Safety instructions

WARNING! Electric shock! There is a risk of an injury caused by electric shock!

Operation is only allowed with a safety switch against stray current (RCD max. stray current of 30mA).

Check the voltage. Technical data given on the type label must correspond with electric network voltage.
Insert the plug of the electrical cable in a socket of suitable shape, voltage and frequency complying with current regulations.
Use extension cables with a maximum length of 5 meters and with a cable cross- section of not less than 1.5 mm2. Use of extension cables of different length and cross-section and also of adapters and multiple sockets should be avoided.
Check the cable and/or socket for damages before the appliance putting into operation.
To avoid danger, a damaged mains supply pipe must be replaced by the manufacturer. Do not under any circumstances attempt any repair yourself.
Never let the compressor come into contact with water or other liquids and never direct the jet of liquids sprayed by tools connected to the compressor towards the compressor: as the appliance is live, this could cause electrocution or short-circuits.
Never use the appliance with bare feet or wet hands or feet.
Never yank the power cable to disconnect the plug from the power outlet or to move the compressor.
Warning: the compressor may restart when power is restored following a blackout.

Compressed air is a potentially dangerous form of energy; always take great care when using the compressor and its accessories.

This device is not intended for use by persons (including children) with limited physical, sensory or mental capabilities or without the necessary lack experience or knowledge unless they are supervised by a person who is responsible for their safety or were instructed by that person in how to use the device.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the device. Always keep children and unauthorised persons out of reach of the appliance.
Never use the compressor without being supervised.
Never direct the jet of air towards persons, animals or your body.
Never keep the air flow in body holes as that could lead to fatal injuries!
Keep the work area free.
When operating, the compressor must be placed on a stable surface.
The compressor must be used in a vertical position only.
Caution! The compressor may only be used with appropriate wheels and rubber bumps.
Safety goggles should be worn when using the compressor in order to protect the eyes against any foreign bodies lifted by the jet of air.
If possible, when using air-powered accessories, wear safety clothing.
Always maintain a safety distance of at least 4 meters between the compressor and the work area.

Caution! The pneumatic hose may lash you when the quick-acting coupling is opened! The pneumatic hose should be held by hand.
Always use the handle to move the compressor.
When using compressed air, you must know and comply with the safety precautions to be adopted for each type of application (inflation, airpowered tools, painting, washing with water-based detergents only, clinching, etc.).

When using compressed air, you must know and comply with the safety precautions to be adopted for each type of application (inflation, airpowered tools, painting, washing with water-based detergents only, clinching, etc.).

Caution! Never switch the compressor on or off using the plug. Pressure switch to be pressed at all times.
Do not leave the compressor on over night as it could become a source of danger.
At the end of your working day, switch the appliance off, release the air jet and unplug the compressor.
Warning: if the water that condenses is not drained, it may corrode the receiver, reducing its capacity and impairing safety.
Never leave the appliance exposed to adverse weather conditions (rain, sun, fog, snow).
If this compressor is used outdoors, always remember to stow it after use in a covered or closed place.
Never use the compressor outdoors in rain or bad weather.
Do not place flammable or nylon/fabric objects close to and/or on the compressor.
Do not cover the air inlets on the compressor.
The compressor must not be fitted in a vehicle for industrial purposes without an inspection by an expert!

If the compressor is used for industrial purposes, it must be checked by an expert before putting into operation for the first time. Such check must be ordered by the operator (under BetrSichV Section 17 No. 25 – operation safety regulation)

Caution! When fitted in automatic equipment, it is necessary to install appropriate alarm or warning devices in case of power outage or malfunction or compressor (e.g. feed line, etc.) failure.

Operation at lower temperatures

At lower temperatures, below 5°C, problems may be experienced when starting. They are manifested by growling of the electric motor. In such a case, the appliance must be immediately switched off and oil (5W30) changed in warmer conditions.
To guarantee perfect and reliable operation of the rotary and percussive pneumatic tools such as impact wrenches, staplers or nailers, etc., the compressed air must be supplied filtered – with oil via the lubricator or maintenance unit
A filtered water separator should be used for varnishing in any case.
To select a suitable pneumatic tool, the tool air consumption and the compressor effective amount delivered must necessarily be considered.
