Read and ensure that you understand all of the operating instructions, safety precautions and warnings in this Instruction
Manual before operating or maintaining this compressor. Most accidents that result from compressor operation and
maintenance are caused by the failure to observe basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by
recognizing a potentially hazardous situation before it occurs, and by observing appropriate safety procedures. Hazards
that must be avoided to prevent bodily injury or machine damage are identified by warnings on the compressor and in this
Instruction Manual. Never use this compressor or modify it in any way that has not been specifically recommended by the
manufacturer. Contact a qualified electrician for advice on any issues relating to electrical safety in your working environment.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Ensure that you check the equipment thoroughly to ensure it is safe and fit for purpose before each use. It is important that
you inspect all plugs, sockets, power cables and electrical fittings for wear and damage and repair or replace any defective
components. The risk of electric shock can be minimised by the correct use of the appropriate electrical safety devices.
For products that require a connection of a 415V supply you should contact a qualified electrician to ensure
that a suitable rated supply is available. We recommend that you discuss the installation of an industrial round
pin plug and socket with your electrician based on the compressor specifications.
•
We recommend that you fit a
Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB)
in the main distribution board and that a
Residual Current Device
(RCD)
is used when operating this equipment.
•
The
Electricity at Work Act 1989
includes legislation that places legal implications on employers to ensure the safety of electrical devices
in the workplace. The regulations dictate that all portable equipment must be inspected regularly and tested to ensure that it is safe for use.
'Portable equipment' means any electrical item that can be moved and this is often referred to as
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)
. PAT
testing should be carried out regularly on this equipment by trained, authorised personnel, as required by the legislation.
•
The
Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
states that it is the responsibility of the owner of electrical appliances to ensure that both the
equipment and working environments are maintained to ensure safe operation at all times.
•
Check that all equipment cables are secure, correctly insulated, free from damage, and protected against short circuit and overload before
connecting to the power supply. Do not use worn or damaged cables, plugs, sockets or other fittings.
•
Ensure that the power supply matches voltage requirements specified on the equipment.
•
Ensure the power cable is kept away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
•
We recommend that the equipment is connected directly to the power supply without the use of extension leads as the resulting voltage drop
can reduce motor and pump performance.
•
Always disconnect the compressor from the power source and remove the compressed air from the air tank before servicing, inspecting,
maintaining, cleaning, replacing or checking any parts.
•
Do not carry the compressor while it is connected to its power source or when the air tank is filled with compressed air. Be sure the pressure
switch is in the
“Off”
position before connecting the compressor to its power source.
•
Do not use the compressor in damp / wet conditions.
•
IMPORTANT:
During electrical installation please ensure that the motor is wired to turn in the
direction indicated on the motor cowl / cover (see
Fig 8.
) Failure to ensure the correct direction of
rotation will prevent the flywheel from delivering the necessary air-cooling across the pump.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
EQUIPMENT SAFETY
•
Never place your hands, fingers or other body parts near the compressor’s moving parts during operation. Ensure that the equipment is
isolated from the power supply and all switches in the
OFF
position before carrying out maintenance, repairs or adjustments.
•
Never operate this compressor without all guards or safety features in place and in proper working order. If maintenance or servicing requires
the removal of a guard or safety features, be sure to replace the guards or safety features before resuming operation of the compressor.
•
Always wear safety goggles or equivalent eye protection. Compressed air must never be aimed at anyone or any part of the body.
•
When not in use, the compressor should be stored in dry place. Keep out of reach of children. Keep children and animals away from the work
area.
•
Clear all work areas of unnecessary tools, debris, furniture etc. prior to use. Cluttered work areas can lead to injuries.
•
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery when operating this equipment. They can be caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair.
•
Follow instructions for lubricating this equipment as required.
•
Watch what you are doing and remove any potential distractions before use. Use common sense at all times.
•
Do not operate this equipment when you are tired or if you are under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication that makes you drowsy.
•
Check for the correct alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, condition of parts, mounting, and air leaks, and any other issues
that might affect the safe operation of this equipment. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by
an authorized Jefferson service centre unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual. Have defective pressure switches
replaced by an authorized service centre. Do not use compressor if the switch does not turn it on and off.
•
Operate the compressor according to the instructions provided in this manual. Never allow the compressor to be operated by children,
individuals unfamiliar with its operation or unauthorized personnel.
•
Keep all screws, bolts, and plates tightly mounted. Check regularly.
•
The motor air vent must be kept clean so that air can freely flow at all times. Check for dust build-up frequently and clean as required.
•
If the equipment appears to be operating unusually, making strange noises, or otherwise appears defective, stop using it immediately and
arrange for repairs by a authorized service centre.
•
Solvents such as petrol, thinner, benzine, carbon tetrachloride, and alcohol may damage and crack plastic parts. Do not wipe them with such
solvents. Wipe plastic parts with a soft cloth lightly dampened with soapy water and dry thoroughly.
•
Only use Jefferson approved replacement parts. Non-approved parts will void your warranty and can lead to malfunction and resulting
injuries. Genuine parts are available from Jefferson your dealer.
•
Do not modify the compressor for any use other than which it was designed for by the manufacturer. Do not tamper with or attempt to adjust
the tank, pressure switch or safety valve. Never strap anything to the tank. Do not subject the tank to impact, vibration, heat, abrasion or
corrosive materials.
•
Always contact an authorized service centre for advice on any repairs. Unauthorized modification may not only impair the compressor
performance but may also result in accident or injury to repair personnel who do not have the required knowledge and technical expertise to
perform the repair operations correctly.
•
When the compressor is not in use, ensure the pressure switch is turned off, disconnect the equipment from the power source and open the
drain cock to discharge the compressed air from the air tank.
•
To reduce the risk of burns, do not touch tubes, heads, cylinder and motors. During or immediately after use. Allow equipment to cool down
before carrying out maintenance, repairs or adjustments.
•
Never direct the output jet of air at persons or animals. Ensure air supply valve is turned
OFF
before disconnecting the air supply hose.
•
Read the all safety instructions for any tool or accessory used with the compressor and ensure the safe working pressure of any appliance
used exceeds the output pressure of the compressor. If you are using a spray gun it is important to ensure that the work area has sufficient
ventilation in place.
•
Do not operate in the vicinity of flammable liquids, gases or solids.
•
Do not operate the compressor without an air filter or restrict the air flow around the equipment.
•
When the compressor is not in use ensure that it is switched off, disconnected from the power supply and the air and moisture drained from
the tank.
