General safety instructions ... / General safety information for electrical devices
Disconnect the compressed air unit from the air
supply after each use and when not in use. Do
not use the compressed air unit if it leaks or is
in need of repair.
Keep your working area clean and well lit.
Untidy or poorly lit working areas can result in
accidents. Doing so will allow you better con-
trol of the device, particularly under unforeseen
circumstances.
Only have the device repaired by qualified
specialist personnel using OEM spare parts.
This will maintain the safety of the device.
Keep children and other persons away from
the device during use. Distractions can cause
you to lose control of the device.
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves clear of moving parts. Loose cloth-
ing, jewellery or long hair can become trapped
in moving parts.
Put down trigger and device in the event of
unexpected compressor failure.
If possible, use a condensate trap or drain the
hoses and pipes of condensate (water) regu-
larly before and during the use compressed air
units.
ATTENTION! An undersized compressed air
system may minimise the efficiency of your
device.
Never point the compressed air unit at yourself,
other persons or animals. Otherwise there is a
risk of injury.
Always observe all the safety notices attached
to the compressor.
Make sure that the compressor intake opening
is never blocked and the airflow is never hin-
dered.
Switch off the device and pull the plug from the
socket to prevent it from being accidentally
switched on.
Do not allow yourself to become distracted

calibrated device after filling.
General safety information
for electrical devices
Always connect the device to a residual current
(FI) protective switch.
Protect yourself against electric shock. As you
are working, avoid touching grounded parts
(e.g. refrigerator, water supply pipes etc.).
DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Avoid
contact with live lines. This device is not insu-
