LUBRICATION OF COMPRESSOR
Before attempting to operate this air compressor the transport plug must
be removed, thrown out and replaced with the oil breather. Check the
oil level to ensure the level is to the top of the red dot on the sight glass;
refer to page 10 for complete details and diagram. Failure to do these
may result in damage to the air compressor and / or injury to the user.
PLEASE follow the instructions noted on page 10 on changing the
transport plug to the oil breather.
ASSEMBLY
This compressor MUST be fully assembled by you prior to use. Failure
to do so will result in the warranty being VOID. Failure to fully assemble
this compressor may also result in personal injury.
SAFETY
Before attempting to operate this air compressor the following basic
safety precautions should be taken to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock and personal injury. It is important to read the instruction manual
and to understand applications, limitations and potential hazards
associated with the air compressor. This air compressor is not intended
for use by 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 and 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 will 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 (1st ) tank fill for the day.
This air compressors duty cycle is 75%. Duty cycle is the proportion of
time during which the air compressor is operating compared with not
operating. For example a 75% duty cycle could mean after 45 seconds
of operation, motor pumping, the air compressor must be left for 15
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.
