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 IS DANGEROUS, NEVER direct a jet of air at people or animals,
and NEVER discharge compressed air against the skin.
2. DO NOT operate your compressor with any guards removed.
3. Electrical or mechanical repairs should only be carried out by a qualified
engineer. If problems occur, contact your Clarke dealer.
4. Before carrying out any maintenance, ensure the pressure is expelled from
the air receiver, and the machine is disconnected from the mains supply.
5. DO NOT leave pressure in the receiver overnight, or when transporting.
6. DO NOT adjust, or tamper with the safety valves. The maximum pressure is
factory set, and clearly marked on the machine.
7. 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.
8. Some of the metal parts can become quite hot during operation. Take care
not to touch these until the machine has cooled down.
9. Always adjust the pressure regulator to the recommended setting for the
particular spray gun or tool being used.
10. When spraying inflammable materials e.g. cellulose paint, ensure that there is
adequate ventilation and keep clear of any possible source of ignition.
11. 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.
12. Before spraying any material always consult paint manufacturers instructions
for safety and usage.
13. Do not exert any strain on electrical cables and ensure that air hoses are not
tangled or wrapped around machinery etc.
14. 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.
15. Make sure that children and animals are kept well away from the compressor
and any equipment attached to it.
16. Always ensure that all individuals using the compressor have read and fully
understand the Operating Instructions supplied.
17. Ensure that any equipment or tool used in conjunction with your compressor,
has a safety working pressure exceeding that of the machine.
