– Damaged protective devices and parts must be
properly repaired or replaced by a recognised
workshop, insofar as nothing different is speci-
fied in the operating manual.
– Damaged switches must be replaced at a cus-
tomer service workshop.
– Do not use any faulty or damaged connection
cables.
– Do not use any electric tool on which the switch
cannot be switched on and off.
15. Have your electric tool repaired by a qualified
electrician
– This electric tool conforms to the applicable
safety regulations. Repairs may only be per-
formed by an electrician using original spare
parts. Otherwise accidents can occur.
16. Important
– For your own safety you must only use the ac-
cessories and additional units listed in the oper-
ating 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.
17. Noise
– Wear ear muffs when you use the compressor.
18. Replacing the power cable
– To prevent hazards, leave the replacement of
damaged power cables strictly to the manufac-
turer or a qualified electrician. There is a risk of
electric shock!
19. Inflating tires
– Directly after inflating tires, check the pressure
with a suitable pressure gauge, for example at
your filling station.
20. Roadworthy compressors for building site opera-
tions
– Make sure that all lines and fittings are suitable
for the maximum permissible operating pressure
of the compressor.
21. Place of installation
– 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).
23. Avoid over-stressing the piping system by using
flexible hose connections to prevent kinking.
24. Use a residual current circuit breaker with a trig-
ger current of 30 mA or less. Using a residual cur-
rent circuit breaker reduces the risk of an electric
shock.
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 compressed
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 com-
pressor during operation.
• 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 rebounding
hose.
• Wear safety goggles and a respirator when working
with the compressed air pistol. Dusts are harmful
to health! Injuries can be easily caused by foreign
objects and blown away parts.
• Do not blow at people with the blow-out pistol and
do not clean clothes while being worn. Risk of in-
jury!
Safety instructions when using spraying attach-
ments (e.g. paint sprayers)
• Keep the spray attachment away from the com-
pressor 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 explo-
sion!
• 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.
