- Battery chargers are for indoors use only. Ensure that the power supply and charger are protected against moisture at all times.
- The air pump is not designed for inflating truck or tractor tyres, or large car tyres or other large-volume items. The air pump is only intended for domestic use and not made for professional, continuous operation. To inflate these items, please use a suitable inflator in addition.
- Keep in mind that parts of the unit can become very hot during use. There is risk of burns!

- Do not allow liquids of any kind, dirt or sand to enter the unit.
- Keep the ventilation louvers of the unit free from obstructions in order to avoid overheating the motor.
- Do not expose the unit to high temperatures, strong vibration and humidity.
- A pressure which is too high in the inflated object can burst it. Check and observe the pressure and the object while inflating.
- The information about the measured pressure, shown at the pressure gauge, are only reference values. We recommend checking the air pressure with a calibrated air pressure ma-nometer.
- Do not disassemble the air pump or do not attempt to repair it yourself. The unit does not contain replaceable or repairable parts.
- When not in use, while maintaining and cleaning always remove the battery from the air pump.

Keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
- Allow batteries to cool for 15 minutes after charging or heavy use. Failure to follow these instructions may cause overheating or fire.
- Use only chargers recommended by the manufacturer to charge the batteries. If a charger is not suitable for a certain kind of battery there is a risk of fire. Only use Li-Ion batteries provided with a product or specifically designed to be compatible.
