Air Compressor

 

Do Not Over-reach 

 

Do not over-reach, keep proper footing and maintain your balance at all times.  

Maintain Tools with Care 

 

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow the instructions for 
lubricating and changing accessories. Check the tool power cord periodically and if damaged 
have it replaced by an authorised service facility.  Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and 
grease. Ensure that ventilation slots are kept clean and free from dust at all times. Blocked venti-
lation slots can cause overheating and damage to the motor.  

Stay Alert  

Watch what you are doing, use common sense, and do not operate the air tool when you are 
tired or have taken medication that causes drowsiness, consumed alcohol or drugs.  
 

General Warnings for compressors 



Do not operate the compressor without the belt guard being correctly fitted. 



Do not attempt to modify the compressor in any way.  



The use of any tool or accessory other than those designed for use with compressed air 
could result in injury to the operator.  



The output pressure of the compressor should be adjusted to the design pressure of the 
air tool or accessory being used.  



Always check that the output of the compressor does not exceed the maximum pressure 
for any attached tool or accessory.  



Repairs should only be carried out by qualified persons using original spare parts. Fail-
ure to do so may result in considerable danger to the user.  

Breathable Air Warning 

This compressor/pump is not equipped and should not be used to supply breathing quality air for 
any application of air for human consumption. 

Check Damaged Parts 

Before using the compressor it should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate prop-
erly and perform its intended function. Check for the correct alignment of moving parts ensuring 
they do not bind. Check for broken or missing parts and have them replaced or repaired at an 
authorised service centre.  Check any other condition that may affect the operation of the  com-
pressor. A guard or any other part of the compressor that is damaged should be properly re-
paired or replaced by an authorised service centre.
