Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in serious injury.
1) Work Area Safety
a)
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
d)
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use
of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
e) Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
2) Electrical Safety
a) Read the entire manual carefully and make sure you know how to switch the tool OFF in an emergency, before operating
the tool.
b) Save these instructions and other documents supplied with the tool for future reference.
c) The electric motor has been designed for 12V use ONLY. Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage
on the rating label.
d) If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an electrician or a power tool repairer in order to avoid a hazard.
e) Never touch the mains plug and the socket with wet hands or use the appliance in the rain.
f)
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
g)
Do not expose 12V Air Compressor to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
h)
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal Safety
a)
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c)
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d)
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
e)
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
