Safety Guidelines - Nu-Air KOBALT K13015F Manual Del Operador

The following information relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS.
To help you recognize this information, we use the following symbols. Please read the manual and pay attention to these sections.
DANGER: - A POTENTIAL HAZARD THAT WILL CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.
WARNING:
- A POTENTIAL HAZARD THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.
CAUTION: - A POTENTIAL HAZARD THAT MAY CAUSE MODERATE INJURY OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
WARNING:
1. RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION. Never spray
flammable liquids in a confined area. It is normal for
the motor and pressure switch to produce sparks while
operating. If sparks come into contact with vapors from
gasoline or other solvents, they may ignite, causing
fire or explosion. Always operate the compressor in a
well-ventilated area. Do not smoke while spraying. Do
not spray where sparks or flame are present. Keep
compressor as far from spray area as possible.
2. RISK OF BURSTING. Rust can weaken the tank. Drain
the condensed water from the tank after each use to
reduce rusting. If a leak is detected in the tank, replace
the tank immediately. Do not weld, drill or modify the
air tank of this compressor. Welding or modifications
on the air compressor tank can severely impair tank
strength and cause an extremely hazardous condition.
Welding or modifying the tank in any manner will void
the warranty.
3. RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. A licensed electrician
in accordance with all local and national codes must
install all wiring. Never use an electric air compressor
outdoors when it is raining or on a wet surface, as it
may cause an electric shock.
4. RISK OF INJURY. This unit starts automatically.
ALWAYS shut off the compressor, remove the plug
from the outlet, and bleed all pressure from the system
before servicing the compressor, and when the
compressor is not in use. Do not operate the unit with
the shroud removed. Serious injury could occur from
contact with moving parts.
5. RISK OF BURSTING. Check the manufacturer's
maximum pressure rating for air tools and accessories.
Compressor outlet pressure must be regulated so as to
never exceed the maximum pressure rating of the tool.
Relieve all pressure through the hose before attaching
or removing accessories.
CAUTION:
1. Drain the moisture from the tank on a daily basis. A
clean, dry tank will help prevent corrosion.
2. Pull the pressure relief valve ring daily to ensure that
the valve is functioning properly, and to clear the valve
of any possible obstructions.
3. To provide proper ventilation for cooling, the
compressor must be kept a minimum of 12 inches (31
cm) from the nearest wall, in a well-ventilated area.
4. Fasten the compressor down securely if transporting
is necessary. Pressure must be released from the tank
before transporting.

SAFETY GUIDELINES

6. RISK OF BURNS. High temperatures are generated
by the pump and manifold. To prevent burns or other
injuries, DO NOT touch the pump, manifold or transfer
tube while the pump is running. Allow them to cool
before handling or servicing. Keep children away from
the compressor at all times.
7. RISK TO BREATHING. Do not use this air compressor
to spray chemicals. Your lungs can be damaged by
inhaling toxic fumes. A respirator may be necessary
in dusty environments or when spraying paint. Do not
carry while painting.
8. RISK OF EYE INJURY. Always wear ANSI Z87.1
approved safety goggles when using an air
compressor. Never point any nozzle or sprayer toward
a person or any part of the body. Equipment can cause
serious injury if the spray penetrates the skin.
9. RISK OF BURSTING. Do not tamper with the control
knob or adjust the relief valve for any reason. Doing
so voids all warranties. They have been preset at the
factory for the maximum pressure of this unit.
Personal injury and/or property damage may result if
the control board or the relief valve are tampered with.
10. RISK OF BURSTING. Check hoses for weak or
worn condition before each use, making certain all
connections are secure. Do not use if defect is found.
Purchase a new hose or notify an authorized service
center for examination or repair.
11. RISK TO HEARING. Always wear hearing protection
when using an air compressor. Failure to do so may
result in hearing loss.
12. RISK TO BREATHING. Never directly inhale the
compressed air produced by a compressor. It is not
suitable for breathing purposes.
13. The power cord on this product contains lead, a
chemical known to the State of California to cause
cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
5. Protect the air hose and electric cord from damage and
puncture. Inspect them weekly for weak or worn spots,
and replace if necessary.
6. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to
rain. Store indoors.
7. Never operate the compressor if the power cord or
plug are damaged. Take the equipment to the nearest
Authorized Service Center, and have a Technician
replace it.
