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.
NEVER
direct a jet of air at people or animals, and NEVER discharge
compressed air against the skin. COMPRESSED AIR IS DANGEROUS,
2.
NEVER
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.
5.
NEVER
leave pressure in the receiver overnight, or when transporting.
6.
NEVER
adjust, or tamper with the safety valves. The maximum pressure
is factory set, and clearly marked on the machine.
7.
NEVER
operate in wet or damp conditions. Keep the machine dry at
all times.
8.
NEVER
use in dusty or otherwise dirty locations. A clean atmosphere
will ensure efficient operation.
9.
Some of the metal parts can become quite hot during operation.
Take care not to touch these until the machine has cooled down.
10.
ALWAYS
adjust the pressure regulator to the recommended setting for
the particular spray gun or tool being used.
11.
ALWAYS
ensure there is adequate ventilation when spraying
inflammable materials e.g., cellulose paint, and keep clear of any
possible source of ignition.
12.
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.
13.
ALWAYS
consult paint manufacturers instructions for safety and
usageBefore spraying any material .
