KEEP ALL SCREWS AND COVERS TIGHTLY IN PLACE: Check the screws and covers
periodically.
ADEQUATE VENTILATION: The compressor should only be used in areas with
adequate ventilation and should not be exposed to heat, or used near inflammable
substances.
NEVER USE AN AIR COMPRESSOR WHICH APPEARS DEFECTIVE OR IS OPERATING
ABNORMALLY: If the compressor operates unusually or makes strange noises, switch
off immediately and purge the air tank. Arrange repair with an authorised service
centre.
DO NOT MODIFY THE AIR COMPRESSOR: Do not attempt to modify the air compressor,
tank, fittings or attachments in any way. Doing so will invalidate the guarantee
and could result in personal injury.
DO NOT MODIFY THE TANK: Do not modify the tank or operate at pressures or
temperatures outside the limits stated in this booklet.
TURN OFF THE AIR COMPRESSOR WHEN NOT IN USE: When not in use, turn off the air
compressor by pressing the On/Off switch, remove the plug from the mains supply
and slowly undo the drain valve to release the pressure from the tank. Remember
to close the drain valve before storage and ensure it is fully tightened before use.
DO NOT TOUCH HOT SURFACES: During operation, the motor, connections,
compressor body, cylinder head and tubes may get hot, please take care.
DO NOT DIRECT THE AIR STREAM AT THE BODY: Do not direct the air stream at people
or animals, as injury may result. Compressed air can cause soft tissue damage and
propel dirt and other particles at high speed.
ONLY USE RECOMMENDED PARTS: To avoid the risk of bursting, only hoses with a
rated pressure of 10 bar, or more should be used. Never attempt to repair faulty
hoses.
DO NOT USE THIS COMPRESSOR TO INFLATE SMALL, LOW-PRESSURE OBJECTS: Items
such as children's toys or footballs can explode if over-inflated.
AVOID KINKING OR TRAPPING THE AIR HOSE: Always replace faulty hoses - never
attempt a repair if a leak is detected.
DRAIN TANK: Drain the tank after each use. Switch off and slowly open the drain
valve to release the air then tilt the compressor to empty condensed water.

compressor as shown. See figure 10.
2 Remove the sponge filter from the
filter cover. See figure 11.

using a soft brush.
• If necessary, the sponge filter may
be gently washed in warm soapy
water,
