•  

To avoid the risk of burns and injury from moving parts, 

do not operate the compressor with the safety shield 

removed. Allow hot parts to cool before handling or 

servicing.

•  

Be certain to read all the labels on the containers of 

paint or other materials to be sprayed. Closely follow 

all safety instructions. Use a respirator mask if there 

is a chance that you might otherwise inhale the spray 

material. Carefully check the effectiveness of any 

respirator mask you intend using.

•  

Always wear safety goggles or glasses when using the 

air compressor. Never point the nozzle of an accessory 

towards any part of your body or towards another 

person.

•  

Do not attempt to adjust the pressure switch or the 

release valve located under the pressure switch cover.

•  

Drain the moisture from the tank daily. It will help 

prevent corrosion.

•  

Pull the ring on the safety valve daily to ensure that 

it operating properly and to clear any possible instruc-

tions.

•  

Keep the compressor at least 300mm from the nearest 

wall to ensure adequate ventilation for cooling 

purposes.

•  

Before transporting the compressor make sure that 

the pressurised air is bled from the tank and that the 

compressor is firmly secured.

•  

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 press the on/off button down to switch off the 

compressor before switching off the power or removing 

the power plug. 

•  

Do not use the compressor without first checking the oil 

level. It must be close to the red circle as viewed on the 

oil gauge. 

 

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 

button, 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 or respirator 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 manu-

facturer 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.
