DO NOT ABUSE  
THE POWER CORD

Never yank or pull on the power cord to disconnect it 
from the mains supply socket.  Never carry or pull your air 
compressor by its power cord.  Keep the power cord away 
from heat, oil, solvents and sharp edges.  If the power cord 
becomes damaged have it replaced by an authorised service 
facility.

EXTENSION CORDS AND REELS

This air compressor MUST be plugged directly into a 240V 
AC wall socket.
This air compressor is NOT designed to be run off an 
extension cord/lead. If you need extra distance do NOT 
use an extension cord, USE A LONGER AIR HOSE.
The use of extension cords may cause power voltage loss 
and will result in damage to the motor. This will NOT be 
covered under warranty.

SECURE THE WORK PIECE

Whenever possible secure the work piece using clamps or a vice.  
It is safer than using your hands or feet and leaves both hands 
free to control the tool.

HOT COMPONENTS

Beware many of the components will get hot during use.  
Never touch any of the metal pipes, pump or motor as these 
may burn.

MAINTAIN YOUR AIR 
COMPRESSOR WITH CARE

Follow the instructions for lubricating and changing 
accessories.  Check the air compressor power cord 
periodically and if damaged have it replaced by an 
authorised service facility.  Keep handles clean, dry and free 
from oil and grease.  Ensure that ventilation slots are kept 
clean and free from dust at all times.  Blocked ventilation 
slots can cause overheating and damage to the motor.

DISCONNECT AIR COMPRESSOR

Ensure that the air compressor is disconnected from the 

mains supply when not in use, before servicing, lubricating,
