ADDITIONAL SAFETY 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 blasting 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
compressor during operation.
• The compressor pump and lines can become very
hot during 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
coupling piece with your hand. This way, you can
protect yourself against injury from the rebounding
hose.
• 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.
• Do not blow at people with the blow-out pistol and do not
clean clothes while being worn. Danger of injury!
Safety instructions
attachments (e.g. paint sprayers):
• Keep the spray attachment away from the
compressor 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 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
Hazardous 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.

when using spraying
www.scheppach.com
• Do not smoke during the spraying process and/or in
the work area. Risk of explosion! Paint vapours are
easily combustible.
• 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 vapours are harmful to your health.
• The work area must exceed 30 m³ and sufficient
ventilation 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.
• The work area must be separated from the
compressor 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
safety measures as required according to the
circumstances.
• The regulatory authority can instruct necessary
monitoring measures in individual cases.
• A pressure vessel must not be operated if it exhibits
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
customer service workshop.
Residual risks
Remain attentive at all times when working, and keep
third parties at a safe distance from your work area.
Even when this power tool is operated properly, residual
risks still remain. Residual risks can be minimised if the
"safety instructions" and the "Proper use" are observed
along with the whole of the operating instructions.
