LUBRICATION OF COMPRESSOR
This compressor is OIL FREE. Therefore there
is NO oil used for lubrication.
ASSEMBLY
This compressor MUST be fully assembled by you prior to
use. Failure to do so will result in the warranty being VOID.
Failure to fully assemble this compressor may also result in
personal injury.
SAFETY
Before attempting to operate this air compressor the
following basic safety precautions should be taken to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.
It is important to read the instruction manual and to
understand applications, limitations and potential hazards
associated with the air compressor. This air compressor
is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
BEWARE OF CHILDREN AND PETS
Children and pets should be kept out of the work area.
Children should not be allowed to touch or operate the air
compressor, tools or extension cords. This air compressor
is not designed for use by young children or infirm persons
without supervision. The air compressor and tools should be
kept out of reach of children, preferably stored or locked in a
secure cabinet or room when not in use.
WORK AREA
Work areas and benches should be kept tidy. Cluttered
benches and work areas can cause accidents. Floors
should be kept clean and free from rubbish. Special care
should be taken when the floor is slippery due to sawdust
or wax. Always leave sufficient distance, at least 5 metres
between the air compressor and the work area, especially
when using tools designed for sanding or spraying liquids.
If needed use a longer air hose to reach your work area.
WORK ENVIRONMENT
Do not expose your air compressor to rain or use in damp
or wet conditions. Keep the work area well lit. Always
ensure your compressor is level and stable. Using your
compressor on unlevel or unstable ground may cause it to
tip over, this damage will not be covered under warranty.
Do not use your air compressor in the same area that you
are spray painting or sanding. Always use your compressor
in clean air. If needed use a longer air hose to reach your
work area.
GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
(e.g. pipes and refrigerators).
DO NOT OVERLOAD AIR COMPRESSORS
The air compressor will do a better, safer job and give you
much better service if it’s used at the duty cycle for which it
was designed. The duty cycle will only take effect after the
initial (1st ) tank fill for the day. This air compressor’s duty
cycle is 75%. Duty cycle is the proportion of time during
which the air compressor is operated. This means after 45
seconds of operation, motor pumping, the air compressor
must be left for 15 seconds resting, motor not pumping.
When the motor is pumping the attached air tool can not be
used. Only use the attached air tool while the compressor
is not pumping. Stop using the attached tool as soon as the
air compressor starts pumping.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL
Select the right tool for the job. Do not use a tool for a
job for which it was not designed. Do not force a small air
compressor to do the job of a heavy–duty air compressor.
Do not use the air compressor for purposes not intended.
