Safety precautions:
Safety equipment
1.
Safety valve: Safety valve (calibrated to 10.5 bar) underneath the pressure switch. This is required to relieve overpres-
sure if the pressure switch is not working properly due to a possible malfunction. If the safety valve is triggered, the
machine must be switched off and serviced by a STORCH service partner.
2.
Pressure switch: Switches the compressor on automatically when the operating pressure falls below 4 bar and swit-
ches it off again as soon as the operating pressure reaches 5 bar.
3.
Cooling fan safety guard: Prevents accidental contact with the rotating cooling fan.
4.
Resettable thermal switch: Protects the electric motor in the event of a current overload and / or short-circuit. The
compressor can be reset by actuating the push-button.
5.
Manometer: Displays the current air pressure in the tank.
6.
Pressure gauge on the outlet: Displays the output pressure which can be adjusted via the pressure regulator.
CAUTION: Do not change, bridge and / or remove any safety equipment on the machine.
Only original replacement parts that are available from STORCH should be used for the compressor.
It is imperative you check all of the safety equipment on the machine regularly for proper functionality. Replace any
defective and / or damaged safety equipment immediately.
Personal protective equipment (PPE):
The operator is obligated to wear personal protective equipment that is appropriate for the use of the compressor and
any additional tools, such as: Gloves (heat resistant gloves) if maintenance work is required on a machine that has not
cooled down, ear protection (ear plugs) during all operating processes, foot protection (footwear with reinforced toe
caps) while transporting the machine, protective clothing (overalls) to protect against dust and spray mist, protective
goggles to protect against dust and spray mist, respiratory protection to protect against dust and spray mist.
Operators must not wear any clothing or jewellery which could become entangled in the machine.
