1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
PRECAUTIONS ON USING THE COM-
PRESSOR
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Most accidents that result from compressor op-
eration and maintenance are caused by the fail-
ure to observe basic safety rules or precautions.
An accident can often be avoided by recognizing
a potentially hazardous situation before it occurs,
and by observing appropriate safety procedures.
Basic safety precautions are outlines in the
"SAFETY" section of this Instruction Manual and
in the sections which contain the operation and
maintenance instructions.
Hazards that must be avoided to prevent bodily
injury or machine damage are identified by
WARNINGS on the compressor and in this In-
struction Manual.
Never use this compressor in a manner that has
not been specifically recommended by manufac-
turer, unless you first confirm that the planned
use will be safe for you and others.

In order to prevent an electric shock, use a 3-
core extension cord with a 3-pole earthing
plug and a 3-core earthing plug socket.
Make sure that the extension cord is in the
good working condition. If the cord is dam-
aged, replace or repair it. The cord should
have a sufficient capacity for the current run-
ning to the product. The cord of an insuffi-
cient capacity will cause a voltage drop or an
electric power loss, resulting in overheating.
