Prior to transporting the compressor make sure that
the pressurised air is bled from the tank and that the
compressor is firmly secured.
Note.
Never transport pressurised tanks. Prior to
transporting the air compressor make sure the tank has
been completely drained of air.
•
Protect the air hose and cordset from damage. Inspect
for weak or worn spots regularly and replace if necessary.
•
Do not use an extension cord with this product. Use
additional air hose instead of an extension cord to
prevent power loss and possible damage to the motor.
Use of an extension cord voids the warranty.
•
After long working periods external metal parts could be hot.
•
Always shut off the compressor at the on/off switch by
lifting the lever to the off position prior to switching off the
power or removing the power plug.
•
Check the oil level before starting the compressor every time.
•
Make sure the compressor is on a level surface prior to
checking the oil level.
•
The oil level is required to line up with the red dot on the
oil level sight glass prior to use.
•
Use only oil grade specified in this instruction manual.
Note.
The compressor is supplied empty of oil. It must be
filled with oil before first use.
•
After using the compressor, switch off the on/off switch,
disconnect the power supply and open the outlet valve to
release the pressure.
•
Do not attempt to remove any part of the machine whilst
it is under pressure.
•
Ensure that the lubricating oil is clean and that the oil
level is maintained at the correct level. Replace the oil
as indicated in the Maintenance section of this Manual.
•
Use safety equipment including safety goggles or
shield, ear protection, breathing or respirator mask
and protective clothing.
Wear goggles
Wear earmuffs
Wear a breathing mask
Never apply the outlet air of this compressor directly on to
any part of a person’s body. Do not attempt to block the air
outlet with your finger or any part of your body.
The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any use
other than those mentioned in this Manual will be considered a
case of misuse. The user and not the manufacturer shall be liable
for any damage or injury resulting from such cases of misuse.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for any changes made
to the tool nor for any damage resulting from such changes.
Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to
eliminate all residual risk factors. The following hazards may
arise in connection with the tool’s construction and design:
•
Damage to the lungs if an effective breathing mask is
not worn.
•
Damage to hearing if effective earmuffs are not worn.
•
Damage to the eyes if effective safety goggles or shield
are not worn.
WARNING.
In the event that an air line is cut or broken, the
air supply must be turned off at the compressor. A broken
air line which is not supported is extremely dangerous and
can whip around very quickly, both with the capability of
striking people, and blowing foreign particles into the air.
Do not attempt to catch the air line but immediately keep
bystanders well clear and turn off the air supply to the hose,
turn off the compressor at the On / Off switch, and then
remove the hose from the compressor.
