Do not use the power cable for any pur-
pose it is not intended for.
A
Risk of personal injury by
escaping compressed air and parts
hurled about by escaping air!
Never direct compressed air against per-
sons or animals!
Ensure all air tools and accessories
used are designed for the working pres-
sure or are supplied via a pressure regu-
lator.
Please note that, when disconnecting
the quick coupler, the compressed air
contained in the pressure hose will
escape all of a sudden. You should
therefore firmly hold the air hose when
disconnecting it.
Ensure all screwed connections are fully
tightened at all times.
Do not attempt to repair the machine
yourself! Only trained specialists are
permitted to service or repair compres-
