protruding or low level obstructions.
PREVENTION AND FIRST AID
Note: Werecommendalwayshaving:
-A suitable fire extinguisher (snow, powder) at your disposal.
-A fully equipped first-aid kit, easily accessible for accompaniment and operator.
-Mobile phone or other device for quickly calling emergency services.
Accompaniment familiar with the principles of first aid. Accompaniment must keep a safe distance from
the workplace while always seeing you!

Always follow the principles of first aid in case of any injuries.
•When an electric shock is caused, it is necessary more than anywhere else to put emphasis on safety
and risk elimination for the rescuers. The affected person usually stays in contact with electrical
equipment (source of injury) because of muscle spasms caused by the electric shock. Traumatic
process continues in this case. It is therefore necessary to TURN THE POWER OFF FIRST using any
possible way. Subsequently CALL AN AMBULANCE or other professional service.
IN CASE OF FIRE:
•If the motor starts to burn or it the smoke appears from it, turn the product off, disconnect power
supply and move away to safety.
•To extinguish the fire, use suitable fire extinguisher (CO2, Dry Powder, halotron).
•DO NOT PANIC. Panic can cause even more damage.

DRAINAGE OF AIR-TANK
It is necessary to drain the condensate from the tank after the each use. Periodically (or after completing
work if for more than an hour), drain the condensate that forms inside the reservoir due to the humidity
in the air in order to protect the reservoir from rust and so as not to restrict its capacity.
1. Drainage has to be done under the pressure,
max. 1 -2 bar.
2. Tilt the tank to the position of the drainage
output to the lowest part of the tank (fig. 7).
3. Remove the screw carefully; the air pressure
will displace the condensate from the tank.
4. When the tank contains only the clean air,
close and tight the screw.

THE CONTROL OF THE SAFETY VALVE
Check the condition of the safety valve before each use.
1. Make sure that the tank doesn’t include the pressure. Manometer (fig. 6E) should indicate 0 bar.
2. Pull the ring several times (fig. 8). The pin should be moved loosely.
3. If is the pin blocked inside the safety valve, don't use the machine and contact authorized service.
Never adjust the safety valve by yourself.
AIR FILTER CLEANING
