ADEQUATE VENTILATION: The compressor should only be used in areas with
adequate ventilation and should not be exposed to heat, or used near inflammable
substances.
NEVER USE AN AIR COMPRESSOR WHICH APPEARS DEFECTIVE OR IS
OPERATING ABNORMALLY: If the compressor operates unusually or makes strange
noises, switch off immediately and purge the air tank. Arrange repair with an
authorised service centre.
DO NOT MODIFY THE AIR COMPRESSOR: Do not attempt to modify the air
compressor, tank, fittings or attachments in any way. Doing so will invalidate the
guarantee and could result in personal injury.
DO NOT MODIFY THE TANK: Do not modify the tank or operate at pressures or
temperatures outside the limits stated in this booklet.
TURN OFF THE AIR COMPRESSOR WHEN NOT IN USE: When not in use, turn off the
air compressor by pressing the On/Off switch, remove the plug from the mains
supply and slowly undo the drain valve to release the pressure from the tank.
Remember to close the drain valve before storage and ensure it is fully
tightened before use.
DO NOT TOUCH HOT SURFACES: During operation, the motor, connections,
compressor body, cylinder head and tubes may get hot, please take care.
DO NOT DIRECT THE AIR STREAM AT THE BODY: Do not direct the air stream at
people or animals, as injury may result. Compressed air can cause soft tissue
damage and propel dirt and other particles at high speed.
ONLY USE RECOMMENDED PARTS: To avoid the risk of bursting, only hoses with a
rated pressure of 10 bar, or more should be used. Never attempt to repair faulty
hoses.
DO NOT USE THIS COMPRESSOR TO INFLATE SMALL, LOW-PRESSURE OBJECTS: Items
such as children's toys or footballs can explode if over-inflated.
AVOID KINKING OR TRAPPING THE AIR HOSE: Always replace faulty hoses - never
attempt a repair if a leak is detected.
DRAIN TANK: Drain the tank after each use. Switch off and slowly open the drain
valve to release the air then tilt the compressor to empty condensed water.
NEVER STOP THE COMPRESSOR BY REMOVING THE PLUG OR SWITCHING OFF
AT THE MAINS SUPPLY: Always use the On/Off switch on the compressor.
