5 COMPRAG Screw air compressor F-Series
5. Compressed air is an extremely hazardous energy source. Compressed air must not be
used for unintended purposes! Do not use it to clean clothing and footwear and never point
compressed air hoses at people and animals! When using air to clean equipment, take
extra caution and wear safety goggles!
6. All maintenance, repair, setup and installation work etc. must be performed while the
equipment is turned off, disconnected from the power source, with compressed-air hoses
disconnected from the equipment, and with the use of safety goggles! Ensure that equip-
ment is disconnected from the compressed air system and is not under pressure.
1.3 Safety precautions for start-up
The user is solely liable for injuries or damages which occur due to
non-compliance with safety guidelines during installation, operati-
on or servicing, as well as unauthorised use of equipment!
1. Equipment must only be unloaded/loaded using the appropriate handling devices or
hoisters. Equipment must not be manually lifted or moved. Do not leave equipment sus-
pended. Use a helmet during unloading operations.
2. Arrange the equipment in a dry and clean facility which provides shelter from precipitation.
The facility must be well ventilated, and forced ventilation should be provided if necessary.
3. Worn, damaged or spoiled compressed-air hoses should not be used. Ensure that hoses
correspond to the equipment in terms of nominal diameter and working pressure.
4. When using several compressor stations in a system, each compressor must have a manu -
ally operated valve for cutting off any of the compressors in the case of emergency.
5. Explosive and fire-hazardous admixtures such as solvent vapours and carbon dust etc.
must not be released into the atmosphere.
6. Ensure unrestricted access to the compressed-air hose from the compressor. Do not clut-
ter it and do not store flammable materials in its immediate vicinity.
7. Do not pinch or deform the compressed-air feed hoses.
8. Do not cover holes used to provide equipment with air for cooling. Ensure the facility is well ventilated.
9. When using remote control, the equipment must give a legible and clear warning of this:
‘ATTENTION: this machine is being controlled remotely and may start operating without warn-
ing!’ An operator who is remotely controlling equipment must ensure that no installation or
other work is being performed with the equipment at that moment. Once the equipment is
turned off remotely, the operator must ensure that the equipment is actually turned off!
10. Equipment must be earthed. Provide short-circuit protection. The starting knife switch
must be in the immediate vicinity of the equipment and protect against unauthorised start-up.
