1. General Safety Warnings
Note! The instructions provided in this manual have been written to assist the operator
throughout the use and maintenance of the compressor and its controller (AR1710).
Important instructions for the safe use of the compressor warning: the inappropriate use
and poor maintenance of the compressor and its controller may cause physical injury to
the user. You are recommended to carefully follow the instructions provided hereafter to
avoid such risks.
Do not touch moving parts. Never put your hands, fingers or other parts of the
body near moving parts of the compressor.
Never use the compressor without the safety guards fitted. Never use the
compressor without all the safety guards fitted perfectly in their correct place (i.e.
panelling, belt guard, safety valve). If these parts are to be removed for
maintenance or servicing purposes, ensure that they are put back in their original
place perfectly before using the compressor again.
Always wear safety goggles. Always wear goggles or equivalent eye protection
means. Never direct compressed air towards any part of your body or that of
others.
Protect yourself against electric shocks. Avoid accidentally touching the metal
parts of the compressor with your body, such as pipes, the tank or metal parts
connected to earth. Never use the compressor where there is water or in damp
rooms.
Disconnect the compressor. Disconnect the compressor from the electric power
supply and completely discharge the pressure from the tank before carrying out
any service, inspection, maintenance, cleaning, replacing or inspection jobs of
each part.
Never move the compressor while it is connected to the electrical power supply
or when the tank is pressurized. Ensure that the main switch is turned off before
connecting the compressor to the electrical power supply.
Store the compressor and its controller appropriately. When the compressor is
not in use, it must be stored in a dry room away from atmospheric agents.
Keep the work area clean and remove any tools that are not required. Keep the
work area sufficiently ventilated. Never use the compressor in the presence of
flammable liquids or gas. The compressor may produce sparks while running. Do
not use the compressor where there may be paints, gasoline, chemical
compounds, glues and any other flammable or explosive material.
Do not wear unsuitable clothing, ties or jewellery as these may get caught up in
moving parts. Wear caps to cover your hair if necessary.
