and other compressed air accessories. Improperly sized fitting or components may result in the risk of injury or property damage
Never move the compressor by pulling on a hose. The compressor, air fittings and the air hose may become damaged and burst.
Check air supply lines for restrictions before adjusting tool. Air volume is as important as air pressure. Restricted air flow will prevent the tools from operating as designed.
Never exceed the maximum allowable pressure rating marked on tools and attachments. Do not use compressor to inflate low pressure objects such as toys. Exceeding the maximum recommended pressure of tools and attachments can cause them to burst. The correct pressure is the lowest pressure that will do the job.
Drain condensate from air tanks daily with drain valve. Draining water from the air compressor reduces the risk of air tank corrosion. Corroded air tanks increase the risk of bursting.
Stop the compressor, drain air tanks and allow it to cool before making adjustments, moving the compressor, leaving the work area, performing maintenance or storing the compressor. Such precautionary safety measures reduce a risk of injury.
Do not modify this compressor or operate compressor at pressures or speeds greater than designed. Any alteration or modification is a misuse and may result in a dangerous condition such as fire or bursting.
When transporting compressor, keep level and place on a protective mat. Do not place compressor on its side. Such precautions reduce the risk of fire or danger to personnel from oil fumes.
Service
Maintenance performed by unauthorized personnel may result in misplacing of the internal components which could cause serious hazard. We recommend that all compressor service be performed by a BOSCH factory service center or authorized BOSCH service station.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for your tool. When cleaning a compressor be careful not to disassemble any portion of the tool since internal components may be misplaced or safety components may be improperly mounted. Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts and
When servicing the compressor, use only recommended BOSCH replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions can cause a risk of injury.
Replace missing or damaged warning labels. Refer to schematic for correct placement and part number.
Maintain compressor with care. Keep the compressor clean and lubricated. Properly maintained tools are less likely to break and cause injury. Any alteration or modification is a misuse and may result in a dangerous condition. Clean the tool at least daily and lubricate as required.
When not in use, store the compressor out of reach of children and other personnel unfamiliar with compressor operation. When not in use, the tool should be disconnected and stored in a dry place. Vent the air tank. Keep out of reach of children. Lock the storage area. Compressor can be dangerous in the hands of users unfamiliar with its operation.
