FOR YOUR SAFETY
As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with their operation and use.
Exercising respect and caution will considerably lessen the risk of personal injury.
However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked, or ignored, personal injury to
the operator, or damage to property may result.
It is in your own interest to read and pay attention to the following rules:
General Precautions
ALWAYS
•
ensure that all individuals using the compressor have read and fully understand the
Operating Instructions supplied.
•
stop the engine and ensure the pressure is expelled from the air receiver BEFORE carrying
out any maintenance.
•
ensure that there is adequate ventilation when spraying flammable materials e.g.
cellulose paint, and keep clear of any possible source of ignition.
•
protect yourself. Think carefully about any potential hazards which may be created by using
the air compressor and use the appropriate protection. e.g. Goggles will protect your eyes
from flying particles. Face masks will protect you against paint spray and/or fumes.
•
consult paint manufacturers instructions for safety and usage, before spraying
•
ensure that the air supply is turned off at the machine outlet and all pressurised air from
the machine and other equipment attached to it, is expelled BEFORE disconnecting air
hoses or other equipment.
•
make sure that children and animals are kept well away from the compressor and any
equipment attached to it.
•
ensure that any equipment or tool used in conjunction with your compressor, has a
safety working pressure exceeding that of the machine.
NEVER
•
direct a jet of air at people or animals, and NEVER discharge compressed air against
the skin. COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS!
•
leave pressure in the receiver overnight, or when transporting.
•
adjust, or tamper with the safety valves. The maximum pressure is factory set, and clearly
marked on the machine.
•
operate in wet or damp conditions. Keep the machine dry at all times. Similarly, a clean
atmosphere will ensure efficient operation. Do not use in dusty or otherwise dirty locations.
•
touch the machine until it has cooled down...some of the metal parts can become
quite hot during operation.
•
operate your compressor with any guards removed.
