Before operating
Individuals who have not read the instruction manual
and are not familiarized with how to operate the air
compressor must not use it.
To ensure that you work with the power tool safely, you
should take into account a few precautions and
procedures before start-up:
▪
Check that all appliance and attachable accessories
are assembled correctly and in good condition. If
there is damage or excessive wear, replace the parts
and accessories. Never use parts or accessories that
are damaged;
▪
Check for misalignments, blockages or damage to
moving/rotating parts, or any other condition that
could affect the compressor operation. All moving
parts should rotate smoothly, without abnormal
noise;
▪
Make sure the switch is off when you plug in the
power cord. If the ON/OFF switch is damaged or does
not allow the operation of the power tool to be
controlled, it must be repaired or replaced in order to
prevent any unintentional start. Never use
equipment where the switch cannot be turned on
and off;
▪
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the air compressor on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury;
▪
Make sure the safety devices are in perfect condition
and function correctly. Never operate the air
compressor if the safety devices are missing,
inhibited, damaged or worn out;
▪
Safety devices and damaged parts must be repaired
or replaced in a service center;
Make all adjustments and work necessary for the
correct assembly of the air compressor if you have any
questions or difficulties, contact your official dealer.
While operating
Keep third parties away from the air compressor’s
area of operation. Never work while animals or
people, especially children, are in the danger zone.
Keep the work area clean, organized and well lit (250 to
300 lux light), thus decreasing the risk of accidents.
Always wear personal protective equipment and
clothing. Wearing a visor or goggles, dust mask, hearing
protection, anti-slip safety shoes, long-sleeved clothing,
gloves and helmet properly reduces the risk of injury.
Each individual coming into the working area must wear
personal protective equipment. Objects can fly off while
the compressor is running and accidently harm whoever
is nearby.
Clothing worn during the appliance operation must be
adequate, tight and closed, for example, a work boiler
suit. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
The control and safety devices installed must not be
removed or inhibited.
Always keep in place the rotating parts guards.
Make sure that the ventilation slots are not clogged. Do
not place any objects over the ventilation slots.
During compressor operation, some parts and
accessories reach high temperatures. To avoid burns, do
not touch these elements.
