1. NEVER TOUCH MOVING PARTS Never place your hands, fi ngers or other body parts near the compressor’s moving parts.
2. NEVER OPERATE WITHOUT ALL GUARDS IN PLACE 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 feature before resuming operation of the compressor.
3. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION Always wear safety goggles or equivalent eye protection. Compressed air must never be aimed
at anyone or any part of the body.
4. PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigeration enclosures. Never operate the compressor in damp or wet locations.
5. DISCONNECT THE COMPRESSOR 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.
6. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING Do not carry the compressor while it is connected to its power source or when the air tank is
fi lled with compressed air. Be sure the knob of the pressure switch in the “OFF” position before connecting the compressor to its power
source.
7. STORE COMPRESSOR PROPERLY When not in use, the compressor should be stored in dry place. Keep out of reach of children.
Lock-out the storage area.
8. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN Cluttered areas invite injurues. Clear all work areas of unnecessary tools, debris, furniture etc…

10. DRESS PROPERLY Do not wear loose clothing or jewerly.They can be caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair.
11. DON’T ABUSE CORD Never yank it to disconnect from receptable. Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp edges.
12. MAINTAIN COMPRESSOR WITH CARE Follow instructions for lubricating. Inspect cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired
by authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged.

15. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS AND AIR LEAK Before further use of the compressor, a guard or other part is damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, air leak, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other
part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere
in this Instruction Manual. Have defective pressure switches replaced by authorized service center. Do not use compressor if switch
does not turn it on and off.
16. NEVER USE COMPRESSOR FOR APPLICATIONS OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED Never use compressor for applications other
than those specifi ed in the Instruction Manual. Never use compressed air for breathing or respiration.

condtions periodically.
19. KEEP MOTOR AIR VENT CLEAN The motor air vent must be kept clean so that air can freely fl ow at all times. Check for dust build-up
frequently.
20. OPERATE COMPRESSOR AT THE RATED VOLTAGE Operate the compressor at voltages specifi ed on their nameplates. If using
the compressor at a higher voltage than the rated voltage, it will result in abnormally fast motor revolution and mey damage the unit
and burn out the motor.
21. NEVER USE A COMPRESSOR WHICH IS DEFECTIVE OR OPERATING ABNORMALLY If the compressor appears to be operating
unusually, making strange noises, or otherwise appears defective, stop using it immediately and arrange for repairs by a authorized
service center.
22. DO NOT WIPE PLASTIC PARTS WITH SOLVENT Solvents such as gasoline, 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.
23. USE ONLY GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS Replacement parts not original may void your warranty and can lead to malfunction
and resulting injuries. Genuine parts are available from your dealer.
24. DO NOT MODIFY THE COMPRESSOR Do not modify the compressor. Always contact the authorized service center any repairs.
Unauthorized modifi cation 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.
25. TURN OFF THE PRESSURE SWITCH WHEN THE COMPRESSOR IS NOT USED When the compressor is not used, turn the knob
of the pressure switch OFF, disconnect it from the power source and open the drain cock to discharge the compressed air from the air
tank.
26. NEVER TOUCH HOT SURFACE To reduce the risk of burns, do not touch tubes, heads, cylinder and motors.
27. DO NOT DIRECT AIR STREAM AT BODY Risk of injury, do not direct air stream at persons or animals.
28. DRAIN TANK Drain tank daily or after 4 hours of use. Open drain fi tting and tilt compressor to empty accumulated water.
29. DO NOT STOP COMPRESSOR BY PULLING OUT THE PLUG Use the “ON/OFF” knob of pressure switch.
30. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED AIR HANDLING PARTS ACCEPTABLE FOR PRESSURE NOT LESS THAN 125 PSI (8.6 BAR) Risk
of bursting. Use only recommended air handling parts acceptable for pressures not less than 125 psi (8.6 bar).
REPLACEMENT PARTS
When servicing use only identical replacement parts.Repairs should be conducted only by authorized service center.
SAFETY
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This compressor should be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.The compressor is equipped with a three-
conductor cord and three-prong grounding type plug to fi t the proper grounding type receptacle. The green (or green and yellow) conductor
in the cord is the grounding wire. Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
EXTENSION CORD
Use only three-extension cords that have three-prong grounding type plugs and three-pole receptables that accept the compressor’s plug.
Replace or repair damaged cord. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
USE SECTION OF 4mm
2
VALID FOR A MAX LENGTH OF 20m single-phase
WARNING
Avoid electrical shock hazard. Never use this compressor with a damaged or frayed electrical cord or extension cord. Inspect all electrical
cords regularly. Never use in near water or in any environment where electric shock is possible
