should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock and personal injury. Read all these
instructions before attempting to operate this product
and save these instructions.
WORK AREA SAFETY
■ Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents. Do not leave tools or pieces of wood
on the product while it is in operation.
■ Do not use the product in dangerous environments. Do
not use the product in damp or wet locations or expose
to rain. Keep the work area well lit.
■ Keep children and visitors away. All visitors should
wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance from
the work area. Do not let visitors contact the product
while operating.
■ Never use the product in an explosive atmosphere.
Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
■ Should any electrical component of the product fail to
perform properly, turn off the power switch, remove
the battery pack from the product and replace before
resuming operation.
■ Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
■ Stay alert and exercise control. Watch what you are
doing and use common sense. Do not operate the
product when you are tired. Do not rush.
■ Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, neckties,
or jewellery which can get caught and draw you into
moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear are
recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
■ Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Everyday
eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses; they are
not safety glasses.
■ Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty.
■ Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation.
■ Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
■ Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form habit of
checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from the product before turning it on.
AIR COMPRESSOR USE AND CARE
■ Do not exceed the pressure rating of any component
in the system.
■ Protect material lines and air lines from damage
or puncture. Keep hose away from sharp objects,
chemical spills, oil, solvents, and wet floors.
■ Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each
use, making certain all connections are secure. Do not
use if defect is found. Purchase a new hose or notify
an authorised service centre for examination or repair.
■ Release all pressures within the system slowly. Dust
and debris may be harmful.
■ Store idle air compressors out of the reach of children
and other untrained persons. Air compressors are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
■ Maintain air compressors with care. Follow maintenance
instructions. Properly maintained products are easier to
control.
■ Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
affect the product’s operation. If damaged, have the
product serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained products.
■ Keep the exterior of the product dry, clean, and free
from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when
cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, or any strong solvents to clean the
product. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
deterioration of the enclosure plastic.

■ When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct other users. If you loan someone
this tool, loan them these instructions also.
