Proper use

The compressor is used to generate compressed air
for pneumatically powered tools that can be operated with an air rate of up to 109 l/min. (e.g. tyre inflaters, air blow guns, paint spray guns).
Due to the limited air flow rate, it is not possible to op-erate tools with a very high compressed air consumption (e.g. orbital sanders, straight grinders and impact screwdriver). The machine may only be used in the intended manner. Any use beyond this is improper. The user/operator, not the manufacturer, is responsible for damages or inju-ries of any type resulting from this.
The device may only be operated by persons who are aged 16 and above. An exception to this is use by minors if the use takes place as part of occupational training in order to gain proficiency under the supervision of
an instructor.
Please observe that our equipment was not designed with the intention of use for commercial or industrial purposes. We assume no guarantee if the equipment is used in commercial or industrial applications, or for equivalent work.

General safety information

Power tools
WARNING – Read all safety instructions, instruc-tions, illustrations and technical data for this electric tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords in-crease the risk of electric shock.
If you work with a power tool outdoors, only use extension cables that are also suitable for outdoor use. Using an extension cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of an electric shock. Only use approved and appropriately iden-tified extension cables for use outdoors. Only use cable reels in the unrolled state.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current circuit breaker with a trigger current of 30 mA or less to protect the power supply. Use of an RCD re-duces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or med-ication. A moment of carelessness when using electrical tools can result in serious injuries.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and anti-slip footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Tie long hair back in a hair net.
If dust extraction and collection devices can be mounted, make sure that they are connect-ed and used properly. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

Power tool use and care

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that can-not be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjust-ments, changing accessories, or storing pow-er tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to oper-ate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. Unused power tools should be stored in a dry, elevated or closed loca-tion out of the reach of children.
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check whether moving parts function properly and do not get stuck and whether parts are broken or are damaged and thus adversely affect the electric tool function. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Service

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
