persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
Beware of Children and Pets
Children and pets should be kept out of the work area. Children should not be allowed to touch or operate the air
compressor, tools or extension cords. This air compressor is not designed for use by young children or infirm persons
without supervision. The air compressor and tools should be kept out of reach of children, preferably stored or locked in a
secure cabinet or room when not in use.
Work Area
Work areas and benches should be kept tidy. Cluttered benches and work areas can cause accidents. Floors should be
kept clean and free from rubbish. Special care should be taken when the floor is slippery due to sawdust or wax. Always
leave sufficient distance, at least 5 metres between the air compressor and the work area, especially when using tools
designed for sanding or spraying liquids.
Work Environment
Do not expose your air compressor to rain or use in damp or wet conditions. Keep the work area well lit. Always ensure
your compressor is level and stable. Using your compressor on unlevel or unstable ground may cause a lack of
lubrication which can cause the pump to seize. This damage will not be covered under warranty.
Guard Against Electric Shock
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces (e.g. pipes and refrigerators).
Do Not Force Air Compressors
The air compressor w
ill do a better, safer job and give you much better service if it’s used at the duty cycle for which it
was designed. The duty cycle will only take effect after the initial (1
st
) tank fill for the day. This air compressors duty
cycle is 50%. Duty cycle is the proportion of time during which the air compressor is operated. This means after 30
seconds of operation, motor pumping, the air compressor must be left for 30 seconds resting, motor not pumping. When
the motor is pumping the attached air tool can not be used. Only use the attached air tool while the compressor is not
pumping. Stop using the attached tool as soon as the air compressor starts pumping.
Use the Right Tool
Select the right tool for the job. Do not use a tool for a job for which it was not designed. Do not force a small air
compressor to do the job of a heavy
–duty air compressor. Do not use the air compressor for purposes not intended.
Do Not Abuse the Power Cord
Never yank or pull on the power cord to disconnect it from the mains supply socket. Never carry or pull your air
compressor by its power cord. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, solvents and sharp edges. If the power cord
becomes damaged have it replaced by an authorised service facility.
Extension Cords and Reels
This air compressor MUST be plugged directly into a 240V AC wall socket.
This air compressor is NOT designed to be run off an extension cord/lead. If you need extra distance do NOT use an
extension cord, USE A LONGER AIR HOSE.
The use of extension cords may cause power voltage loss and will result in damage to the motor. This will NOT be
covered under warranty.
Secure the Work Piece
Whenever possible secure the work piece using clamps or a vice. It is safer than using your hands or feet and leaves
both hands free to control the tool.
Hot Components
Beware many of the components will get hot during use. Never touch any of the metal pipes, pump or motor as these
may burn.
