•Never directly inhale the compressed air produced by a compressor and do not use it for charging breathing tanks.
•Do not use welding equipment in close proximity to the compressor. Do not weld anything to the air tank of the compressor: this could dangerously weaken the tank and will void the warranty.
•Do not use the compressor outdoors when it is raining or on a wet surface; either situation could cause an electric shock.
•Always shut off the compressor after use and before servicing. Push the rocker on/off switch to the off position. Turn the power supply switch off and remove the electrical plug from the power supply.
•Check the maximum pressure rating of any tools or accessories that you intend using with the compressor. The output pressure of the air from the compressor must be regulated so that it never exceeds the rated pressure of the tool or accessory.
•To avoid the risk of burns and injury from moving parts, do not operate the compressor with out the compressor being fully intact or without the safety shield. Allow hot parts to cool before handling or servicing.
•Be certain to read all the labels on the containers of paint or other materials to be sprayed. Closely follow all safety instructions. Use a respirator mask if there is a chance that you might otherwise inhale the spray material. Carefully check the effectiveness of any respirator mask you intend using.
•Always wear safety goggles or glasses when using the air compressor. Never point the nozzle of an accessory towards any part of your body or towards another person.
•Do not attempt to adjust the pressure switch.
•Drain the moisture from the tank daily. It will help prevent corrosion.
•Pull the ring on the safety valve daily to ensure that it is operating properly and to clear any possible blockages.
•Keep the compressor at least 300mm from the nearest wall to ensure adequate ventilation for cooling purposes.
•Before transporting the compressor make sure that the pressurized air is bled from the tank and that the compressor is firmly secured.
•Protect the air hose and cord set from damage. Inspect for weak or worn spots regularly and replace if necessary.
•Always press the on/off switch down to switch off the compressor before switching off the power or removing the power plug.
Note. The compressor does not require oil and is self lubricating.
•After using the compressor, switch off the on/off switch, connect the power supply and ensure all the air pressure in the tank and hose has been released.
•Do not attempt to remove any part of the machine whilst it is under pressure.
•Use safety equipment including safety goggles or shield, ear protection, breathing or respirator mask and protective clothing.
Wear goggles
Wear earmuffs
Wear a breathing mask
•Never apply the outlet air of this compressor directly on to any part of a person’s body. Do not attempt to block the air outlet with your finger or any part of your body.
•The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any use other than those mentioned in this Manual will be considered a case of misuse. The user and not the manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or injury resulting from such cases of misuse.
•The manufacturer shall not be liable for any changes made to the tool nor for any damage resulting from such changes.
•Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors.
