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 ground-
ed surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, 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 con-
ditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d. Do not use the cable for another purpose, for
example, carrying or hanging the power tool or
pulling the plug out of the socket.
Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving device parts. Damaged or coiled cables in-
crease the risk of an electric shock.
e. If you work with a power tool outdoors, only
use extension cables that are also suitable for
outdoor use.
Using an extension cable suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of an electric shock.
Only use approved and appropriately identified ex -
tension cables for use outdoors.
Only use cable reels in the unrolled state.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp loca-
tion is unavoidable, use a residual current
circuit breaker with a trigger current of
30 mA or less to protect the power supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
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 influence of drugs, alcohol or med -
ication.
A moment of carelessness when using electrical
tools can result in serious injuries.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce per-
sonal injuries.
4. Proper use
The compressor is designed to generate compressed
air for compressed-air driven tools which can be driv-
en with an air volume of up to approx. 133 l/min (e. g.
tire inflator, blow-out pistol and paint spray gun). Due to
the limited air output it is not possible to use the com-
pressor to drive tools with very high air consumption
(for example orbital sanders, die grinders and hammer
screwdrivers).
The compressor may only be operated in a dry and well
ventilated indoor space.
The machine may only be used in the intended manner.
Any use beyond this is improper. The user/operator, not
the manufacturer, is responsible for damages or inju-
ries of any type resulting from this.
Please observe that our equipment was not designed
with the intention of use for commercial or industrial
purposes. We assume no guarantee if the equipment
is used in commercial or industrial applications, or for
equivalent work.
5. General safety information
WARNING! Read all safety information, instructions, il-
lustrations and technical data for this electric tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future ref-
erence.
The term “power tool” used in the safety instructions
refers to mains-powered electrical tools (with a mains
cable) and battery-powered electrical tools (without a
mains cable).
Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive at-
mospheres, such as in the presence of flam -
mable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while op-
erating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
