 Construction machinery has to be inspected for their safe working
condition in accordance with the operating conditions and the
operational requirements as needed, however at least once a year
by an expert.
 Pressure vessels have to undergo the prescribed expert
inspections.
 The inspection results have to be documented and kept at least
until the next inspection.

Intended use of SWING airless L
2018-03-29 17
19 Intended use of SWING airless L
19.1 Intended purpose of SWING airless L
The tool is conceptualised and designed exclusively for the
purpose of use specified here.
Attention!
The S ING airless L sprays virtually all grain-free and
pasty materials. Any case of use beyond the specified
purpose of use and/ or any other sort of use of the tool
can lead to dangerous situations.
The S ING airless L is to be used only in technically
perfect condition as well as for its intended use and while
taking into account the safety and hazard information in
the operating instructions.
Particularly malfunctions that may compromise safety
have to be eliminated immediately prior to putting the
S ING airless L back into operation.
19.2 Intended purpose of the spray gun
Danger!
Combustible coating materials!
The spray gun may not be used to spray combustible
materials.
Danger!
xplosion protection!
Do not use the device in areas that come under the
explosion protection ordinance.
Danger!
Risk of explosion and fire while spraying due to
ignition sources.
No ignition sources may be present in the surroundings,
e.g. open fire, smoke from cigarettes, cigars and tobacco
pipes, sparks, glowing wires, hot surfaces, etc.

lectrostatic charge
18 2018-03-29
20 lectrostatic charge
20.1 The machine must be earthed
Danger!
lectrostatic charge!
Owing to the flow velocity of the coating material when
spraying, electrostatic charges may sometimes develop
on the device. These may attract sparks or result in
flames when discharging. So, ensure that the device is
always earthed via the electrical installation. The
connection must be established using a protective contact
socket that is earthed as per the regulations.
20.2 Ventilation
NOTE!
Ensure adequate natural or artificial ventilation to avoid
health hazards and the risk of fire and explosion.
21 Supply pressure
21.1 Supply pressure of the machine
Caution!
The mortar pressure of the pump is shown on the display.
21.2 Recoil of spray gun
Danger!
At high operating pressure, pulling the trigger results in a
recoil force.
In order to avoid injuries, the user must be ready to push
away his/her hand or lose his/her balance.
A continuous load through this recoil may damage health
permanently.

NOTE!
The permissi le operating pressure for the spray gun,
spray gun accessories and the high-pressure hose may

22 Safety rules
Caution!
Observe the regional safety rules for mortar
conveyors and mortar guns!
23 Description of SWING airless L
23.1 Functioning principle of SWING airless L
Fig. 14: Description
The feed pump of S ING airless L is a high-pressure pump and
can be used for operating pressures of up to 135 bar. The
operating pressure of the machine depends on the quality of the
material and the nozzle to be used.
It is used to apply coats, i.e. primarily spraying compound on
indoor walls.
 Pour the finished product into the material container.
 Use a spray gun to spray the material onto a wall at high
pressure.
24 Material:
24.1 Flowability / Flow characteristics
NOTE!
 The Airless 306 pump unit can be operated at a pressure of up to 135 bar.
 In order to avoid machine faults and increased wear of the pump motor, pump shaft and the
pump itself, only original PFT spare parts such as
 PFT rotors
 PFT stators
 PFT pump shaft
 PFT conveying hoses must be used.
 These are compatible with each other and form a constructive unit with the machine.
 Non-compliance does not only cause loss of guarantee, but also bad mortar quality is to be
expected.

25 Transport, packing and storage
25.1 Safety instructions for transport
Improper transport
ATT NTION!
Damage from improper transport!
Improper transport may cause substantial property
damage.
Therefore:
 hen unloading the packages on delivery as
well as transport within the company pay
attention and observe the symbols and
instruction on the package.
 Use only the specified anchorage points.
 Remove packaging only shortly before the
assembly.
Suspended loads
WARNING!
Danger to life from suspended loads!
hen lifting heavy loads there is danger to life from
falling parts or uncontrolled swinging parts.
Therefore:
 Never step under suspended loads.
 Observe the instructions regarding the provided
anchorage points.
 Do not fix to projecting machine parts or eyelets
of attached components.
 Ensure safe fitting of the sling gear.
 Use only approved lifting gear and sling gear
with sufficient lifting capacity.
25.2 Transport inspection
On receipt check the delivery immediately for completeness and
transport damage.
In case of externally visible transport damage, proceed as follows:
 Do not accept the delivery or under reserve only.
 Note the extent of damage on the transport documentation or
on the delivery note of the carrier.
 Initiate complaint process.
