DO NOT ABUSE THE POWER CORD
Never yank or pull on the power cord to disconnect it from the mains
supply socket. Never carry or pull your air compressor by its power
cord. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, solvents and sharp
edges. Regularly check the plug and cord and if damaged have it
replaced by an authorised service facility.
EXTENSION CORDS AND REELS
This air compressor MUST be plugged directly into a 240V AC wall
socket.
This air compressor is NOT designed to be run off an extension cord/lead. If you
need extra distance do NOT use an extension cord, USE A LONGER AIR HOSE.
The use of extension cords may cause power voltage loss and will result
in damage to the motor. This will NOT be covered under warranty.
SECURE THE WORK PIECE
Whenever possible secure the work piece using clamps or a vice. It is safer
than using your hands or feet and leaves both hands free to control the tool.
HOT COMPONENTS
Beware many of the components will get hot during use. Never touch
any of the metal pipes, pump or motor as these may burn.
MAINTAIN YOUR AIR COMPRESSOR WITH
CARE
Follow the instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Check
the air compressor power cord periodically and if damaged have it
replaced by an authorised service facility. Keep handles clean, dry and
free from oil and grease. Ensure that ventilation slots are kept clean
and free from dust at all times. Blocked ventilation slots or air filter can
cause overheating and damage to the motor and this will not be covered
under warranty.
DISCONNECT AIR COMPRESSOR
Ensure that the air compressor is disconnected from the mains supply
when not in use, before servicing, lubricating, making adjustments or
when changing any accessories.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS
AND WRENCHES
Form the habit of always checking to see that any adjusting keys or
wrenches have been removed from the air compressor or attached air
tools before operating.
AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING
Ensure that the switch is in the ‘OFF’ position before plugging the
air compressor into the mains supply.
PROTECT FURNISHINGS
If using the air compressor inside your house, protect furnishings
and floors with a suitable dust sheet.
FIRE PRECAUTIONS
When using the air compressor inside your house or workshop general
fire precautions should be observed. As a precaution it is recommended
that an expert is consulted on obtaining and using a suitable fire
extinguisher.
CLEANING YOUR AIR COMPRESSOR
Always disconnect your air compressor from the mains power supply
before you commence cleaning. Always ensure that your air compressor
has cooled, about one (1) hour, before cleaning and storing. When
cleaning your air compressor use only a damp soft cloth. NEVER use
liquid or solvents of any type.
