- Never place hands or introduce screwdrivers, keys or other tools into moving parts.
- Never clean with flammable fluids.
- Periodically check the info plates/labels and restore/replace them where necessary.
- The workplace must be kept clean, tidy and free from objects that might hinder movement.
- Operators must avoid carrying out “awkward” tasks in uncomfortable positions that might cause 

imbalance.

- Operators should be aware of the risk of entrapment caused by clothes or hair getting caught up 

in moving parts; wear a cap to contain long hair.

- Necklaces, bracelets and rings can also be a source of danger.
- Workplace lighting must be adequate for the work in progress. Insufficient or excessive lighting 

can generate risks.

- Always observe the instructions, accident prevention regulations and the warnings contained in 

this manual.

IMPORTANT:

The compressor has been designed and built according to the state of the art and complies with technical
regulations in force concerning compressors for the production of high pressure breathing air. The laws, 
regulations, standards and directives in force for such machines have been complied with.
Materials, parts, production procedures and quality controls all comply with the strictest safety and reliability
standards.
Using the compressor for the purposes described in this manual, handling it with due diligence and carrying
