Safety Precautions
WARNING
As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with their operation and use.
Exercising respect and caution will considerably lessen the risk of personal injury.
However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked, or ignored, personal injury to the
operator, or damage to property may result.
It is in your own interest to read and pay attention to the following rules:
✔
ALWAYS
ensure that all individuals using the compressor have read and fully understand
the Operating Instructions supplied.
✔
ALWAYS
ensure that any equipment or tool used in conjunction with your compressor,
has a safety working pressure exceeding that of the machine.
✔
ALWAYS
adjust the pressure regulator to the recommended setting for the particular
tool being used.
✔
ALWAYS
protect yourself. Think carefully about any potential hazards which may be
created by using the air compressor and use the appropriate protection. ALWAYS use
Goggles when operating a nailer or similar tool. Face masks will protect you against
paint spray and/or fumes.
✔
If spraying inflammable materials e.g. cellulose paint,
ALWAYS
ensure that there is
adequate ventilation and keep clear of any possible source of ignition.
✔
ALWAYS
make sure that children and animals are kept well away from the compressor
and any equipment attached to it.
✔
.
ALWAYS,
before spraying any material always consult paint manufacturers instructions
for safety and usage.
✔
ALWAYS,
when disconnecting air hoses or other equipment from your compressor ensure
that air is shut off at the outlet and
ALL
pressurised air is expelled from the air line and
other equipment attached to it. (see ‘Operation’)
✔
ALWAYS
expel air from the receiver and disconnect from the mains supply BEFORE
carrying out any maintenance.
✘
NEVER
direct a jet of air at people or animals, and
NEVER
discharge compressed air
against the skin. COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS,
✘
NEVER
adjust, or tamper with the safety valves. The maximum pressure is factory set,
and clearly marked on the machine.
✘
NEVER
leave pressure in the receiver overnight, or when transporting.
✘
NEVER
operate your compressor with any covers removed.
✘
NEVER
exert any strain on electrical cables and ensure that air hoses are not tangled
or wrapped around machinery etc.
✘
NEVER
operate in wet or damp conditions. Keep the machine dry at all times. Similarly,
a clean atmosphere will ensure efficient operation. Do not use in dusty or otherwise
dirty locations.
✘
NEVER
touch metal parts of the machine as these can become quite hot during
operation. Wait until the machine has cooled down.
