LUBRICATION OF COMPRESSOR
This inflator is OIL FREE. Therefore there is NO oil used for
lubrication.
ASSEMBLY
This Compressor MUST be fully assembled by you prior to
use.
Failure to do so will result in the warranty being VOID.
Failure to fully assemble this inflator may also result in
personal injury.
SAFETY
Before attempting to operate this Compressor the following
basic safety precautions should be taken to reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock and personal injury. It is important to
read the instruction manual and to understand applications,
limitations and potential hazards associated with the
Compressor. This Compressor is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
BEWARE OF CHILDREN
AND PETS
Children and pets should be kept out of the work area.
Children should not be allowed to touch or operate the
Compressor, tools or extension cords. This Compressor is not
designed for use by young children or infirm persons without
supervision. The Compressor and tools should be kept out of
reach of children, preferably stored or locked in a secure
cabinet or room when not in use.
WORK AREA
Work areas and benches should be kept tidy. Cluttered
benches and work areas can cause accidents. Floors should
be kept clean and free from rubbish. Special care should
be taken when the floor is slippery due to sawdust or wax.
Always leave sufficient distance, at least 5 metres between
the Compressor and the work area, especially when using tools
designed for sanding or spraying liquids.
WORK ENVIRONMENT
Do not expose your Compressor to rain or use in damp or wet
conditions. Keep the work area well lit.
GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces (e.g.
pipes and refrigerators).
DO NOT FORCE COMPRESSORS
The Compressor will do a better, safer job and give you much
better service if it’s used at the duty cycle for which it was
designed. The duty cycle will only take effect after the initial
(1st) tank fill for the day. This compressors duty cycle is 50%.
Duty cycle is the proportion of time during which the Compressor
is operating compared with not operating. For example a
50% duty cycle could mean after 30 seconds of operation,
motor pumping, the Compressor must be left for 30 seconds
resting, motor not pumping. When the motor is pumping
the attached air tool can not be used. Only use the attached
air tool while the Compressor is not pumping. Stop using the
attached tool as soon as the Compressor starts pumping.
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 Compressor
to do the job of a heavy–duty Compressor. Do not use the
Compressor for purposes not intended.

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 pull your compressor
by its power cord. Keep the power cord away from heat,
oil, solvents and sharp edges. Regularly check the plug
and cord and if damaged have it replaced by an authorised
service facility.
EXTENSION CORDS AND REELS
This compressor MUST be plugged directly into a 240V AC
wall socket.
This compressor is NOT designed to be run off an extension
cord/lead. If you need extra distance do NOT use an extension
cord, USE A LONGER AIR HOSE.
The use of extension cords may cause power voltage loss
and will result in damage to the motor. This will NOT be
covered under warranty.
SECURE THE WORK PIECE
Whenever possible secure the work piece using clamps or
a vice. It is safer than using your hands or feet and leaves
both hands free to control the tool.
HOT COMPONENTS
