CAUTION
IT IS IMPORTANT TO READ THIS MANUAL THOROUGHLY BEFORE USING THE AUTOMATIC
HOSE REEL. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE SAFETY STANDARDS AND OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
Store the safety instructions with care and hand them over to the users.

PURPOSE OF USE

– The automatic hose reel can be used for the following purposes:
• piping compressed air or cold water
• the automatic hose reel can also be used in open places, avoiding direct exposure of the hose reel to bad weather or sunlight
– The automatic hose reel must not be used for the following operations:
• no combustible "liquids and/or gases" may be used
• no corrosive substances may be used
• the automatic hose reel must not be used with fluids at temperatures higher than the temperatures stated in the TECHNICAL
DATA table
• the automatic hose reel must not be used in environments containing potentially explosive atmospheres
• the hose winding device must not be forced
• the hose must not be used for hooking or dragging material

WORK AREA SAFETY

– Beware of both surfaces that may become slippery and the danger of tripping over the air hose.
– While using the automatic hose reel for jobs performed high from the ground, take all necessary precautions, to eliminate or
minimize risk to other workers, following accidental falling of any tools (for example, isolation of the work area and proper signs).
Do not operate the automatic hose reel in environments containing potentially explosive atmospheres, because sparks may be
generated, which can ignite the dust or fumes.
Contact with live equipment should be avoided, because it may cause electric shocks.
Avoid contact between the hose and incandescent or hot parts.
Keep children and bystanders away from your workplace while operating the automatic hose reel. Distractions from other people
can cause you to lose control over the automatic hose reel while using it.
AUTOMATIC HOSE REEL SAFETY
– Do not point the fluid in the hose to yourself or other people. Compressed air or the fluid can cause injury.
– Check the connections and the air supply lines. All units, couplers and hoses should conform to the product specifications in terms
of pressure and air volume. Too high pressure impairs the function of the hose reel and may cause damage and/or injury.
– Do not bend or tighten any hoses; avoid using solvents and sharp edges. Keep the hoses away from heat, oil and rotating parts.
Immediately replace any damaged hose. A defective feed pipe may cause uncontrolled movements of the compressed air pipe.
Raised rust or chips may cause eye injury. Make sure that the hose clamps are always secured firmly.
PERSONNEL SAFETY
– Stay alert; watch what you are doing. Do not use the hose reel while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
– Always use the following personal protective equipment:
• eye protection
• hearing protection
• protective gloves against physical agents
– Make sure you are in a safe position, keeping a proper balance at all times. A safe working position and a proper body posture
enable better control of unexpected situations.
– Do not directly breathe in the air from the hose, as it may contain water, oil, metal particles and impurities, which may cause
dangers.
