or dusts. Any power tool may form 

sparks that might ignite liquids, gases, 

or dust.

Do not expose any power tools 

to rain or use them in wet or 

damp environments. The presence of 

water in an electric tool increases the

the compressor’s technical 

specifications. Keep voltage between 

+- 5% of nominal value. Do not use the

with high dust concentration, the power 

outlet circuit must be protected with a 

circuit breaker (30mA), to ensure the 

user’s safety.

Never use the power cable to pull, 

carry or unplug the tool. Damaged 

power cables increase the risk of
