  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 instructions.

   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 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 button, and then 

remove the hose from the compressor.
