GENERAL SAFETY RULES

Observe the following safety regulations to avoid risks of electric
shock, body injury or fire.
1. Keep the work place clean and tidy.
Untidiness in the work place increases risk of injury at work.
2. Pay attention to work place conditions.
Never leave the compressor in rain. Do not use the compressor in
damp or wet location, or close to flammable substances (fluid, gas).
Provide good work place illumination.
3. Protect yourself against electric shock.
Avoid direct contact with grounded objects, such as pipes, radiators,
ovens, refrigerators etc.
4. Protect the compressor work place against access of children
and animals.
Bystanders should stay away from operating compressor.
Store the compressor in a dry, closed place and beyond reach of children.
5. Do not overload the compressor.
The compressor should operate within limitations of working
parameters. This allows better, safer and more efficient operation.
6. Use proper personal protection measures when working with
the compressor.
Do not wear loose jewellery or other decorative items as there is risk
of catching by moving parts of the compressor. Pin your hair up and
hide under a cap.
7. Use goggles or protective glasses.
When working in a dusty room use protective half-mask that
protects your respiratory tract.
8. Never use the power cord for purposes it is not designed for.
Do not pull the compressor by its power supply cord. Never unplug
the power cord from mains socket by pulling the cord. Protect the
power cord against excessive temperature, oil and sharp edges.
9. Do not bend over the compressor.
Stand firmly and keep your balance at all times.
10. Keep the compressor in good condition.
Keep the compressor clean, this will ensure long and reliable
operation. Observe instructions in the manual. Check technical
condition of power cord and plug on a regular basis. Have it
repaired by a qualified specialist if found damaged. Check technical
condition of extension cord (if used) and replace if found damaged.
11. Disconnect the compressor from power supply.
If damage or wear of the power cord insulation is found, the
compressor should be immediately disconnected from the power
supply. Whenever the compressor is not in use, disconnect it from
power supply by unplugging from mains socket.
12. Do not leave objects on the compressor.
Make sure that tools and other objects are removed before turning
the compressor on.
13. Avoid accidental starting of the compressor.
Make sure the switch button is in OFF position prior to plugging the
compressor to power supply.
14. Check the compressor against wear symptoms.
Each time you turn the compressor on carefully check all safety
items and other accessible parts for damages and whether they can
operate as designed. All stationary parts must be well fixed to make
sure the device will operate properly.
Damaged safety items and moving parts of the compressor should
be repaired or replaced in a service workshop, unless otherwise
stated in this manual. Faulty switches should be replaced by service
workshop. When the switch does not allow to switch on or off, do
not attempt to repair it.
15. Important!
For your own safety use only original parts and accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer. Use of other parts bears high
risk of an accident.

DETAILED SAFETY REGULATIONS
Observe the following regulations for occupational health and
safety.
• Do not direct air stream at people, animals or at yourself.
• Do not use compressed air to clean clothes on a person.
• Stream of liquid sprayed by devices connected to the compressor
must not be directed onto the compressor.
• Do not work barefoot or with wet hands.
• Do not move the compressor with pressurised tank.
• Do not weld or repair the tank. Replace the tank in authorised service
workshop in case of damage or corrosion.
• Do not allow inexperienced persons to operate the compressor.
• Clean the compressor with damp cloth and mild detergent only.
• The compressor is designed solely for air compression, do not use it
for any other gas.
• Compressor and its hoses reach high temperature during operation.
Avoid contact! Risk of burns!
• When disconnecting devices hold the connection part in hand to
avoid body injury resulting from reaction kick.
• Wear anti-splinter goggles at work. Foreign body particles thrown
with compressed air may cause body and eye injuries.
• Do not use paints and solvents with ignition temperature below 210°C.
• Do not heat up paints or solvents.
• Observe safety information provided by manufacturers of used liquids.
• When lacquer spraying the operator and other persons in the room
must not smoke under any circumstances. Paint fumes are highly
flammable.
• When paint and lacquer is sprayed, a protective mask should be used
to prevent from inhaling toxic substances.
• Make sure there are no open flames or sparking devices in the room
where the compressor operates.
• Do not eat or drink in the room where you work. Paint fumes are
dangerous to health.
• The compressor can be used in rooms with efficient ventilation
systems and in the ambient temperature ranging from +5°C to +40°C.
• Act reasonably and in accordance with respective regulations.
• Power cord extensions can be used provided that they are equipped
with a protection wire and have the maximum length of 5m and cross-
section greater than 1.5 mm
USE OF PRESSURE TANKS
Pressure tank is used to hold pressurised air and should be used in static
conditions. Proper use of the tank is the basic condition for keeping it safe.
Therefore, user should observe the following instructions:
• Use the tank properly within defined temperature and pressure
limitations, provided by the manufacturer and marked on the rating plate.
• Do not carry out tank repair or maintenance works when under pressure.
• Make sure all protection and regulation devices work properly, and
when necessary obtain the manufacturer's consent to replace with
new devices of the same specification.
• Safety valve should be set to working pressure of the tank and
compressor, then sealed.
• Avoid tank operation in poorly ventilated rooms whenever possible.
Avoid tank installation close to sources of heat or flammable substances.
• Do not attach the tank or parts installed with it to floor or other
stationary structures.
• Prevent corrosion: operating conditions may cause accumulation of
condensation water that must be removed.
IMPROPER USE OF THE TANK AND UNASSISTED TINKERING BY
UNAUTHORISED PERSONS IS PROHIBITED. DO NOT ADJUST SAFETY VALVE.
The user must follow regulations for pressure devices that are in force in
the country where the tank is used.
Never use the pressure tank when its damage put workers and
bystanders in danger.
In case of wall defect the pressure tank must be taken out of service.
CAUTION! This device is designed to operate indoors.
The design is assumed to be safe, protection measures and
additional safety systems are used, nevertheless there is always a
small risk of injuries at work.
