16 Important!
– For your own safety you must only use the accessories
and additional units listed in the operating instructions
or recommended or specified by the manufacturer.
The use of mounted tools or accessories other than
those recommended in the operating instructions or
catalogue may place your personal safety at risk.
17 Noise
– Wear ear muffs when you use the compressor.
18 Replacing the power cable
– To prevent hazards, leave the replacement of dam-
aged power cables strictly to the manufacturer or a
qualified electrician. There is a risk of electric shock!
19 Inflating tires
– Directly after inflating tires, check the pressure with
a suitable pressure gauge, for example at your fill-
ing station.
20 Roadworthy compressors for building site operations
– Make sure that all lines and fittings are suitable for
the maximum permissible operating pressure of the
compressor.
21 Place of installation
– Set up the compressor on an even surface.
22 Supply hoses at pressures above 7 bar should be
equipped with a safety cable (e.g. a wire rope).
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety instructions for working with compressed air
and blasting guns
• The compressor pump and lines can become very hot dur-
ing 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 cou-
pling piece with your hand. This way, you can protect
yourself against injury from the rebounding 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 injury!
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 ex-
plosion!
• If hazardous liquids are processed, wear protective 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 Haz-
ardous Substances, which are displayed on the outer
packaging of the processed material, must be observed.
• Additional protective measures are to be undertaken 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.

GB
• Never set up or operate the equipment in the vicinity 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.
• The work area must exceed 30 m
tion must be ensured during spraying and drying. Do not
spray against the wind. Always adhere 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 pressure hose. These
media will destroy the pressure hose.
Operating pressure vessels
• You must keep your pressure vessel in good working or-
der, operate the vessel correctly, monitor the vessel, carry
out necessary maintenance and repair 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 workers 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 vessel. If you discover any
damage, then please contact the customer service work-
shop.
