5 SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS
This symbol indicates warnings to be read before using the product so as
to prevent injury to the user.
Compressed air is a potentially dangerous form of energy; always take
great care when using the compressor and its accessories.
Warning: the compressor may restart when power is restored following a
blackout.
▪ The compressor and hoses can get very hot during operation. Touching them can cause
burns.
▪ The gases or vapours sucked in by the compressor intake must be kept free of admixtures
that could lead to fires or explosions inside the compressor.
▪ When removing the hose coupling, always hold the hose coupling firmly to avoid injury
caused by the hose flying off.
▪ When working with the blow-out gun, wear goggles. Foreign bodies and blown out
particles can easily cause injuries.
▪ Do not direct the blow-out gun at people or use it to clean clothing you are wearing.
▪ Check all connections and supply lines. All maintenance units, couplings and hoses must
correspond to the appliance parameters in terms of pressure and air flow. Excessively low
pressure will adversely affect the function of the appliance; excessively high pressure can
cause property damage and personal injury. Protect the hoses against kinking,
constriction, solvents and sharp edges.
▪ Ensure that the hose clamps are always tight. Loose or damaged hose clamps can allow
air to escape in an uncontrolled manner.
▪ Replace a damaged hose immediately. A faulty supply line can cause a compressed-air
hose to thrash about and cause personal injury.
▪ Do not breath in the exhaust air directly.
▪ The hose must be designed for at least 150% of the maximum pressure generated in the
system.
▪ The tool and the supply hose must be fitted with a hose coupling that allows the pressure
of the coupling hose to be dispersed completely during disconnection.
▪ Warning! An undersized compressed air system will reduce the efficiency of your
appliance.
▪ Avoid getting exhaust air in your eyes. The exhaust air from the appliance may contain
water, oil, metal particles or impurities from the compressor. This can cause damage to
health.
Take care when putting down the appliance! Always put the appliance down
so it does not lie on the ON/OFF switch. Under certain circumstances, this
could cause an accidental activation of the appliance which, in turn, could
lead to hazards.
5.1 Do’s
▪ The compressor must be used in a suitable environment (well ventilated with an ambient
temperature of between +5 °C and +40 °C) and never in places with dust, acids, vapours,
explosive or flammable gases.
▪ Keep the work area free. When operating, the compressor must be placed on a stable
surface.
