Important!
For your own safety you must only use the
–
accessories and additional units listed in the
operating instructions or recommended or
specified by the manufacturer. The use of
mounted tools or accessories other than those
recommended in the operating instructions or
catalog may place your personal safety at risk.

To prevent hazards, leave the replacement of
–
damaged power cables strictly to the manu
facturer or a qualified electrician.
There is a risk of electric shock!

Roadworthy compressors for building site opera
tions
Make sure that all lines and fittings are suit
–
able for the maximum permissible operating
pressure of the compressor.
Place of installation
20
–
Set up the compressor on an even surface.
22.
Supply hoses at pressures above 7 bar should be
equipped with a safety cable (e.g. a wire rope).
Avoid overstressing the piping system by using
23.
flexible hose connections to prevent kinking.
Use a residual current circuit breaker with a trig
24.
ger current of 30 mA or less. Using a residual cur
rent circuit breaker reduces the risk of an electric
shock.
Warning! This electric tool generates an electro
magnetic field during operation. This field can
impair active or passive medical implants under
certain conditions. In order to prevent the risk of
serious or deadly injuries, we recommend that
persons with medical implants consult with their
physician and the manufacturer of the medical
implant prior to operating the electric tool.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Observe the corresponding operating manuals
of the respective compressed air tools / com-
pressed air attachments! The following general
warnings must also be observed.
Safety instructions for working with com-
pressed air and blasting guns
• Ensure there is sufficient distance to the product,
at least 2.50 m, and keep the compressed air
tools / compressed air attachments away from
the compressor during operation.
20 | GB
• The compressor pump and lines can become very
hot during operation. Touching these parts will burn
you.
• The air which is sucked in by the compressor
must be kept free of impurities that could cause
fires or explosions in the compressor pump.
• When releasing the hose coupling, hold the hose
coupling piece with your hand. This way, you can
protect yourself against injury from the rebound
ing hose.
• Wear safety goggles when working with the
blow-out pistol. Foreign bodies or blown off parts
can easily cause injuries.
• Wear safety goggles and a respirator when work
ing with the compressed air pistol. Dusts are harm
ful to health! Injuries can be easily caused by for
eign objects and blown away parts.
• Do not blow at people with the blowout pistol and
do not clean clothes while being worn. Risk of injury!
Safety
instructions
when
attachments (e.g. paint sprayers*)
• Keep the spray attachment away from the
compressor when filling so that no liquid comes into
contact with the compressor.
• Never spray in the direction of the compressor
when using the spraying attachments (e.g. paint
sprayers). Moisture can lead to electrical hazards!
• Do not process any paints or solvents with a fl ash
point below 55 °C. Risk of explosion!
• Do not heat up paints or solvents. Risk of explosion!
• If hazardous liquids are processed, wear protective
filter units (face guards). Also, adhere to the safety
information provided by the manufacturers of such
liquids.
• The details and designations of the Ordinance on
Hazardous Substances, which are displayed on the
outer packaging of the processed material, must be
observed. Additional protective measures are to be
undertaken if necessary, particularly the wearing of
suitable clothing and masks.
• Do not smoke during the spraying process and/or
in the work area. Risk of explosion! Paint vapours
are easily combustible.
• Never set up or operate the equipment in the vicinity
of a fire place, open lights or sparking machines.
• Do not store or eat food and drink in the work area.
Paint vapours are harmful to your health.
• The work area must exceed 30 m³ and suffi cient
ventilation must be ensured during spraying and
drying.
• Do not spray against the wind. Always adhere to
the regulations of the local police authority when
spraying combustible or hazardous materials.
• Do not process media such as white spirit, butyl
alcohol and methylene chloride with the PVC
pressure hose. These media will destroy the
pressure hose.
