Proper Use; Safety Information - Scheppach HC51Si Original Bedienungsanleitung

4. Proper use

The compressor is designed to generate compressed
air for compressed-air driven tools which can be driv-
en with an air volume of up to approx. 170 l/min (e. g.
tire inflator, blow-out pistol and paint spray gun). Due to
the limited air output it is not possible to use the com-
pressor to drive tools with very high air consumption
(for example orbital sanders, die grinders and hammer
screwdrivers).
The compressor may only be operated in a dry and well
ventilated indoor space.
The machine may only be used in the intended manner.
Any use beyond this is improper. The user/operator, not
the manufacturer, is responsible for damages or inju-
ries of any type resulting from this.
Please observe that our equipment was not designed
with the intention of use for commercial or industrial
purposes. We assume no guarantee if the equipment
is used in commercial or industrial applications, or for
equivalent work.
