Additional safety notes for air compressors
Warning: Before connecting the compressor to the electric
power (main switch on machine, socket, etc.), make sure
the power supply corresponds with the data on the model
plate. A higher mains voltage can cause serious injuries
and damage the machine. Do not connect the machine in
case of doubt. If the mains voltage is too low, the motor
can get damaged.
Always pull the power supply plug before doing any
maintenance or adjustment work.
1 Never try to remove a part from the compressor while
it is pressurized.
2 Never try to remove an electrical part while the com-
pressor is connected to the mains supply. Switch the
machine off and pull the power supply plug.
3 Do not use an electrical extension cable.
4 Be careful when you vent the tank (from the the drain
plug, or the air escape). Compressed air can be ex-
tremely dangerous. Make sure the air current does not
whirl up any dust, stones or other foreign bodies. Be
also sure that the air does escape in a safe way.
• In order to reduce the risk of fire or explosions, never
spray inflammable fluids in an enclosed room. It is
normal that sparks escape from the motor during op-
eration. When these sparks get in touch with gasoline
vapours or inflammable liquids, they can ignite and
cause fire or explosions.
• Always operate the compressor in a well vented room.
Do not smoke during spraying. Do not spray in the pres-
ence of sparks or flames. Keep the compressor as far
as possible away from the spraying place. The liquids
trichlorethane and methylenchloride can cause a chem-
ical reaction with aluminium that is used in some paint
spray cartridges and can cause an explosion. If these
liquids are used, make sure the spraying is only done
with spraying bins made of stainless steel. The com-
pressor is not impaired by these liquids.
• Never inhale directly the compressed air produced by
the compressor. Do not use the compressed air for fill-
ing breathing tanks.
• Do not use any welding equipment near the compressor.
Do not weld anything to the air tank of the compressor:
This could dangerously weaken the tank and would ren-
der the warranty invalid.
• Do not work with the compressor in the open air while
it is raining, or on a wet base. Any of these situations
could cause an electric shock.
• Always switch off the compressor after use and be-
fore doing any maintenance work. Press the ON/OFF
button and wait until the compressed air has escaped
from the tank via the drain valve. Then pull the power
supply plug.
