properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
g) Do not let familiarity gained from fre-
quent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety prin-
ciples.
A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of a second.
h)
Do not use on a ladder or unstable sup-
port. Stable footing on a solid surface ena-
bles better control of the tool in unexpected

4 POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a)
Do not exceed the pressure rating of
any component in the system. All hoses
and fittings must be suitable for use at the
maximum allowable pressure of the com-
pressor.
b) Protect material lines and air lines from
damage or puncture.
Keep hose and pow-
er cord away from sharp objects, chemical
spills, oil, solvents, and wet floors. Hoses
must be fitted with a safety wire for operat-
ing pressures above 7 bars.
c) Check hoses for weak or worn condition
before each use, making certain all con-
nections are secure. Do not use if defect
is found. Purchase a new hose or notify an
authorized service centre for examination
or repair.
d) Release all pressures within the system
slowly.
Dust and debris may be harmful.
e) Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
f) Maintain tools with care. Follow main-
tenance instructions. Properly maintained
tools are easier to control. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained tools.
g) Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect the
operation of the tool.
If damaged, have
the tool repaired before using.
h)
Never point any tool toward yourself or
others.
i) Keep the exterior of the air compressor
dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Always use a clean cloth when cleaning.
Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petrole-
um-based products, or any strong solvents

reduce the risk of deterioration of the en-
closure plastic.
j) Ensure compatibility of accessories be-
fore using.
k) Read and understand the operating
manual for any accessories or air tools
before using.

Use the power tool and accessories in
accordance with these instructions,

tions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a haz-
ardous situation.
