• Check the tire pressure before using the compressor and ensure that the tires are suitable for the compressor pressure.
• Avoid using the compressor near children or pets.

Important! The following basic safety actions must be taken when using this compressor in order to protect the user from electric shocks and the risk of injury and fi re. Read and follow these instructions before using the equipment.

• Keep your work area tidy
  Untidy work areas can result in accidents.

• Check the ambient conditions
  Do not expose the compressor to rain. Never use the compressor in damp or wet locations. There is a risk of electric shock! Provide good lighting. Do not use the compressor near flammable liquids or gases. There is a risk of explosion!

• Protect yourself against electric shocks
  Avoid bodily contact with earthed parts, e.g. pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators.

• Keep children away!
  Do not allow other persons to touch the com-pressor or cable, keep them away from your work area.

• Keep your compressor in a safe place When unused, the compressor must be stored in a dry, locked room out of children’s reach.

• Do not overload your compressor
  It will run better and safer within its quoted capacity range.

• Wear suitable work clothes
  Never wear loose fitting clothes or jewellery. They may get caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-slip shoes are recommended when working outdoors. Wear a hair net if you have long hair. Risk of injury!

• Do not use the cable for purposes other than that for which it is designed
  Do not carry the compressor by its cable and do not use the cable to pull the plug out of the socket. Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges. The cable/plug could become damaged.

• Take care of your compressor
  Keep your compressor clean in order to work well and safely. Follow the maintenance inst-ructions. Check the power plug and cable on a regular basis and have them replaced by an authorized specialist if they are damaged. Check the extension cable regularly and re-place it if damaged.

• Pull out the power plug
  When not in use and before carrying out any maintenance work.

• Avoid unintentional starting
  Make sure that the switch is turned off when connecting to the power supply.

• When using an extension cable outdoors
  Check that it is approved for outdoor duty and is marked accordingly.

• Be alert at all times
  Watch what you are doing. Use common sense when working. Never use the compressor when you are distracted.

• Check your compressor for damage
  Before using the compressor again, carefully check the safety devices and any slightly damaged parts to ensure that they are in good working order. Check that the moving parts are working correctly, that they do not jam, and that no parts are damaged. Make sure that all parts are fitted correctly to ensure that the equipment remains safe to use. Unless otherwise stated in the operating instruc-tions, damaged guards and parts have to be repaired or replaced by a customer service workshop. Damaged switches have to be replaced by a customer service workshop. Never use an electric power tool with a switch that cannot be turned on and off.
  Important!
  For your own safety you must only use the accessories and additional units listed in the operating instructions or recommended or specified by the manufacturer. The use of mounted tools or accessories other than tho-se recommended in the operating instructions or catalog may place your personal safety at risk.

• Leave all repairs to a qualified electrician
  Repairs must be left strictly to qualified electricians or the user might suffer an accident.

• Noise
  Wear ear muffs when you use the compressor.

• Replacing the power cable
  To prevent hazards, leave the replacement of damaged power cables strictly to the manu-facturer or a qualified electrician. There is a risk of electric shock!

• Inflating tires
  Directly after inflating tires, check the pressu-re with a suitable pressure gauge, for examp-le at your filling station.

• Roadworthy compressors for building site operations
  Make sure that all lines and fittings are suitable for the maximum permissible operating pressure of the compressor.

• Place of installation
  Set up the compressor on an even surface.

Safety instructions for working with com-pressed air and blasting guns

• The compressor pump and lines can become very hot during operation. Touching these parts will burn you.
• The air which is sucked in by the compressor must be kept free of impurities that could cause fires or explosions in the compressor pump.
• When releasing the hose coupling, hold the hose coupling piece with your hand. This way, you can protect yourself against injury from the rebounding hose.
• Wear safety goggles when working with the blow-out pistol. Foreign bodies or blown off parts can easily cause injuries.
• Do not blow at people with the blow-out pistol and do not clean clothes while being worn. Risk of injury!

Safety information for paint spraying

• Do not process any paints or solvents with a flash point below 55° C. There is a risk of ex-plosion!
• Do not heat up paints or solvents. There is a risk of explosion!
• If hazardous liquids are processed, wear protective filter units (face guards). Also, adhere to the safety information provided by the manufacturers of such liquids.
• The details and designations of the Ordinance on Hazardous Substances, which are displayed on the outer packaging of the processed material, must be observed. Additional protective measures are to be under-taken if necessary, particularly the wearing of suitable clothing and masks.
• Do not smoke during the spraying process and/or in the work area. There is a risk of ex-plosion! Paint vapors are easily combustible.
• Never set up or operate the equipment in the vicinity of a fire place, open lights or sparking machines.
• Do not store or eat food and drink in the work area. Paint vapors are harmful to your health.
• The work area must exceed 30 m3 and sufficient ventilation must be ensured during spraying and drying. Do not spray against the wind. Always adhere to the regulations of the local police authority when spraying combustible or hazardous materials.
• Do not process media such as white spirit, butyl alcohol and methylene chloride with the PVC pressure hose. These media will destroy the pressure hose.

Operating pressure vessels

• You must keep your pressure vessel in good working order, operate the vessel correctly, monitor the vessel, carry out necessary main-tenance and repair work immediately and meet the relevant safety precautions.
• The supervisory authority may enforce essential control measures in individual cases.
• A pressure vessel is not allowed to be used if it has faults or deficiencies that can endanger workers or third parties.
• Check the pressure vessel for signs of rust and damage each time before using. Do not use the compressor with a damaged or rusty pressure vessel. If you discover any damage, then please contact the customer service workshop.
