DO NOT USE IN THE RAIN
Using the compressor in these
or similar conditions will in-
crease the risk of electric
shock, dangerous malfunction,
and overheating.
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES
Danger to the eyes always exists due to the pos-
sibility of dust being blown up by the exhausted
air or of a fastener flying up due to the improper
handling of the tool. For these reasons, safety
glasses or goggles shall always be worn when
operating the tool.
The employer and/or user must ensure that proper
eye protection is worn. Eye protection equipment
must conform to the requirements of the American
National Standards Institute, ANSI Z87.1 (Council
Directive 89/686/EEC of 21 DEC. 1989) and pro-
vide both frontal and side protection.
The employer is responsible to enforce the use
of eye protection equipment by the tool operator
and all other personnel in the work area.
NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and face
shields alone do not provide adequate protection.
EAR PROTECTION MAY BE
REQUIRED IN SOME ENVI-
RONMENTS
As the working condition may in-
clude exposure to high noise
levels which can lead to hearing
damage, the employer and user should ensure
that any necessary hearing protection is provid-
ed and used by the operator and others in the
work area.
WHEN DISPOSING THE MACHINE OR ITS
PARTS, FOLLOW THE RELEVANT NATIONAL
RULES.
Only for EU countries
Do not dispose of electric equipment
together with household waste materi-
al!
In observance of European Directive 2012/19/EU
on waste electrical and electronic equipment and
its implementation in accordance with national
law, electric equipment that have reached the end
of their life must be collected separately and re-
turned to an environmentally compatible recycling
facility.
The compressors are manufactured to meet
RoHS directives.
