■
The appliance must always be kept clean, dry
and free from oil or grease.
■
Never use gasoline or other infl ammable liquids
to clean the unit! Vapours remaining in the ap-
pliance could be ignited by sparks and lead to
the explosion of the appliance!
■
Remain alert at all times! Never use the appli-
ance when you are distracted or don't feel well.
Safety instructions for working with
compressed air and blow-out guns
■
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Do not operate
the appliance with a damaged power cord
or mains plug.
■
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Never touch the
power cord during operation if it is damaged
or cut. Pull out the plug immediately and then
have the appliance repaired by a specialist or
the responsible service centre.
■
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Never operate
the appliance if it is damp or in a humid
environment.
■
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! When working
outdoors, connect the appliance via a fault
current circuit breaker with a maximum trip-
ping current of 30 mA. Use only an extension
cord approved for outdoor use.
■
Do not carry the appliance by the power cord
and never hang it up by the power cord. Always
route the power cord away from the appliance
to the rear. The appliance could be damaged.
■
The compressor and hoses can get very hot dur-
ing operation. Touching them can cause burns.
■
The gases or vapours sucked in by the compres-
sor intake must be kept free of admixtures that
could lead to fi res or explosions inside the
compressor.
■
When removing the hose coupling, always hold
the hose coupling fi rmly to avoid injury caused
by the hose fl ying off .
■
When working with the blow-out gun, wear
goggles. Foreign bodies and blown out parti-
cles can easily cause injuries.
■
Do not direct the blow-out gun at people or use
it to clean clothing you are wearing.
PKZ 180 B2
■
Check all connections and supply lines. All
maintenance units, couplings and hoses must
correspond to the appliance parameters in
terms of pressure and air fl ow. Excessively low
pressure will adversely aff ect the function of the
appliance; excessively high pressure can cause
property damage and personal injury. Protect
the hoses against kinking, constriction, solvents
and sharp edges.
■
Ensure that the hose clamps are always tight.
Loose or damaged hose clamps can allow air
to escape in an uncontrolled manner.
■
Replace a damaged hose immediately. A faulty
supply line can cause a compressed-air hose to
thrash about and cause personal injury.
■
Do not breathe in the exhaust air directly.
■
The hose must be designed for at least 150% of
the maximum pressure generated in the system.
■
The tool and the supply hose must be fi tted with
a hose coupling that allows the pressure of the
coupling hose to be dispersed completely during
disconnection.
■
WARNING! An undersized compressed air sys-
tem will reduce the effi ciency of your appliance.
■
Avoid getting exhaust air in your eyes.
The exhaust air from the appliance may contain
water, oil, metal particles or impurities from the
compressor. This can cause damage to health.
WARNING!
►
Take care when putting down the appliance!
Always put the appliance down so it does not
lie on the ON/OFF switch
circumstances, this could cause an accidental
activation of the appliance which, in turn,
could lead to hazards.
