WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK TO BREATHING, OF BURNS AND FLYING
OBJECTS
Serious injury or death could occur from inhaling compressed air. The air stream
may contain carbon monoxide, toxic vapors or solid particles.
Sprayed materials such as paint, paint solvents, paint remover, insecticides,
weed killers, etc., contain harmful vapors and poisons.
Serious injury could occur from touching exposed metal parts. These areas can
remain hot for some time even after the air compressor is shutdown.
Serious injury can occur from loose debris being propelled at a high speed from
the compressed air stream.
PREVENTION
Never inhale air from the air compressor either directly or from a breathing
device connected to the air compressor.
Operate air compressor only in a well ventilated area. Follow all safety
instructions provided with the materials you are spraying. Use of a respirator may
be required when working with some materials.
Never allow any part of your body or other materials to make contact with any
exposed metal parts on the air compressor.
Always wear safety glasses to shield the eyes from flying debris.
Never point the air stream at any part of your body, anyone else or animals.
Never leave pressurized air compressor unattended. Shut off air compressor and
relieve pressure before attempting maintenance, attaching tools or accessories.
Always maintain a safe distance from people and animals while operating the air
compressor.
Do not move the air compressor while air tank is under pressure. Do not attempt
to move the air compressor by pulling on the hose.
Additional safety guidelines for compressors
In order to avoid any danger for persons or damage of the compressor, you must stick to
the following safety guidelines. If using the air compressor on a worksite please also
follow the instructions of the employer’s liability insurance association and the
regulations for prevention of accidents, when working with compressors and air-tools.
Always wear ear protection and safety goggles.
During dust generating jobs, you have to wear a dust mask.
Always wear suitable work clothes. During outdoor work, it is recommended to
wear non slipping shoes.
Never direct connected air tools against any persons or animals.
Be sure that the air tools are really designed for the working pressure of the
compressor or that they are supplied via a pressure regulator.
Pay attention when disconnecting the quick coupler. The compressed air inside
the pressure hose will escape all of a sudden. Please hold the air hose firmly,
when disconnecting from the compressor.
Make sure that all screw connections are adequately tightened at any time.
Do not repair the compressor by yourself! All repairs on compressor and air
tools must be done by authorized and trained service stations.
Risk of Burning! Let the compressor cool down, before doing any maintenance
job.
