Air Supply And Connections - Ferm FAN-100K Gebrauchsanweisung

• Check that the tank is fully decompressed
before connections with the tank are
unscrewed.
• It is prohibited to make holes in, or welds to, or
purposely to distort the compressed air tank.
• Do not perform any actions on the compressor
without first having taken the plug out of the
plug socket.
• Do not aim water jets or jets of flammable
liquids at the compressor.
• Do not place flammable objects near the
compressor.
• Switch the pressure regulator to the "0"
position (OFF) during dwell time.
• Never aim the air jet at persons or animals.
• Do not transport the compressor with the tank
pressurised.
• N.B.: some parts of the compressor such as
the head and the feed-through pipes may
reach high temperatures. Do not touch these
parts to avoid burns. Transport the
compressor by lifting it or by using the special
grips or handles.
• Children and animals should be kept far away
from the area of operation of the machine.
• If you use the compressor to spray paint:
a) Do not work in enclosed spaces or near
naked flames.
b) Make sure that the environment in which
you will be working has dedicated
ventilation.
c) Protect your nose and mouth with a
dedicated mask.
• Do not use the compressor when the electrical
cable or the plug is damaged, and instruct an
authorised Support Service to replace them
with an original part.
• When the compressor is placed on a surface
higher than the floor, it should be secured to
prevent it from falling down during operation.
• Do not put objects or your hands in the
protective covers to avoid physical damage
and damage to the compressor.
• Do not use the compressor as a blunt
instrument against persons, objects or
animals in order to prevent serious damage.
• If the compressor is no longer in use, always
take the plug out of the plug socket.
• Always make sure that compressed-air hoses
are used for compressed air and which are
characterised by a maximum pressure
adjusted to that of the compressor. Do not try
to repair the hose if it is damaged.

3. AIR SUPPLY AND
CONNECTIONS
Never use any oxygen, inflammable
gases or compressed air from gas
bottles to supply pressure to this
appliance, due to the hazard of explo­
sion and the potential for serious injury.
Quick-detachable couplings
Connect an air hose to the appliance using a QD
(quick-detachable) coupling. The QD coupling
also disengages the air pressure from the tool
when it is disconnected.
Air hoses
Air hoses should be able to sustain a working
pressure of at least 10 Bar. The air supply hose
should be equipped with a QD coupling to enable
"quick uncoupling" from the air nailer.
Compressed air
Only use clean, regulated compressed air for this
tool.
Pressure regulator
For safe operation of the air nailer, a pressure
regulator with an operating range of 4-7 Bar is
required for regulation of the working pressure. Do
not connect the air nailer to an air pressure that
might possibly exceed 10 Bar, as this may cause
damage to the air nailer, and could also
result in injuries.
Operating pressure
Never exceed the recommended maximum
pressure, as this will cause a substantial increase
in the rate of wear. The air supply must be
sufficient to maintain the appliance's working
pressure. Should the pressure diminish, the
driving power of the air nailer will be reduced. See
"TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS" for the correct
working pressure of the air nailer.
Oil and water separator
Dirt and water in the air supply are the main cause
of wear on pneumatic tools. An oil and water
separator will help to ensure clean air pressure
for the best performance and least wear on the
air nailer. The oil and water separator must be
regularly tapped off, in order to function effectively
in supplying clean air pressure to the tool.
