Before use, read the handbook carefully.

Warning, hot surfaces!

Danger - automatic control (closed loop).

Class II - The machine is double insulated; Earthing wire is therefore not necessary.

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow all warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

4.2 Electrical safety

Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.POWX1706 EN Copyright © 2022 VARO P a g e | 5 www.varo.com

• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used whenever conditions require will reduce personal injuries.

• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.

4.4 Power tool use and care

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or sticking of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to stick and are easier to control.

• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could lead to a hazardous situation.

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.POWX1706 EN Copyright © 2022 VARO P a g e | 6 www.varo.com

5 SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS

This symbol indicates warnings to be read before using the product so as to prevent injury to the user. Compressed air is a potentially dangerous form of energy; always take great care when using the compressor and its accessories.

Warning: the compressor may restart when power is restored following a

• The compressor and hoses can get very hot during operation. Touching them can cause burns.

• The gases or vapours sucked in by the compressor intake must be kept free of admixtures that could lead to fires or explosions inside the compressor.

• When removing the hose coupling, always hold the hose coupling firmly to avoid injury caused by the hose flying off.

• When working with the blow-out gun, wear goggles. Foreign bodies and blown out particles can easily cause injuries.

• Do not direct the blow-out gun at people or use it to clean clothing you are wearing.

• Check all connections and supply lines. All maintenance units, couplings and hoses must correspond to the appliance parameters in terms of pressure and air flow. Excessively low pressure will adversely affect the function of the appliance; excessively high pressure can cause property damage and personal injury. Protect the hoses against kinking, constriction, solvents and sharp edges.

• Ensure that the hose clamps are always tight. Loose or damaged hose clamps can allow air to escape in an uncontrolled manner.

• Replace a damaged hose immediately. A faulty supply line can cause a compressed-air hose to thrash about and cause personal injury.

• Do not breath in the exhaust air directly.

• The hose must be designed for at least 150% of the maximum pressure generated in the system.

• The tool and the supply hose must be fitted with a hose coupling that allows the pressure of the coupling hose to be dispersed completely during disconnection.

• Warning! An undersized compressed air system will reduce the efficiency of your appliance.

• Avoid getting exhaust air in your eyes. The exhaust air from the appliance may contain water, oil, metal particles or impurities from the compressor. This can cause damage to health. Take care when putting down the appliance! Always put the appliance down so it does not lie on the ON/OFF switch. Under certain circumstances, this could cause an accidental activation of the appliance which, in turn, could lead to hazards.

• The compressor must be used in a suitable environment (well ventilated with an ambient temperature of between +5 °C and +40 °C) and never in places with dust, acids, vapours, explosive or flammable gases.

• Keep the work area free. When operating, the compressor must be placed on a stable surface.POWX1706 EN Copyright © 2022 VARO P a g e | 7 www.varo.com

• Safety goggles should be worn when using the compressor in order to protect the eyes against any foreign bodies lifted by the jet of air.

• If possible, when using air-powered accessories, wear safety clothing.

• Always maintain a safety distance of at least 2 meters between the compressor and the work area.

• Check for correspondence between the compressor plate data with the actual specifications of the electrical system. A variation of ± 10% with respect of the rated value is allowed.

• Insert the plug of the electrical cable in a socket of suitable shape, voltage and frequency complying with current regulations.

• Use extension cables with a maximum length of 5 meters and with a cable cross-section of not less than 1.5 mm². Use of extension cables of different length and cross-section and also of adapters and multiple sockets should be avoided.

• Always use the handle to move the compressor.

• When using compressed air, you must know and comply with the safety precautions to be adopted for each type of application (inflation, air powered tools, painting, washing with water-based detergents only, clinching, etc.).

• To avoid overheating of the electric motor, this compressor is designed for intermittent duty operation as indicated on the technical data plate (for example, S3-15 means 1.5 minutes On, 8.5 minutes OFF). In case of overheating, the thermal cut-out of the motor is released, automatically cutting off the power when the temperature is too high due to excess current take-off. The motor restarts automatically when normal temperature conditions are restored.

• Never direct the jet of air towards persons, animals or your body.

• Never let the compressor come into contact with water or other liquids and never direct the jet of liquids sprayed by tools connected to the compressor towards the compressor: as the appliance is live, this could cause electrocution or short-circuits.

• Never use the appliance with bare feet or wet hands or feet.

• Never yank the power cable to disconnect the plug from the power outlet or to move the compressor.

• Never leave the appliance exposed to adverse weather conditions (rain, sun, fog, snow).

• If this compressor is used outdoors, always remember to stow it after use in a covered or closed place

• Never use the compressor outdoors in rain or bad weather.

• Never allow inexpert persons to use the compressor without suitable surveillance. Keep animals at a distance from the work area.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• The compressed air produced by the compressor cannot not be used for pharmaceutical, food or medical purposes or to fill the air bottles of scuba divers.

• Do not place flammable or nylon/fabric objects close to and/or on the compressor.

• Do not cover the air inlets on the compressor.
