Read and ensure that you understand all of the operating instructions, safety precautions and warnings in this Instruction
Manual before operating or maintaining this compressor. Most accidents that result from compressor operation and
maintenance are caused by the failure to observe basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by
recognizing a potentially hazardous situation before it occurs, and by observing appropriate safety procedures. Hazards
that must be avoided to prevent bodily injury or machine damage are identified by warnings on the compressor and in this
Instruction Manual. Never use this compressor or modify it in any way that has not been specifically recommended by the
manufacturer. Contact a qualified electrician for advice on any issues relating to electrical safety in your working environment.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Ensure that you check the equipment thoroughly to ensure it is safe and fit for purpose before each use. It is important that
you inspect all plugs, sockets, power cables and electrical fittings for wear and damage and repair or replace any defective
components. The risk of electric shock can be minimised by the correct use of the appropriate electrical safety devices.
•
We recommend that you fit a
Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB)
in the main distribution board and that a
Residual Current Device
(RCD)
is used when operating this equipment.
•
The
Electricity at Work Act 1989
includes legislation that places legal implications on employers to ensure the safety of electrical devices
in the workplace. The regulations dictate that all portable equipment must be inspected regularly and tested to ensure that it is safe for use.
'Portable equipment' means any electrical item that can be moved and this is often referred to as
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)
. PAT
testing should be carried out regularly on this equipment by trained, authorised personnel, as required by the legislation.
•
The
Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
states that it is the responsibility of the owner of electrical appliances to ensure that both the
equipment and working environments are maintained to ensure safe operation at all times.
•
Check that all equipment cables are secure, correctly insulated, free from damage, and protected against short circuit and overload before
connecting to the power supply. Do not use worn or damaged cables, plugs, sockets or other fittings.
•
Ensure that the power supply matches voltage requirements specified on the equipment and that the plug is wired correctly and fitted with
the correct fuse.
•
If the electrical fuse blows, ensure it is replaced by an identical type of fuse with the same rating.
•
Never pull or manoeuvre this equipment into position using the power cable (move using the handle).
•
Ensure the power cable is kept away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
•
We recommend that the equipment is connected directly to the power supply without the use of extension leads as the resulting voltage drop
can reduce motor and pump performance.
•
Always disconnect the compressor from the power source and remove the compressed air from the air tank before servicing, inspecting,
maintaining, cleaning, replacing or checking any parts.
•
Do not carry the compressor while it is connected to its power source or when the air tank is filled with compressed air. Be sure the pressure
switch is in the
“Off”
position before connecting the compressor to its power source.
•
Do not use the compressor in damp / wet conditions.
