taken when using this
compressor in order to guard
against the risk of electric
shock, injury and fire. Read and
note these instructions before

area.
2. Make allowance for
environmental conditions
- Never leave the compressor
in the rain. Never use the
compressor in damp or wet
conditions. Provide good
lighting. Never use the
compressor near combustible
liquids or gases.
3. Protect yourself from
electric shocks
- Avoid physical contact with
earthed parts, e.g. pipes,
radiators, cookers,
refrigerators.
4. Keep children away!
- Do not allow other persons
to touch the compressor or its
cable. Keep them out of your

safe place
- When the compressor is not
being used it should be kept
