VITO VICOC200B, Instruction Manual

Page: 37 / 64

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 consider a few precautions and procedures before
start-up:
▪
Check that all appliance and attachments 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 reset 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 distributor.
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.
Everyone 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 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 attachments
reach high temperatures. To avoid burns, do not touch
these elements.
