Make sure air hose is free of snags and ob- structions. Do not attach an air hose or tool to your body. Entangled or snarled hoses can cause a loss of balance or footing in addition to unintentional tool operation. Attach the hose to the structure to reduce the risk of loss of balance if the hose shifts.

Do not abuse the air hose. Protect all hoses from kinks, restrictions, solvents or sharp ob- jects. Keep air hose away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged hoses immediately. Damaged hoses can burst or whip around work area.

Only use hoses with a minimum rating of 200 PSI. Use of hoses with a high pressure rating re- duce the risk of injury from a hose bursting.

Firmly grasp hose in hand when installing hos- es. If hose is not held firmly or correctly installed, hose may whip and injure personnel in the oper- ating area.

Use care when lifting and carrying the com- pressor. Some compressors are too heavy to be lifted by one person. Get assistance before at- tempting to lift a compressor to reduce the risk of injury.

When moving or loading a wheeled compres- sor ensure that the compressor is always on a level surface. If the compressor is placed on a sloped surface, it may move unexpectedly and result in personal injury.

Wash hands after using.

Tool Use and Care

Use this compressor and all accessories in ac- cordance with the instructions. Compressor and accessories must be used for the purpose for which they are designed. Use of the compressor for operations other than what is described in this manual can result in a hazardous situation.

Use only accessories that are recommended by BOSCH for your particular model. Acces- sories that may be recommended for a particular model tool may not be suitable on other model tools and may result in personal injury.

Before each use, inspect all fittings, hoses, pipes, connections of the compressor. Do not operate if any portion of the compressor is loose, missing, damaged, malfunctioning, disconnected or altered. Never use a com- pressor that appears damaged or is operating abnormally. If the compressor appears to be op- erating unusually and/or making strange noises, stop using it immediately and contact your local

BOSCH service center. There is a risk of bursting if the compressor is damaged.

Before each use inspect compressor for signs of leaks or damage. If leaks are found in the compressor pump, air tanks or tubing, replace compressor immediately. Never attempt repair leaks, weld or make modifications to the air tank or other fluid confining parts as there is a risk of bursting.

Do not attempt to operate this air compressor without first verifying the oil level in the crank- case. This compressor is shipped with oil in the crankcase. Serious damage of the compressor can result from even momentary operation with- out proper lubrication.

Never operate the compressor without the safety valve. Verify operation of the safety valve on a daily basis. Do not use the safety valve for complete tank drainage. The safety valve is designed to relieve tank pressure to re- duce the risk of bursting.

Never operate compressor without all guards and other safety features in place and perform- ing intended function. If maintenance or servic- ing requires removal of guard or safety feature, be sure to replace the guard or safety feature before resuming operation of the compressor. Replace damaged guards or safety features immediately.

Never touch moving parts. Do not place any part of your body near compressor moving parts. Do not reach around guards to reduce the risk of injury.

Do not operate compressor without the air fil- ter. Filters prevent large particles from entering the air stream and damaging compressor internal components.

Do not allow particulates such as sawdust to fall into crankcase when crankcase is open for inspection. Particulates in oil may reduce com- pressor life.

Do not use a detergent oil in crankcase. Deter- gent oils will leave deposits on internal compres- sor components reducing compressor life and components.

Do not use compressor for unattended opera- tion. Always remain in area when compressor is operating and turn off compressor when not in use to reduce the risk of fire.

Never place objects on top or next to com- pressor. Locate compressor at least 12 in. (30 cm) away from all obstructions. Restricting any of the compressor’s ventilation openings can cause overheating and could cause a fire.

Do not operate the compressor with any pow-
