Use and treatment of the device
a) Do not overload the device. Use the
correct device for your work. Use of the
appropriate device for the specified power
range means you can work better with opti-
mised safety.
b) Never use a device if it has a defective
switch. If a device cannot be switched on
or off, it must be repaired because further use
would be dangerous.
c) Before adjusting the device settings
or changing accessories, always pull
the power plug out of the socket to
prevent inadvertent start-up of the
device. This precautionary measure prevents
the unintentional starting of the device.
d) Keep unused devices out of the reach
of children. Never allow persons who
are unfamiliar with this type of device
to use it, nor anyone who has not read
these instructions. Devices are dangerous if
used by inexperienced persons.
The following residual hazards are always present
with compressed air devices and cannot be com-
pletely eliminated by safety devices:
Risk of injury due to escaping com-
pressed air and parts which may be
swept up with the compressed air!
▸
Never direct the compressed air directly at
people or animals.
▸
Ensure that all compressed air devices and acces-
sory parts used are designed for the working
pressure or are connected via pressure reducers.

ried out by qualified specialist tech-
nicians and with original spare parts
only. This will ensure the continuing safe
operation of the device.
When undoing the quick-release coupling, be
aware that the compressed air contained in the
air hose may suddenly escape. Therefore hold
the end of the air hose that is being released
firmly.
Ensure that all screw connections are always fully
tightened.
Do not repair the device yourself. Only special-
ists may repair compressors, pressure tanks and
compressed air devices.
