SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with their operation
and use. Exercising respect and caution will considerably lessen the risk of
personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked, or
ignored, personal injury to the operator, or damage to property may result.
It is in your own interest to read and pay attention to the following rules:
1.
COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS,
NEVER
direct a jet of air at people or animals,
and
NEVER
discharge compressed air against the skin.
2.
ALWAYS
adjust the pressure regulator to the recommended setting for the particular
spray gun or tool being used.
3.
ALWAYS
protect yourself. Think carefully about any potential hazards which may be
created by using the air compressor and use the appropriate protection. e.g. Goggles
will protect your eyes from flying particles. Face masks will protect you against paint
spray and/or fumes.
4.
ALWAYS,
when spraying inflammable materials e.g. cellulose paint, ensure that there is
adequate ventilation and keep clear of any possible source of ignition.
5.
ALWAYS
ensure that all individuals using the compressor have read and fully understand
the Operating Instructions supplied.
6.
ALWAYS
ensure that any equipment or tool used in conjunction with your compressor,
has a safety working pressure exceeding that of the machine.
7.
ALWAYS
make sure that children and animals are kept well away from the compressor
and any equipment attached to it.
8.
ALWAYS,
before spraying any material always consult paint manufacturers instructions
for safety and usage.
9.
ALWAYS,
when disconnecting air hoses or other equipment from your compressor ensure
that the air supply is turned off at the machine outlet and expel all pressurised air from
within the machine and other equipment attached to it.
10.
DO NOT
adjust, or tamper with the safety valves. The maximum pressure is factory set,
and clearly marked on the machine.
11.
DO NOT
leave pressure in the receiver overnight, or when transporting.
12.
DO NOT
operate your compressor with any guards removed.
13.
DO NOT
exert any strain on electrical cables and ensure that air hoses are not tangled
or wrapped around machinery etc.
14.
DO NOT
operate in wet or damp conditions. Keep the machine dry at all times. Similarly,
a clean atmosphere will ensure efficient operation. Do not use in dusty or otherwise
dirty locations.
15. Some of the metal parts can become quite hot during operation. Take care not to
touch these until the machine has cooled down.
16. Before carrying out any maintenance, ensure the pressure is expelled from the air
receiver, and the machine is disconnected from the mains supply.
17. Electrical or mechanical repairs should only be carried out by a qualified engineer. If
problems occur, contact your Clarke dealer.
Additionally, please keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference.
