Additional safety instructions
Safety instructions for working with compressed air
and blasting guns
• The compressor pump and lines can become
very hot during operation. Touching these parts
will burn you.
• The air which is sucked in by the compressor must
be kept free of impurities that could cause fires or
explosions in the compressor pump.
• When releasing the hose coupling, hold the hose
coupling piece with your hand. This way, you can
protect yourself against injury from the rebound-
ing hose.
• Wear safety goggles when working with the blow-
out pistol. Foreign bodies or blown off parts can
easily cause injuries.
• Do not blow at people with the blow-out pistol and
do not clean clothes while being worn. Risk of in-
jury!
Warning! This electric tool generates an electro-
magnetic field during operation. This field can im-
pair active or passive medical implants under certain
conditions. In order to prevent the risk of serious
or deadly injuries, we recommend that persons with
medical implants consult with their physician and the
manufacturer of the medical implant prior to operat-
ing the electric tool.
Safety information for paint spraying
• Do not process any paints or solvents with a flash
point below 55° C. There is a risk of explosion!
• Do not heat up paints or solvents. There is a risk
of explosion!
• If hazardous liquids are processed, wear protec-
tive filter units (face guards). Also, adhere to the
safety information provided by the manufacturers
of such liquids.
• The details and designations of the Ordinance on
Hazardous Substances, which are displayed on
the outer packaging of the processed material,
must be observed.
• Additional protective measures are to be undertak-
en if necessary, particularly the wearing of suitable
clothing and masks.
• Do not smoke during the spraying process and/or
in the work area. There is a risk of explosion! Paint
vapors are easily combustible.
• Never set up or operate the equipment in the vicini-
ty of a fire place, open lights or sparking machines.
• Do not store or eat food and drink in the work area.
Paint vapors are harmful to your health.
74
GB
• The work area must exceed 30 m
ventilation must be ensured during spraying and
drying. Do not spray against the wind. Always ad-
here to the regulations of the local police authority
when spraying combustible or hazardous materials.
• Do not process media such as white spirit, butyl
alcohol and methylene chloride with the PVC pres-
sure hose. These media will destroy the pressure
hose.
Operating pressure vessels
• You must keep your pressure vessel in good work-
ing order, operate the vessel correctly, monitor the
vessel, carry out necessary maintenance and re-
pair work immediately and meet the relevant safety
precautions.
• The supervisory authority may enforce essential
control measures in individual cases.
• A pressure vessel is not allowed to be used if it
has faults or deficiencies that can endanger work-
ers or third parties.
• Check the pressure vessel for signs of rust and
damage each time before using. Do not use the
compressor with a damaged or rusty pressure ves-
sel. If you discover any damage, then please con-
tact the customer service workshop.
Do not lose these safety instructions.
Residual risks
Comply with the stipulated maintenance and safety in-
structions in the operating instructions.
Remain attentive at all times when working and keep
third parties at a safe distance from your work area.
Even when the device is being used properly, there will
always be certain residual hazards that cannot be com-
pletely ruled out. The following potential hazards can
arise due to the type and design of the device:
• Unintentional starting up of the product.
• Damage to hearing if the stipulated hearing protec-
tion is not worn.
• Dirt particles, dust etc. can get into the eyes or face
despite wearing safety goggles.
• Inhaling swirled up particles.
