children, individuals unfamiliar with its operation or
unauthorised personnel.
15 . KEEP ALL SCREWS, BOLTS AND COVERS TIGHTLY IN PLACE.
Keep all screws, bolts, and plates tightly mounted. Check
their conditions periodically.
16 . KEEP MOTOR AIR VENT CLEAN The motor air vent must be
kept clean so that air can freely flow at all times. Check for
dust build-up frequently.
17 . NEVER USE A COMPRESSOR WHICH IS DEFECTIVE OR
OPERATING ABNORMALLY. If the compressor appears to
be operating unusually, making strange noises, or otherwise
appears defective, stop using it immediately and arrange for
repairs by an authorized service centre.
18 . DO NOT WIPE PLASTIC PARTS WITH SOLVENT. Solvents
such as gasoline, thinner, benzine, carbon tetrachloride,
and alcohol may damage and crack plastic parts. Do not
wipe them with such solvents. Wipe plastic parts with a soft
cloth lightly dampened with soapy water and dry thoroughly.
19 . USE ONLY GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS. Replacement
parts not original may void your warranty and can lead
to malfunction and resulting injuries. Genuine parts are
available from your dealer.
20 . DO NOT MODIFY THE COMPRESSOR. Do not modify
the compressor. Always contact the authorised service
centre any repairs. Unauthorised modification may not
only impair the compressor performance but may also
result in accident or injury to repair personnel who do
not have the required knowledge and technical expertise
to perform the repair operations correctly. Unauthorised
modifications may increase the risk of injury to the user or the
risk of property damage.
21 . TURN OFF THE SWITCH WHEN THE COMPRESSOR IS NOT
USED. When the compressor is not used, turn the switch OFF,
disconnect it from the power source and open the drain cock to
discharge the compressed air from the air tank.
22 . NEVER TOUCH HOT SURFACE. To reduce the risk of burns, do
not touch tubes, heads, cylinder and motors.
23 . DO NOT DIRECT AIR STREAM AT BODY. Risk of injury, do not
direct air stream at persons or animals.
24 . DRAIN TANK DAILY OR AFTER EACH USE. Open the
drain valve and tilt compressor to completely empty
accumulated water. Failure to properly drain tank may result
in excessive corrosion, which may cause sudden air tank rupture
or explosion.
25 . DO NOT STOP COMPRESSOR BY PULLING OUT THE
BATTERY. Use the auto ON/ OFF switch.
26 . USE ONLY RECOMMENDED AIR HANDLING PARTS
ACCEPTABLE FOR PRESSURE NOT LESS THAN 9.6 BAR
Risk of bursting. Use only recommended air handling parts
acceptable for pressures not less than 9.6 bar.
27 . WEAR PROPER HEARING AND HEAD PROTECTION. Suitable
protective clothing must be worn when operating the
compressor and connected tool or accessory. Consult the
tool/ accessory manual and adhere to any safety requirements.
28 . MAKE ALLOWANCE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
Never leave the compressor in the rain. Never use the
compressor in damp or wet conditions. Provide good
lighting. Never use the compressor near combustible liquids
or gases.
29 . DO NOT OPERATE IN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES, SUCH
AS IN THE PRESENCE OF FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, GASES OR
DUST. Compressors can create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
30 . CHECK THE PRESSURE VESSEL FOR SIGNS OF RUST
AND DAMAGE EACH TIME BEFORE USING. Do not use the
compressor with a damaged or rusty pressure vessel.
Residual Risks
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks
cannot be avoided. These are:
•
Impairment of hearing.
•
Risk of personal injury due to flying particles.
•
Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot
during operation.
•
Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Chargers
D
WALT chargers require no adjustment and are designed to be
e
as easy as possible to operate.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only.
Always check that the battery pack voltage corresponds to the
voltage on the rating plate. Also make sure that the voltage of
your charger corresponds to that of your mains.
i
Your D
WALTcharger is double insulated in
e
accordance with EN60335; therefore no earth wire
is required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by
D
WALT or an authorised service organisation.

•
Connect the blue lead to the neutral terminal.
WARNING: No connection is to be made to the
earth terminal.
Follow the fitting instructions supplied with good quality plugs.
Recommended fuse: 3 A.
Using an Extension Cable
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use an approved extension cable suitable for the
power input of your charger (see Technical Data). The minimum
conductor size is 1 mm
; the maximum length is 30 m.
