Keep the power cord and plug away from heat sources,
oil, sharp objects and rotary accessories. Check the
condition of the power cord regularly, if it is damaged,
it must be replaced or repaired by a qualified technician.

The use of extension cords to plug in the power cord is
not recommended. However, if you use an extension
cord, you should take some precautions, such as:
▪ If you operate the compressor outdoors, use only
extension cords suitable for outdoor use. The use of
a suitable extension cord reduces the risk of electric
shock;
▪ Use only extension cords, plugs and sockets with
grounding;
▪ The cross-section of the extension cord's cables shall
be proportional to the length and with the same
characteristics as or larger than the air compressor's
power cord;
▪ Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine the
extension cords before using them and replace if
necessary;
▪ When using an extension cord reel, unroll the cord
completely;
▪ Always unplug the extension cord before removing
the power cord;
Safety instructions when using compressed air and air
blow guns
Before opening any outlet valve, make sure that the
couplings, hoses or accessories are correctly assembled
to avoid the risk of disconnection and projection while
compressor is running.
Keep the air hose connected to the compressor and to
the gun while the system is under pressure. Make sure
the compressor is switched off and all pressure is
released before disconnecting the hoses.
If a under pressure hose breaks loose, move away from
possible hose whippings. If possible, stop the
compressor immediately.
If you remove the hose from the outlet valve, with the
compressor under pressure, hold the quick-release
coupling so as to avoid injury.

Never point the air blow gun at people, animals,
equipment or electrical installations. Never use the air
blow gun to clean your clothes.
Never place your hand or any other part of your body in
front of the air blow gun. The air jet can cause serious
injuries.
Whenever there is an air leak, it is a sign of anomaly or
malfunction. Stop the compressor, check and repair air
leakage immediately.
While operating, check regularly that the compressor
motor shuts down when the maximum preset pressure
is reached.
Accidents while operating a compressor are common,
and in most cases could be avoided with regular
appliance maintenance and safety measures. Accidents
with air compressors can cause serious injury and death
to the user and to people nearby the work area.

Safety instructions for painting with compressed air

Always wear face masks when painting with spray guns,
especially if you are using materials that are harmful to
health. Respect manufacturer's instructions concerning
the chemical substances.
Do not use paint or solvents with a flash point under
55°C.
Do not smoke nearby the working area while painting.
The spray steam is highly flammable.
Do not store food or eat in the working area. The spray
steam is harmful to health.
The working area should be larger than 30 m3 and must
be well ventilated during painting and drying.
Do not paint in the opposite direction of the wind.

Safety in under pressure air tanks

Check the under-pressure air tank before starting the
compressor. Check for rust and damage. The
compressor cannot be started if the air tank is rusted or
damaged. If you detect damage, please contact the
technical assistance.
