General safety rules
Note:
When used in the following text, the terms
„compressed air unit“ or „device“ refer to the com-
pressed air unit specified in these instructions for use.
Basic safety measures must be
followed when using compressed air devices to elim-
inate the risk of fire, electric shock and personal in-
jury. Be sure to read and follow the notices within
these operating instructions prior to using the equip-
ment and store them in a safe location. The manufac-
turer assumes no liability for damages or personal
injury resulting from failure to follow these operating
instructions.
Persons (including children) who lack the knowl-
edge or experience to use the tool or whose
physical, sensory or intellectual capacities are
limited must never be allowed to use the tool
without supervision or instruction by a person
responsible for their safety.
Prevent children from playing with the device.
RISK OF INJURY!
Before
performing maintenance tasks, disconnect the
compressed air supply.
EXPLOSION HAZARD!
Never
use petrol or other flammable liquids
to clean the air tool! Sparks could
ignite residual vapours inside the compressed air
unit resulting in the compressed air unit explod-
ing. Do not use the device in explosive environ-
ments with flammable liquids, gasses or dust.
Never work on materials which are or could
potentially be highly flammable or explosive.
Only use the equipment in areas of application
for which it was designed!
Do not overburden the device.
Never use hydrogen, oxygen, carbon
dioxide or other bottled gasses to
power this tool as doing so may re-
sult in an explosion and thus may cause severe
injuries.
Maintain and clean the device regularly as in-
structed (see Chapter „Cleaning and storage“).
Check the device for damage before startup.
Always make sure that the device is in perfect
condition each time before use.
Always be attentive! Unexpected movement of
the device may cause hazards.
Avoid placing your body in an unnatural position.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
By doing this you will be in a better position to
control the compressed air unit in unforeseen
circumstances.
Do not use any device if its switch is defective.
A device that can no longer be switched on and
off is dangerous and must be repaired.
Store the device out of the reach of children when
it is not in use. Do not let anyone use the device
if he or she is not familiar with it or has not read
the instructions and advice. Compressed air units
are dangerous when they are used by inexperi-
enced people.
Maintain the device carefully. Check that mov-
ing device parts are working properly and move
freely. Check for any parts that are broken or
damaged enough to detrimentally affect the
functioning of the device. Have damaged parts
repaired before using the device. Many accidents
have their origins in poorly maintained devices.
Switch the device off if you do not use it anymore.
Always wear personal protective
equipment and safety glasses. Wear-
ing personal protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, safety
helmet or ear protectors, depending on the type
of air tool and its application, reduces the risk
of injuries.
Check the connections and supply lines. All
maintenance devices, couplings and hoses must
be equipped to meet the pressure and air amounts
specified in the device specific values. Pressure
that is too low influences the functioning of the
device; pressure that is too high can cause dam-
age to property and personal injury.
