5. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.
This equipment, if improperly used, can cause physical and material damage. To avoid this, follow the
instructions below:
• This equipment must not be used by people with physical, sensorial, or mental handicaps, or without know-
ledge of use and training.
• People without the proper experience or knowledge may use this equipment only if supervised and instruc-
ted by someone who is responsible for his or her safety.
• This equipment must not be used by children under any circumstances.
• Do not use your equipment when tired, under the influence of medication, alcohol or drugs. Lack of attention
during operation may result in serious personal injury;
• May cause mechanical or electrical interference on nearby sensitive equipment;
• Must be installed and operated in places that are ventilated and protected against humidity and presence
of water.
2.
Choose the equipment model best suited for its intended use, don't exceed maximum capacity, if necessary,
acquire a more suitable model for your application. This will increase efficiency and safety in your work;
3.
Always use suitable personal protective equipment (PPE), according to each application, such as dust
glasses and masks, closed non-skid safety shoes and ear protection. This reduces the risks against
personal injury;
4.
As any motorized equipment, this product emits noise during operation. The recommendation is to install
and/or use it in an enclosed place or away from others in the neighborhood, in order to reduce the impacts
caused by noise pollution;
5.
While in use, the equipment has electrical components and hot moving parts;
6.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, the following is recommended:
• Install a residual current circuit breaker. Consult an electrician to select and install this safety device;
• Do not use the equipment barefoot, in wet or very humid places, or do not touch metal surfaces,
such as pipes, motors, gutters, fences, windows, doors, metal gates, etc, since this increases the risk of
electrical shock;
• Before cleaning or performing maintenance, disconnect the equipment from the electrical power supply;
• Do not make splices in the cord. If required, ask for a power cord replacement through the nearest Schulz
Authorized Dealer (costs of power cable replacement are the sole responsibility of the customer).
• Power outlet must be compatible to the equipment's plug. To reduce the risk of shock, do not change the
plug's characteristics and do not use adapters. If required, replace the outlet with a suitable plug model.
• Do not use your electric equipment in explosive atmospheres (gas, liquid or dust). The motor may generate
sparks that may cause explosion;
• Make sure the power switch is in the "off" position before connecting the equipment to the power supply.
• Do not make holes on power cords, gas or water pipes. Contact with water or electric wires may cause elec-
tric shock. The equipment's electric motor generates sparks which when in contact with flammable gases
may cause an explosion;

The user of this product, in case of inspection, must keep the pressure vessel's record book,
provided by the manufacturer, available, attached to the other safety documents required by the
standards provided by the country's current legislation, for as long as the vessel is used, until it is
disposed of. The final user must follow the standards required in the local legislation regarding
installation, maintenance, and operation of the pressure vessel (compressed air tank). The pres-
sure vessel's useful life depends on several factors that contribute to determine it. This aspect
must be monitored and established by a certified professional, according to the local legislation.
