LUBRICATION OF COMPRESSOR
This compressor is OIL FREE. Therefore there  
is NO oil used for lubrication.
ASSEMBLY
This compressor MUST be fully assembled by you prior to 
use.  Failure to do so will result in the warranty being VOID.  
Failure to fully assemble this compressor may also result in 
personal injury.
SAFETY
Before attempting to operate this air compressor the 
following basic safety precautions should be taken to 
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.  
It is important to read the instruction manual and to 
understand applications, limitations and potential hazards 
associated with the air compressor.  This air compressor 
is not intended for use by persons (including children) 
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or 
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been 
given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the 
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
BEWARE OF CHILDREN AND PETS
Children and pets should be kept out of the work area.  
Children should not be allowed to touch or operate the air 
compressor, tools or extension cords.  This air compressor 
is not designed for use by young children or infirm persons 
without supervision.  The air compressor and tools should be 
kept out of reach of children, preferably stored or locked in a 
secure cabinet or room when not in use.
WORK AREA
Work areas and benches should be kept tidy.  Cluttered 
benches and work areas can cause accidents.  Floors 
should be kept clean and free from rubbish.  Special care 
should be taken when the floor is slippery due to sawdust 
or wax.  Always leave sufficient distance, at least 5 metres 
between the air compressor and the work area, especially 
when using tools designed for sanding or spraying liquids. 
If needed, use a longer air hose to reach your work area.
WORK ENVIRONMENT
Do not expose your air compressor to rain or use in damp 
or wet conditions.  Keep the work area well lit.  Always 
ensure your compressor is level and stable.  Using your 
compressor on unlevel or unstable ground may cause it to 
tip over, this damage will not be covered under warranty. 
Do not use your air compressor in the same area that you 
are spray painting or sanding.  Always use your compressor 
in clean air.  If needed use a longer air hose to reach your 
work area.
GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces  
(e.g. pipes and refrigerators).
DO NOT OVERLOAD AIR COMPRESSORS
The air compressor will do a better, safer job and give you 
much better service if it’s used at the duty cycle for which it 
was designed.  The duty cycle will only take effect after the 
initial (1st ) tank fill for the day.  This air compressor’s duty 
cycle is 75%.  Duty cycle is the proportion of time during 
which the air compressor is operated.  This means after 45 
seconds of operation, motor pumping, the air compressor 
must be left for 15 seconds resting, motor not pumping. 
When the motor is pumping the attached air tool can not be 
used.  Only use the attached air tool while the compressor 
is not pumping.  Stop using the attached tool as soon as the 
air compressor starts pumping.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL
Select the right tool for the job.  Do not use a tool for a 
job for which it was not designed.  Do not force a small air 
compressor to do the job of a heavy–duty air compressor.  
Do not use the air compressor for purposes not intended.
