ADDITIONAL SAFET Y INSTRUCTIONS
Observe the corresponding operating manuals of
the respective compressed air tools / compressed
air attachments! The following general instructions
must also be observed:
Safety instructions for working with compressed
air and air blow guns
• Ensure there is sufficient distance to the product,
at least 2.50 m, and keep the compressed air tools
/ compressed air attachments away from the com-
pressor during operation.
• Compressor pump and lines reach high tempera-
tures during operation. Touching them will cause
burns.
• 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 disconnecting the hose coupling, hold the
coupling piece of the hose firmly with your hand.
This will ensure that you avoid injuries caused by
the hose recoiling.
• Wear protective goggles and a breathing mask
when working with the blow-out gun. Dusts are
harmful to your health. Foreign objects or blown off
parts can easily cause injuries.
• Do not blow on people or clean clothing whilst on
the body with the air blow gun. Danger of injury!
• Wear safety goggles and a respirator when working
with the compressed air pistol. Dusts are harmful to
health! Foreign objects or blown off parts can easily
cause injuries.
Safety instructions when using spraying attach-
ments (e.g. paint sprayers):
• Keep the spray attachment away from the compres-
sor when filling so that no liquid comes into contact
with the compressor.
• Never spray in the direction of the compressor when
using the spraying attachments (e.g. paint sprayers).
Moisture can lead to electrical hazards!
• Do not process any paints or solvents with a flash
point below 55° C. Risk of explosion!
• Do not heat up paints or solvents. Risk of explosion!
• If harmful liquids are processed, filter devices (face
masks) are required for protection. Also observe the
information on protective measures provided by the
manufacturers of such substances.
• The information and labelling of the hazardous sub-
26 | GB
stances ordinance affixed to the outer packaging of
the processed materials must be observed. If neces-
sary, take additional protective measures, in particu-
lar wear suitable clothing and masks.
• Do not smoke during the spraying process or in the
working area. Risk of explosion! Paint vapours are
also highly flammable.
• Fireplaces, naked flames lights or sparking machin-
ery must not be present or operated.
• Do not store or consume food or drinks in the work
area. Paint fumes are harmful to health.
• The working area must be larger than 30 m³ and suf-
ficient air exchange must be ensured during spray-
ing and drying.
• Do not spray into the wind. Always observe the reg-
ulations of the local police authorities when spraying
flammable or hazardous spraying materials.
• Do not use media such as white spirit, butyl alcohol
and methylene chloride in conjunction with the PVC
pressure hose. These media destroy the pressure
hose.
• The work area must be separated from the compres-
sor so that it cannot come into direct contact with the
working medium.
Operation of pressure vessels
• Anyone who operates a pressure vessel must keep
this in good working order, operate and monitor it
correctly, perform the necessary maintenance and
servicing works immediately and implement safe-
ty measures as required according to the circum-
stances.
• The regulatory authority can instruct necessary
monitoring measures in individual cases.
• A pressure vessel must not be operated if it exhib-
its a defect that poses a danger to personnel or
third parties.
• Check the pressure vessel for rust and damage
each time before use. The compressor shall not be
operated if the pressure vessel is damaged or rusty.
If you discover damage, please contact the custom-
er service workshop.
Safety instructions for compressed air accesso-
ries
• After filling, check the air pressure with a cali-
brated pressure gauge.
• HEALTH, FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD! Use
equipment only in well-ventilated areas.
• RISK OF INJURY! Never exceed the maximum per-
missible working pressure of 8 bar. Use a pressure
