ELECTRICAL SAFETY
ELECTRICITY CAN KILL
• Guard against electrical shock by preventing body contact with grounded surfaces, e.g., pipes, radiators,
ovens, refrigerator enclosures.
• Do not abuse cord. Never carry or drag the compressor by the cord or yank it to disconnect from wall socket.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Do not drive over or place heavy objects on electrical cord.
• Should any electrical component of the compressor fail to perform properly, shut off the power switch, remove
the plug from the power source and replace/repair before resuming operation.
• Do not expose compressor to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the electronics will increase the risk of
electric shock and damage the compressor.
• it is recommended that the compressor be connected to an RCD.
AIR COMPRESSOR SAFETY
WARNING
•
This air compressor does not produce breathable air
. Breathing compressed air is dangerous and can
cause harm.
• Hot surfaces are present. DO NOT touch the motor, cylinder, heads and tubes as harm may occur from
burning.
• DO NOT use in potentially explosive atmospheres. Ensure that the atmosphere is free from combustible
gases and high concentrations of fine dust.
• 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.
• 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 and increases tank capacity.
• Pull the ring on the safety valve daily to ensure that it is operating properly and to clear any possible
• debris from the outlet.
• 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 pressurized air is bled from the tank and that
the compressor is firmly secured.
• Protect the air hose and electrical lead from damage. Inspect for weak or worn spots regularly and replace if
• necessary.
• Always plug the compressor directly into the electrical outlet.
• 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.
