3 Safety and Responsibility
3.1 Basic instructions
The machine is manufactured to the latest engineering standards and acknowledged safety regula‐
tions. Nevertheless, dangers can arise through its operation:
■ danger to life and limb of the operator or third parties,
■ impairments to the machine and other material assets.
Disregard of warning or safety instructions can cause serious injuries!
➤ Use this machine only if it is in a technically perfect condition and only for the purpose for
which it is intended; observe all safety measures and the instructions in the service manual.
➤ Immediately rectify (have rectified) any faults that could be detrimental to safety.
3.2 Specified use
The machine is intended solely for generating compressed air for industrial use. Any other use is
considered incorrect. The manufacturer is not liable for any damages that may result from incorrect
use. The user alone is liable for any risks incurred.
➤ Comply with the instructions in this operating manual.
➤ Ensure that installation conditions are being kept to.
➤ Operate the machine only within its performance limits and under the permitted ambient condi‐
tions.
➤ Do not use compressed air for breathing purposes unless it is specifically treated.
➤ Do not use compressed air for any application that will bring it into direct contact with foodstuffs
unless it is specifically treated.
3.3 Improper use
Improper usage can cause damage to property and/or (severe) injuries.
➤ Only use the machine as intended.
➤ Never direct compressed air at persons or animals.
➤ Do not touch hot components during operation or after shutdown. Wait until they have cooled
before touching!
These components include, for example, cylinder heads, compressed air lines, coolers, motors
and machine heating systems.
➤ Always switch off the compressor and disconnect it from the mains power supply when not in
use.
➤ In order to prevent injury, keep children away from the compressor work area and its associ‐
ated compressed air equipment.
➤ Children are not allowed to operate the compressor.
➤ Use hot cooling air for heating purposes only if there is no risk to the health of humans or ani‐
mals. If necessary, hot cooling air should be treated by suitable means.
