2 Safety
Dürr Technik has developed and constructed the

extent excluded if the units are used as intended.
Nevertheless, residual risks can remain. You
should therefore observe the following notes.
2.1 Intended use
Oil-free piston compressors KK
The unit is intended for the compression of atmo-

that all requirements requisite to safe operation
have been fulfilled.
Its use in the vicinity of gases or flammable liq-
uids is prohibited.
