Full Boar FBACVT-5030, Instruction Manual

8

This appliance is not intended for use by young or infirm persons unless supervised by 

a responsible person to ensure that they can use the appliance safely. Young children 

should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

¥  To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, never spray flammable liquids in a confined area. 

It is normal for the compressor motor and pressure switch to produce sparks during use. 

If sparks come into contact with petrol vapours or solvents, they may ignite the vapours 

and cause a fire or explosion.

¥  Always operate the compressor in a well ventilated area. Do not smoke while spraying. 

Do not spray where sparks or flames are present. Keep the compressor as far away from 

the spray area as possible.

¥  The solvents trichloroethane and methylene chloride can chemically react with the 

aluminium used in some paint spray guns and form an explosion. If these solvents are 

used, ensure that only stainless steel spray equipment is connected. The compressor is 

not affected by the use of these solvents.

¥  Never directly inhale the compressed air produced by a compressor and do not use it for 

charging breathing tanks.

¥  Do not use welding equipment in close proximity to the compressor. Do not weld 

anything to the air tank of the compressor: this could dangerously weaken the tank and 

will void the warranty.

¥  Do not use the compressor outdoors when it is raining or on a wet surface; either 

situation could cause an electric shock.

¥  Always shut off the compressor after use and before servicing. Push the on/off knob 

down, wait for the pressurised air to bleed from the tank from the safety valve and then 

remove the electrical plug from the power supply.

¥  Check the maximum pressure rating of any tools or accessories that you intend using 

with the compressor. The output pressure of the air from the compressor must be 

regulated so that it never exceeds the rated pressure of the tool or accessory.

¥  To avoid the risk of burns and injury from moving parts, do not operate the compressor 

with the safety shield removed. Allow hot parts to cool before handling or servicing.

¥   Be certain to read all the labels on the containers of paint or other materials to be 

sprayed. Closely follow all safety instructions. Use a respirator mask if there is a chance 

that you might otherwise inhale the spray material. Carefully check the effectiveness of 

any respirator mask you intend using.

¥  Always wear safety goggles or glasses when using the air compressor. Never point the 

nozzle of an accessory towards any part of your body or towards another person.

¥  Do not attempt to adjust the pressure switch or the release valve located under the 

pressure switch cover.

¥  Drain the moisture from the tank after use. It will help prevent corrosion.

AIR COMPRESSOR SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING!

 Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power point 

receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as that specified 

on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater than that 

specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user, as well as damage to 

the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power source with a voltage 

less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
Always remove the plug from the mains socket before making any adjustments or 

maintenance.
