SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Before using your compressor it is in your own interest to read and pay attention 
to the following safety rules.

1.

Compressed air is dangerous. Do not point a jet of air at persons or animals, and do 
not discharge compressed air against the skin.

2.

DO NOT operate your compressor with the guard removed.

3.

Repairs must only be carried out by a qualified engineer. If problems occur, contact 
your Clarke dealer.

4.

Before carrying out any maintenance, make sure that the pressure is released from 
the air reservoir, and that the compressor is disconnected from the electrical supply.

5.

DO NOT leave pressure in the receiver overnight, or when transporting.

6.

DO NOT adjust, or tamper with the safety valves. The maximum pressure is factory 
set, and clearly marked on the compressor.

7.

DO NOT operate in wet or damp conditions. Keep the compressor dry at all times. 
Similarly, clean air will allow the compressor to work efficiently. Do not use in dusty or 
otherwise dirty locations. 

8.

Some of the metal parts can become quite hot during operation. Do not touch/
remove these until the compressor has cooled down.

9.

Always set the pressure regulator to the recommended setting for the tool.

10. When spraying flammable materials e.g. cellulose paint, ensure that there is 

sufficient airflow and keep clear of any source of ignition.

11. Before spraying any material always consult paint manufacturers instructions for 

safety and usage.

12. Protect yourself. Goggles will protect your eyes from flying particles. A face mask will 

protect you against paint spray and fumes.

13. Do not apply strain to electrical cables and make sure that air hoses are not kinked 

or wrapped around the compressor. 

14. When disconnecting air hoses or other equipment from your compressor, make sure 

that the air supply is turned off at the outlet and vent all compressed air from within 
the reservoir and other equipment attached to it. 

15. Make sure that children and animals are kept well away from the compressor and 

any equipment attached to it.

16. Make sure that all individuals using the compressor have had the necessary training 

and have read and fully understand these operating instructions.

17. Make sure that any equipment or tool used in conjunction with your compressor, has 

a safe working pressure exceeding that of the compressor.

18. Be 

very careful

 when transporting the compressor to prevent tipping over

19. Permanently installed systems must be installed by a competent engineer.

20. These compressors produce noise levels in excess of 70dB(A). Persons working near 

the compressor must be supplied with ear protection.
