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.

!

Electrical or mechanical repairs should only be carried out by a qualified engineer. If

problems occur, contact your Clarke dealer.
