ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety instructions for working with compressed

air and blasting guns

• The compressor pump and lines can become

very hot during operation. Touching these parts
will burn you.

• The air which is sucked in by the compressor must

be kept free of impurities that could cause fires or

explosions in the compressor pump.

• When releasing the hose coupling, hold the hose

coupling piece with your hand. This way, you can
protect yourself against injury from the rebound-
ing hose.

• Wear safety goggles when working with the blow-

out pistol. Foreign bodies or blown off parts can
easily cause injuries.

• Do not blow at people with the blow-out pistol and

do not clean clothes while being worn. Risk of in-
jury!

Safety information for paint spraying

•

Do not process any paints or solvents with a flash

point below 55° C. There is a risk of explosion!

tive filter units (face guards). Also, adhere to the

safety information provided by the manufacturers
of such liquids.
