AIR COMPRESSOR SAFETY WARNINGS (cont.)
• 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.
• Do not attempt to adjust the pressure switch or the release valve located under the
pressure switch cover.
• Drain the moisture from the tank daily. It will help prevent corrosion.
• Pull the ring on the safety valve daily to ensure that it is operating properly and to clear
any possible derbis.
• Keep the compressor at least 300mm from the nearest wall to ensure adequate
ventilation for cooling purposes.
• Before transporting the compressor make sure that the pressurised air is bled from the
tank and that the compressor is firmly secured.
• Protect the air hose and cordset from damage. Inspect for weak or worn spots regularly
and replace if necessary.
• Avoid using an extension cord with this product. Use additional air hose instead of an
extension cord to prevent power loss and possible damage to the motor.
• After long working periods external metal parts could be hot.
• After using the compressor, switch off the on/off button, disconnect the power supply
and open the outlet valve to release the pressure.
• Never attempt to remove any part of the compressor whilst the tank is under pressure.
Wear eye and ear protection
Never apply the outlet air of this compressor directly on to any part of a person’s body.
Do not attempt to block the air outlet with your finger or any part of your body.
The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any use other than those mentioned
in this Manual will be considered a case of misuse. The user and not the manufacturer shall
be liable for any damage or injury resulting from such cases of misuse.
WARNING!
In the event that an air line is cut or broken, the air supply must be
turned off at the compressor. A broken air line which is not supported is extremely
dangerous and can whip around very quickly, both with the capability of striking
people, and blowing foreign particles into the air.
Do not attempt to catch the air line but immediately keep bystanders well clear and
turn off the air supply to the hose, turn off the compressor at the On / Off button,
and then remove the hose from the compressor.
