GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before attempting to operate this compressor the following basic safety precautions should
always be taken to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. It is important to
read the instruction manual to understand the application, limitations and potential hazards
associated with any tool. They are designed for the safety of yourself and others, ensuring a
long and trouble free service life from your machine.
SAFE OPERATION
Work Area
Workbenches should be kept tidy because cluttered benches and work areas invite accidents.
Floors should be kept clean and free from rubbish. Special care should be taken if the floor is
slippery due to sawdust or wax.
Work Environment
Keep the work area well lit. Do not use compressor in areas where there is a risk of explosion
or fire from combustible materials, flammable liquids, e.g., paint, varnish, petrol etc or flam-
mable gases and dust of an explosive nature.
Guard Against Electric Shock
Do not expose your compressor to rain, or use in damp or wet locations.
Beware Children and Pets
Children and pets should be kept out of the work area.
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 tool to do the job of a heavy-duty tool.
Personal safety Clothing
Do not wear loose clothing, jewellery or anything that could get caught in moving machinery.
Hair
Long hair should be tied back or contained in a protective covering.
Eye Protection
All ways use protective safety goggles or safety glasses.
Ear Protection
Ear protection is advised during periods of extended operation.
Footwear
Where there is a risk of heavy objects damaging feet or if there is a risk of slipping on wet or
slippery floors suitable non-slip safety footwear should be worn.

Secure the Work Piece
Wherever possible secure the work piece using clamps or a vice. It is safer than using your hand
and leaves both hands free to control the air tool.
Do Not Over-reach
Do not over-reach, keep proper footing and maintain your balance at all times.
Maintain Tools with Care
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow the instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories. Check the tool power cord periodically and if damaged
have it replaced by an authorised service facility. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Ensure that ventilation slots are kept clean and free from dust at all times. Blocked venti-
lation slots can cause overheating and damage to the motor.
Stay Alert
Watch what you are doing, use common sense, and do not operate the air tool when you are
tired or have taken medication that causes drowsiness, consumed alcohol or drugs.
FOR ADDITIONAL PROTECTION FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK
It is recommended that this tool be used in conjunction with a residual current device (RCD)
with a rated residual current of 30mA or less.
General Warnings for compressors
• Do not attempt to modify the compressor in any way.
• The use of any tools or accessory other than those designed for use with compressed air
could result in injury to the operator.
• The output pressure of the compressor should be adjusted to the design pressure of the
air tool or accessory being used.
• Always check that the output of the compressor does not exceed the maximum pressure
for any attached tool or accessory.
• Repairs should only be carried out by qualified persons using original spare parts. Fail-
ure to do so may result in considerable danger to the user.
Breathable Air Warning
This compressor/pump is not equipped and should not be used to supply breathing quality air
for any application of air for human consumption.
Overload protection. This compressor is fitted with an overload protection device. In the event
that the motor becomes too hot, a thermal protection device will cut the mains supply to the mo-
tor. When the motor temperature returns to normal the mains supply will be restored automati-
cally.

Extension Cords and Reels
In general, it is not recommended to use an extension lead. A longer air line is recommended as
voltage drop on extension leads may lead to motor damage and will void warranty. If a exten-
sion cord must be used, for lengths up to 5 metres, an approved 15amp rated cord must be
used.
Do Not Abuse the Power Cord
Never yank or pull on the power cord to disconnect it from the mains supply socket. Never carry
or drag your compressor by its power cord. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, solvents
and sharp edges. If the power cord becomes damaged have it replaced by an authorised service
facility.
Check Damaged Parts
Before using the compressor it should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate prop-
erly and perform its intended function. Check for the correct alignment of moving parts ensuring
they do not bind. Check for broken or missing parts and have them replaced or repaired at an
authorised service centre. Check any other condition that may affect the operation of the com-
pressor. A guard or any other part of the compressor that is damaged should be properly re-
paired or replaced by an authorised service centre.
Disconnect Compressor
Ensure that the compressor is disconnected from the mains supply and the tank is empty when
not in use, before servicing, lubricating or making adjustments to air lines when changing acces-
sories such as blades, bits, nails and cutters on air tools .
Avoid Unintentional Starting
Ensure that the switch is in the OFF position before plugging the compressor into the mains
supply
Turning the compressor ON and OFF
Use the red knob on top of the pressure switch to turn the unit on and off. Pull the knob up to
turn the compressor on and push the knob in to turn it off. Turning the unit on and off from the
mains supply only will result in damage to the motor and void warranty as the pressure switch
has an additional function to purge the air trapped in the delivery pipe when the motor is turned
off. This minimises the load on the motor when it is next started.
