suitable circuit breaker or fuse.
Only use recommended parts. To avoid the risk
of bursting, only hoses with a rated pressure of
8 bar, or more should be used. Never attempt to
repair faulty hoses.
Avoid kinking or trapping the air hose. Always
replace faulty hoses - never attempt a repair if a
leak is detected.

sowly open the drain valve to release the air
then tilt the compressor to empty condensed
water.
Keep the motor vent clear and free from dust,
wipe regularly to maintain an adequate supply of

General Safety Rules
Warning!
Read all instructions Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term
"power tool" in all of the warnings listed below
refers to your mains operated (corded) power
tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.
Save These Instructions
1) Work Area
a)
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b)
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
c)
Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool.
Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical Safety
a)
Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
b)
Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
c)
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d)
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
e)
When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal Safety
a)
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
b)
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c)
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before
plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or plugging in power
tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d)
Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
