AIR COMPRESSOR USE AND CARE
■
Do not exceed the pressure rating of any component in the
system.
■
Protect material lines and air lines from damage or puncture.
Keep hose and power cord away from sharp objects, chemical
spills, oil, solvents, and wet floors.
■
Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each use, making
certain all connections are secure. Do not use if defect is found.
Purchase a new hose or notify an authorised service centre for
examination or repair.
■
Release all pressures within the system slowly. Dust and debris
may be harmful.
■
Store idle air compressors out of the reach of children and other
untrained persons. Air compressors are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
■
Maintain air compressors with care. Follow maintenance
instructions. Properly maintained products are easier to control.
■
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts, and any other condition that may affect the product’s
operation. If damaged, have the air compressor serviced before
using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained products.
■
Keep the exterior of the air compressor dry, clean, and free from
oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use
brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any strong
solvents to clean the unit. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of deterioration of the enclosure plastic.
SERVICE
■
When servicing use only identical replacement parts. Use of any
other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them
to instruct other users. If you loan someone this tool, loan them
these instructions also.
AIR COMPRESSOR SAFETY WARNINGS
■
Know your air compressor. Read operator’s manual carefully.
Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the specific
potential hazards related to this product. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
■
Drain tank of moisture after each day’s use. If unit will not be used
for a while, it is best to leave drain valve open until such time as it
is to be used. This will allow moisture to completely drain out and
help prevent corrosion on the inside of tank.
■
Risk of fire or explosion. Do not spray flammable liquid in a
confined area. Spray area must be well ventilated. Do not smoke
while spraying or spray where spark or flame is present. Keep
compressors as far from the spraying area as possible, at least
10 m (33 feet) from the spraying area and all explosive vapours.
■
Risk of bursting. Do not adjust regulator to result in output
pressure greater than marked maximum pressure of attachment.
Do not use at pressure greater than 10 bar (145 psi).
■
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to rain. Store
indoors.
■
Inspect tank yearly for rust, pin holes, or other imperfections that
could cause it to become unsafe.
■
Never weld or drill holes in the air tank.
■
Never use the air compressor with the guard removed.
■
Make sure the hose is free of obstructions or snags. Entangled
or snarled hoses can cause loss of balance or footing and may
become damaged.
■
Use the air compressor only for its intended use. Do not alter or
modify the unit from the original design or function.
■
Always be aware that misuse and improper handling of this
product can cause injury to yourself and others.
■
Never leave a tool unattended with the air hose attached.
■
Never point any air tool toward yourself or others.
■
Do not operate this air compressor if it does not contain a legible
warning label.
■
Do not continue to use a tool or hose that leaks air or does not
function properly.
■
Always disconnect the air supply and power supply before making
adjustments, servicing a product, or when a product is not in use.
■
Do not attempt to pull or carry the air compressor by the hose.
■
Your tool may require more air consumption than this air
compressor is capable of providing.
■
Always follow all safety rules recommended by the manufacturer
of your air tool, in addition to all safety rules for the air compressor.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
■
Never direct a jet of compressed air toward people or animals.
Take care not to blow dust and dirt towards yourself or others.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious injury.
■
Do not use this air compressor to spray chemicals. Your lungs
can be damaged by inhaling toxic fumes. A respirator may be
necessary in dusty environments or when spraying paint. Do not
carry while painting.
■
Inspect product cords and hoses periodically and, if damaged,
have them repaired at your nearest authorised service centre.
Constantly stay aware of cord location. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
■
Never use an electrical adaptor with this grounded plug.
■
Check for damaged parts. Before further use of the air compressor
or air tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting,
and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard
or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorised service centre. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious injury.
■
Never store a tool with an air line connected. Storing the tool while
connected to an air supply can result in unexpected operation,
firing or movement and possible serious personal injury.
■
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is
dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal
injury.
■
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by
the manufacturer or by an authorised service centre to avoid risk.
■
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them
to instruct others who may use this product. If you loan someone
this product, loan them these instructions also.
■
The machine shall be connected to a circuit protection device

protection devices of over current (10A, 220-240V, 50Hz).
■
Operate the machine from the front of the control panel.
■
When the machine is in operation, many parts of machine may
