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 fl ammable 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 fi nal user must follow the standards required in the local legislation regarding
installation, maintenance, and operation of the pressure vessel (compressed air tank). The pres-
