
fStore idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
fUse the power tool, accessories and application tools
etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of power tools for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
fHave yourpowertoolserviced byaqualified repair per-
son using only identical replacement parts. This will en-
sure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety Warnings for Fine-spray Systems
fKeep area clean well lit and free of paint or solvent con-
tainers, rags, and other flammable materials. Sponta-
neous combustion may occur. Fire extinguisher equip-
ment shall be present and working at all times.
fProvide for good ventilation in the spraying area and
for sufficient fresh air in the complete room. Evaporat-
ing inflammable solvents create an explosive environment.
fDo not use materials with a flashpoint below 21 °C for
spraying and cleaning. Use water-based materials,
non-volatile hydrocarbons or similar materials. Fast
evaporating solvents create an explosive environment.
fDonot sprayinthevicinintyofignitionsources,suchas
static electricity sparks, open flames, pilot lights, hot
objects, engines/motors, cigarettes and sparks from
plugging in or unplugging power cords or operating
switches. Such spark sources can ignite the spraying vi-
cinity/environment.
fDo not spray any liquid of unknown hazard potential.
Unknown materials can create hazardous conditions.
fWear additional protective equipment such as appro-
priate protective gloves and protective masks or respi-
rators when spraying or handling chemicals. Wearing
protective equipment for the appropriate conditions re-
duces the exposure to hazardous substances.
fDo not direct the fine-spray system against yourself,
other persons or animals.
fDonottreat aninjectionasa simplecut.Ahigh-pressure
spray is able to inject toxins into the body and cause seri-
ousbodilyinjury.Intheeventthataninjectionoccurs,seek
medical attention immediately.
fBe aware of possible hazards from the spray material.
Observe the information on drums/tanks/tins as well
as manufacturer information of the spray material, in-
cluding the request to wear personal protective equip-
ment. The manufacturer's instructions are to be observed
in order to reduce the risk of fire as well as injuries caused
through toxins, carcinogens, etc.
fUse only nozzles/nozzle inserts specified by the manu-
facturer. Never spray without the nozzle protection
mounted. Use of a special nozzle insert with the corre-
sponding nozzle protection reduces the probability that a
high-pressure jet penetrates the skin and injects toxins in-
to the body.
fExercisecautionwhencleaningandchangingnozzlein-
serts. If the nozzle insert should become clogged dur-
ing spraying, follow the manufacturer's instructions
for switching off the system and relieving the pressure
before removing the nozzle. Fluids under high pressure
can penetrate the skin, inject toxins into the body and lead
to serious injury.
fKeep the plug of the mains cord and the trigger switch
of the spray gun clear of paint and other fluids. Never
hold the cord by its connectors to support it. Failure to
follow the instruction can lead to electric shock.
fSupervise children. This will ensure that children do not
play with the fine-spray system.
fChildren or persons that owing to their physical, senso-
ryormental limitations or to theirlackofexperience or
knowledge, are not capable of securely operating the
fine-spray system, may only use this fine-spray system
under supervision or after having been instructed by a
responsible person. Otherwise, there is danger of operat-
ing errors and injuries.

If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be
cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an author-
ised customer service agent. The replacement plug should
have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible
shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains sock-
et elsewhere.

Technical Data
Noise/Vibration Information
Measured sound values determined according to EN 60745.
Typically the A-weighted sound pressure level of the product
is 74 dB(A). Uncertainty K=3 dB.
The noise level when working can exceed 80 dB(A).
Wear hearing protection!
Vibration total values ah(triax vector sum) and uncertainty K
determined according to EN 60745:
ah<2.5m/s2, K= 1.5 m/s2.
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet
has been measured in accordance with a standardised test
given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with
another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of expo-
sure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main ap-
plications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different
applications,withdifferentaccessoriesorpoorlymaintained,
the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly in-
crease the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of thelevel of exposure to vibration should also
take into account the times when the tool is switched off or
when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may sig-
nificantly reduce the exposure level over the total working pe-
riod.

Operation
Preparing for Operation
fSpraying on the sides of water bodies (lakes, rivers,
etc.) or neighbouring surfaces in the direct catchment
area is not permitted.
When purchasing paint, varnish and spray material, pay at-
tention to their environmental compatibility.
Preparing the Spray Surface
Note: Cover off the vicinity of the spray surface thoroughly
and generously.
The spray mist contaminates the environment. When spray-
ing in enclosures, surfaces not covered can become contami-
nated.
The spray surface must be clean, dry and grease-free.
– Roughen smooth surfaces and then remove the sanding
dust.
Suitable spray materials and recommended diluting
agents
fWhen diluting, pay attention that the spray material
and the diluting agent correspond. When using a faulty
diluting agent, lumps can develop that can lead to clogging
of the spray gun.
The tool is not suitable for processing dispersion paint (wall
paint/latex).
Please also observe the practical advice/tips of the spray ma-
terial manufacturers.
Diluting Spray Material
For spray material that needs to be diluted, proceed as fol-
lows:
– Take the measuring cup 21.
– Stir the spray material thoroughly.
– Fill a sufficient quantity of spray material into the spray-
material container 8. (see “Filling in Spray Material”,
page 16)
– Dilute the spray material by 10 % with paint thinner. Exam-
ples:
– Stir the spray material thoroughly.
– Carry out a test-spray run on a test surface. (see “Spray-
ing”, page 17)
When the spraying pattern is perfect, start the spray job.
or
When the spraying result is not satisfactory or when no paint
comesout, pleasecontinueasdescribedunder“Correctionof
Malfunctions” on page 18.
Filling in Spray Material (see figures C1–C2)
fBefore any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
– Unscrew the container 8from the spray gun.
– Turn the suction tube 10 so that the spray material can be
sprayed with almost no residue:
– Fillthespray material into thecontainerandscrewthecon-
tainer firmly to the spray gun.

Bosch Power Tools 1 609 929 Y13 | (7.12.11)
Starting Operation
fObserve correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-
er source must agree with the voltage specified on the
nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with
230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
fPay attention that the base unit cannot draw in dust or
other contamination during operation.
fMake sure never to spray on the base unit.
Switching On
– Plug the mains plug into a socket outlet.
– Grasp the spray gun by the handle and point it at the spray
surface.
– Firstly, press the On/Off switch 18.
– Pull the trigger switch 9on the spray gun.
Note: When the base unit is switched on, air always flows out
at the nozzle 11.
Switching Off
– Release the trigger switch 9and press the On/Off switch
18.
– Pull the mains plug from the socket outlet.
Working Advice
Spraying (see figures D–E)
Note: Observe the wind direction when operating the power
tool outdoors.
– Firstly, carry out a test-sprayrun and adjust the spray pat-
tern and the spray material quantity accordingtothespray
material. (For adjustments, see the following sections)
– Makesureto hold thespraygun vertical tothesprayobject
at a uniform clearance between 5 – 15 cm.
– Begin the spraying procedure outside the target area.
– Move the spray gun evenly cross-wise or up-and-down, de-
pending on the spray pattern setting.
Anevensurface qualityisachievedwhenthe paths overlap
by4–5cm.
– Avoid interruptions within the spray surface.
Guiding the spray gun evenly will provide uniform surface
quality.
Non-uniform clearance and spray angle lead to heavy forma-
tion of paint mist and thus to an uneven surface.
– End the spraying procedure outside the target area.
Never spray the container completely empty. When the suc-
tion tube no longer immerses in the spray material, the spray
jet will break off, resulting in a non-uniform surface.
When coating material builds up on the nozzle and air cap,
clean both parts with the corresponding solvent.
Adjusting the Spray Pattern (see figure F)
fNever actuate the trigger switch 9 while adjusting the
air cap 2.
– Loosen the union nut 3.
– Turn the air cap 2to the requested position.
– Firmly retighten the union nut.
Adjusting the Spraying Capacity (see figure G)
– To adjust the requested spraying capacity, turn the thum-
bwheel 5:
I: Min. spraying capacity,
IIII: Max. spraying capacity.
Placing down the Spray Gun (see figure H)
For breaks, the spray gun can be hung in the holding clamp
16.
– Hang the spray gun with the union nut 3into the holding
clamp 16.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
fBefore any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
Cleaning (see figures I–K)
Proper cleaning is the requirement for flawless operation of
the spray gun. Improper or lack of cleaning voids warranty
claims.
