1.3 Using the compressor
The compressor is an electrical device that is powered by supply
voltage. It has been designed so that no live parts are accessi-
ble. However, if ambient conditions are unfavourable or if the
compressor or power cord is damaged, this protection may no
longer be assured. Therefore, please follow the instructions be-
low to avoid damage to the device and the associated danger of
contact with live parts (e.g., electric shock):
– The compressor is not splashproof. Protect the device and the
power cord from liquid and moisture. Never handle the device,
the power cord or the power plug with damp hands. In addi-
tion, the device must not be operated in a damp environment.
– Only use the PARI power cord to operate the compressor.
– Never leave the compressor unattended while it is in use.
– For safety reasons, always disconnect the power plug from the
socket under the following circumstances:
- if a malfunction occurs during operation
- before cleaning and maintaining the device
- immediately after use
– Always pull the power plug, not the cable, to disconnect the
power cord from the socket.
– Make sure that the power cord is never kinked, pinched or
jammed. Do not pull the power cord over sharp edges.
– Keep the compressor and the power cord away from hot sur-
faces (e.g., stove top, electric fire, open fire). Direct heat may
damage the compressor housing or the power cord insulation.
– Keep the power cord away from domestic animals (e.g., ro-
dents). They may damage the power cord insulation.
– The compressor must not be operated and/or the power plug
must be unplugged from the socket immediately if the com-
pressor or the power cord is damaged, or if a fault is suspected
after the device has been dropped or suffered a similar shock.
