Secure the Work Piece
Wherever possible secure the work piece using clamps or a vice. It is safer than using your
hand and leaves both hands free to control the air tool.
Do Not Over-reach
Do not over-reach, keep proper footing and maintain your balance at all times.
Maintain Tools with Care
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow the instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories. Check the tool power cord periodically and if
damaged have it replaced by an authorized service facility. Keep handles dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Ensure that ventilation slots are kept clean and free from dust at all times.
Blocked ventilation slots can cause overheating and damage to the motor.
Stay Alert
Watch what you are doing, use common sense, and do not operate the air tool when you
are tired or have taken medication that causes drowsiness, consumed alcohol or drugs.
General Warnings for compressors
•
Do not attempt to modify the compressor in any way.
•
The use of any tools or accessory other than those designed for use with
compressed air could result in injury to the operator.
•
The output pressure of the compressor should be adjusted to the design pressure
of the air tool or accessory being used.
•
Always check that the output of the compressor does not exceed the maximum
pressure for any attached tool or accessory.
•
Repairs should only be carried out by qualified persons using original spare parts.

Breathable Air Warning
This compressor/pump is not equipped for, and should not be used to supply breathing
quality air for any application of air for human consumption.
Overload protection
. This compressor is fitted with an overload protection device. In the
event that the motor becomes too hot, a thermal protection device will cut the mains supply
to the motor. When the motor temperature returns to normal the mains supply will be
restored automatically.
Extension Cords and Reels
In general, it is not recommended to use an extension lead. A longer air line is recommended
as voltage drop on extension leads may lead to motor damage and will void warranty. If an
extension cord must be used, for lengths up to 5 metres, an approved 15 amp rated cord must
be used.
