GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: WHEN USING ELECTRICAL TOOLS, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK AND PERSONAL INJURY

WARNING: READ ALL THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO USE
THIS PRODUCT AND KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE.

WORK AREA

1. Keep the work area clean and well lit. Floors should always be kept clear. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause loss of control.
3. The compressor should only be used in areas with adequate ventilation and should not be exposed to heat or used near flammable substances

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. ALWAYS stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the compressor. DO NOT use the compressor while you are tired or under the influence of medication, drugs or alcohol. A moment of inattention can result in personal injury.
2. ALWAYS use eye protection when operating compressed air equipment, and ensure that others in the work area are protected from flying particles from the front and from the side.
3. ALWAYS protect yourself against electric shock. Never operate the compressor in wet or damp locations.
4. NEVER over-reach. Keep your proper footing and balance at all times to enable better control of the compressor in unexpected situations.
5. NEVER attempt any complex repairs yourself. If you have a technical problem contact your local CLARKE dealer.
6. ALWAYS store the compressor out of reach of children.
7. ALWAYS protect your hearing. Ear protection should be worn when operating this compressor.
8. NEVER 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.
9. NEVER insert your fingers or other objects inside the motor housing. NEVER operate the compressor without the cover in place.

GENERAL MACHINE USE AND CARE

1. Prior to use, all operators should become familiar with the instructions in this booklet especially the ON/OFF switch for emergency stopping.
2. ALWAYS maintain the compressor with care and keep it clean for best / safest performance.
3. NEVER use this compressor if any part is damaged. Have it inspected and repaired by your CLARKE dealer.
4. NEVER attempt to modify the air compressor, fittings or attachments in any way. Doing so will invalidate the guarantee and could result in personal injury.
5. NEVER abuse the power cable. NEVER pull on the cable when removing the plug from the socket, or lift the compressor by the power cable.
6. ONLY use extension leads that are of an appropriate power rating and suitable for the work environment. Extension leads must have an earth connection. Inspect the extension lead regularly and replace if damaged.
7. ONLY USE RECOMMENDED PARTS: To avoid the risk of bursting, only hoses with a rated pressure of 8 bar or more should be used. NEVER attempt to repair damaged hoses.
8. NEVER abuse the compressor by standing on it.

AIRLINE HOSES

1. ALWAYS ensure that equipment or power tools used in conjunction with the compressor have a safe working pressure exceeding that of the machine.
2. ALWAYS keep the air hose away from any attached power tools and ensure that the operator is not restricted by the length of the hose.
3. ALWAYS take care when a long air hose is required in the work area as it presents a trip hazard. Coil the hose away as soon as the job is finished.
4. ALWAYS avoid kinking or trapping the air hose. ALWAYS replace damaged hoses and never attempt a repair if a leak is detected.
5. NEVER abuse hoses or connectors. NEVER carry an air tool by the hose, or yank it to disconnect from the air supply. Keep hoses away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for leaks or worn condition before use and ensure that all connections are secure.
6. ALWAYS ensure that the air supply is turned off at the machine outlet and any air pressure vented from within the compressor and any attached equipment when disconnecting air hoses or other equipment.
