4. Intended use
The compressor is designed to generate compressed air for
compressed-air driven tools which can be driven with an air
volume of up to approx. 260 l/min (e.g. tire inflator, blow-
out pistol and paint spray gun). Due to the limited air output
it is not possible to use the compressor to drive tools with
very high air consumption (for example orbital sanders, die
grinders and hammer screwdrivers).
The equipment is to be used only for its prescribed purpose.
Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse. The user
/ operator and not the manufacturer will be liable for any
damage or injuries of any kind caused as a result of this.
Please note that our equipment has not been designed for
use in commercial, trade or industrial applications. Our
warranty will be voided if the equipment is used in com-
mercial, trade or industrial businesses or for equivalent
purposes.
