When using machinery, there are certain precautions that must be taken to promote
safe operation. Always apply caution and respect to machinery in use; If the following
safety precautions are ignored, damage or injury may be subject to the operator,
property, or a bystander. It is in the interest of the user to read and pay attention to the
following guidelines.
WARNING:
This air compressor does not produce breathable air. Swallowing
compressed air is dangerous and can cause harm.
WARNING:
hot surfaces are present. DO NOT touch the engine, cylinder, heads and
tubes as they may be damaged by combustion.
WARNING:
DO NOT use in potentially explosive atmospheres. Make sure the
atmosphere is free of combustible gases and high concentrations of fine dust.
NEVER use compressed air for unintended use. Compressed air has the potential
to cause damage. Avoid directing compressed air at animals or people, and
NEVER release compressed air at skin.
Make sure the work area is free of debris and dry. Unkempt workspaces increase
the risk of injury.
The compressor must be assembled correctly. Using a compressor with guards,
covers, and components removed is dangerous and may compromise the
compressor's ability to function.
DO NOT modify the compressor. Modifications to the compressor can be
dangerous. Unapproved modifications may not only impair the compressor's
ability to function, but may also cause injury to the operator. Repairs must be
carried out only by qualified personnel, using only components verified by the
manufacturer.
Safety valves must not be modified or tampered with. Doing so can cause injury to
the operator and damage to the air compressor. The maximum pressure is
predetermined by the manufacturer and should not be adjusted.

Wear warm clothing when working in cold conditions and keep your hands warm
and dry.
Operate and maintain the sander or polisher as recommended in the instruction
manual to avoid an unnecessary increase in vibration levels.
Hold the tool with a light but secure grip, taking into account the required manual
reaction forces, as the risk of vibration is generally greater when the grip force is
higher.
