IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Read and understand all of the operating instructions,
safety precautions and warnings in the Instruction
Manual before operating or maintaining this
compressor.
This useful work tool is composed of a solid casing and
inside presents, as indicated in the previous page, a
compressor and a reel with a compressed air hose. To
simplify the instructions outlined in the manual, we
have used the word “Compressor” to indicate this tool.
Most accidents that result from compressor operation
and maintenance are caused by the failure to observe
basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can
often be avoided by recognizing a potentially
hazardous situation before it occurs, and by observing
appropriate safety procedures.
Basic safety precautions are outlined in the “SAFETY”
section of this Instruction Manual and in the sections
which contain the operation and maintenance
instructions.
Hazards that must be avoided to prevent bodily injury
or machine damage are identified by WARNINGS on
the compressor and in this Instruction Manual.
Never use this compressor in a manner that has not
been specifically recommended by manufacturer.
WARNING: indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if ignored, could result in serious personal
injury.
CAUTION: indicates a hazardous situation which, if
ignored, could result in moderate personal injury, or
could cause machine damage.
NOTE: emphasizes essential information.
