Ensure all screwed connections are
fully tightened at all times.
• Do not attempt to repair the ma-
chine yourself! Only trained special-
ists are permitted to service or re-
pair compressors, pressure vessels
and air tools.

ed compressed air!
•
Use lubricated compressed air only
for air tools requiring such supply.
• Do not use an air hose used to sup-
ply compressed air containing oil to
supply air tools not designed for op-
eration on compressed air contain-
ing oil.
•
Do not fill tyres with lubricated com-
pressed air.
