4.4 Power tool use and care
 Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
 Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
 Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
 Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
 Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or sticking of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition tha t may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
 Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to stick and are easier to control.
 Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions
and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from intended could lead to a hazardous situation.
4.5 Service
 Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
5 PRECAUTIONS
5.1 Things to do
 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 affected by dust, acids,
vapors, explosive or flammable gases.
 Always maintain a safety distance of at least 4 meters between the compressor and the
work area.
 Any coloring of the belt guards of the compressor during painting operations indicates that
the distance is too short.
 Insert the plug of the electric cable in a socket of suitable shape, voltage and frequency
complying with current regulations.
 For three-phase versions have the plug fitted by a qualified electrician according to local
regulations. The first time you start the compressor, check that the direction of rotation is
correct and matches that indicated by the arrow on the conveyor (Fig. 1, the air must be
conveyed towards the head of the compressor).
 Use extension cables with a maximum length of 5 meters and of suitable cross-section.
 The use of extension cables of different length and also of adapters and multiple sockets
should be avoided.
 Always use the switch of the pressure switch to switch off the compressor
 Always use the handle to move the compressor.
 When operating, the compressor must be placed on a stable, horizontal surface to
guarantee correct lubrication.

goggles to protect your eyes against flying objects that may be lifted by the jet of air).
