Safety Instructions
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and speci-
fications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or seri-
ous injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for fu-
ture reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) compressor.
1 WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Clut-
tered 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.
2 ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes, ra-
diators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
c)
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) 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.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for out-
door use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp loca-
tion is unavoidable, use a residual cur-
rent device (RCD) protected supply. Use
of an RCD reduces 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 influ-
ence 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 with side
shields, along with hearing protection.
Failure to do so could result in objects be-
ing thrown into your eyes and other pos-
sible serious injuries. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection used for ap-
propriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or bat-
tery 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 unex-
pected situations.
e)
Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewellery. Keep your hair, cloth-
ing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
f) If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection fa-
cilities, ensure these are connected and
