PROPER USE
This compressor has been designed and built in
accordance with the latest state of the technical art
and the acknowledged safety regulations.
However, its use could cause potential danger to the
life and limb of the user or a third party, and possibly
damage to itself and other machinery, if:
•
it is used for anything other than its proper
purpose
•
it has been tampered with or converted improp-
erly
•
the safety instructions are not observed.
This machine is intended exclusively for generating
compressed air for driving machinery. Its use for any
other purpose counts as improper use, and the

resultant damage; this risk must be borne by the user
alone. Proper use also includes adherence to the
operating instructions and to the service and mainte-
nance instructions.
We reserve the right to make modifications without
prior announcement as part of our programme of
continuous technical improvement.
