tangled or snarled hoses can cause a loss of balance
or footing in addition to unintentional tool operation.
Attach the hose to the structure to reduce the risk of
loss of balance if the hose shifts.
Do not abuse the air hose. Protect all hoses from
kinks, restrictions, solvents or sharp objects. Keep
air hose away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Replace damaged hoses immediately. Dam-
aged hoses can burst or whip around work area.
Only use hoses with a minimum rating of 200 PSI. Use
of hoses with a high pressure rating reduce the risk
of injury from a hose bursting.
Firmly grasp hose in hand when installing hoses. If
hose is not held firmly or correctly installed, hose may
whip and injure personnel in the operating area.
Use care when lifting and carrying the compressor.
Some compressors are too heavy to be lifted by one
person. Get assistance before attempting to lift a
compressor to reduce the risk of injury.
When moving or loading a wheeled compressor en-
sure that the compressor is always on a level surface.
If the compressor is placed on a sloped surface, it
may move unexpectedly and result in personal injury.

tool use And CAre
Use this compressor and all accessories in accor-
dance with the instructions. Compressor and acces-
sories must be used for the purpose for which they
are designed. Use of the compressor for operations
other than what is described in this manual can result
in a hazardous situation.
Use only accessories that are recommended by BO-
SCH for your particular model. Accessories that may
be recommended for a particular model tool may not
be suitable on other model tools and may result in
personal injury.
Before each use, inspect all fittings, hoses, pipes, con-
nections of the compressor. Do not operate if any por-
tion of the compressor is loose, missing, damaged,
malfunctioning, disconnected or altered. Never use a
compressor that appears damaged or is operating ab-
normally. If the compressor appears to be operating
unusually and/or making strange noises, stop using
it immediately and contact your local BOSCH service
center. There is a risk of bursting if the compressor is
damaged.
Before each use inspect compressor for signs of
leaks or damage. If leaks are found in the compres-
sor pump, air tanks or tubing, replace compressor im-
mediately. Never attempt repair leaks, weld or make
modifications to the air tank or other fluid confining
parts as there is a risk of bursting.
Do not attempt to operate this air compressor without
first verifying the oil level in the crankcase. This com-
pressor is shipped with oil in the crankcase. Serious
damage of the compressor can result from even mo-
mentary operation without proper lubrication.
Never operate the compressor without the safety
valve. Verify operation of the safety valve on a daily
basis. Do not use the safety valve for complete tank
drainage. The safety valve is designed to relieve tank
pressure to reduce the risk of bursting.
Never operate compressor without all guards and
other safety features in place and performing intended
function. If maintenance or servicing requires remov-
al of guard or safety feature, be sure to replace the
guard or safety feature before resuming operation of
the compressor. Replace damaged guards or safety
features immediately.
Never touch moving parts. Do not place any part of
your body near compressor moving parts. Do not
reach around guards to reduce the risk of injury.
Do not operate compressor without the air filter. Fil-
ters prevent large particles from entering the air
stream and damaging compressor internal compo-
nents.
Do not allow particulates such as sawdust to fall into
crankcase when crankcase is open for inspection.
Particulates in oil may reduce compressor life.
Do not use a detergent oil in crankcase. Detergent oils
will leave deposits on internal compressor compo-
nents reducing compressor life and components.
Do not use compressor for unattended operation. Al-
ways remain in area when compressor is operating
and turn off compressor when not in use to reduce
the risk of fire.
Never place objects on top or next to compressor. Lo-
cate compressor at least 12 in. (30 cm) away from all
obstructions. Restricting any of the compressor's
ventilation openings can cause overheating and
could cause a fire.
Do not operate the compressor with any power source
other than that specified in the tool operating/safety in-
structions. Use of alternative power sources may re-
sult in malfunctions of the compressor and the power
source which may lead to serious injury of you or oth-
ers in your surroundings.
