4. Proper use

The compressor is used to generate compressed air for pneumatically powered tools that can be operated with an air rate of up to 100 l/min. (e.g. tyre inflators, air blow guns, paint spray guns). Due to the limited air output it is not possible to use the compressor 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 injuries of any type resulting from this.

Please note that our products were not designed with the intention of use for commercial or industrial purposes. We assume no guarantee if the product is used in commercial or industrial applications, or for equivalent work.

5. General safety instructions

⚠ WARNING - Read all safety information, instructions, illustrations and technical data for this power tool.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” used in the safety instructions refers to mains-powered power tools (with a mains cable) and battery-powered power tools (without a mains cable).

Work area safety

a. Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. 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.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control of the power tool.

Electrical safety

a. 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.
b. 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.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not use the cable for another purpose, for example, carrying or hanging the power tool or pulling the plug out of the socket. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving device parts. Damaged or coiled cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
e. If you work with a power tool outdoors, only use extension cables that are also suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. Only use approved and appropriately identified extension cables for use outdoors. Only use cable reels in the unrolled state.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current circuit breaker with a trigger current of 30 mA or less

to protect the power supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

a. 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 carelessness when using power tools can result in serious injuries.

b. Wear personal protective equipment and always safety goggles. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, safety helmet or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c. Prevent unintentional starting.

Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or rechargeable battery, picking up or carrying the power tool. Carrying electric tools with your finger on the switch or connecting power tools to the power supply when they are already switched on invites accidents.

d. Remove any adjusting tools or spanners/keys before turning the power tool on. A tool or spanner that is located in a rotating device part may result in injuries.

e. Avoid abnormal postures. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f. Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and anti-slip footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Tie long hair back in a hair net.

g. If dust extraction and collection devices can be mounted, make sure that they are connected and used properly. Use of dust extraction can reduce dust-related hazards.

h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of power tools allow you to become complacent and ignore power tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

Power tool use and care

a. Do not overload the device. 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.

b. 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.

c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing tool attachments, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d. 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. Unused power tools should be stored in a dry, elevated or closed location out of the reach of children.

e. Maintain power tools and tool attachments. Check whether moving parts function properly and do not get stuck and whether parts are broken or are damaged and thus adversely affect the electric tool function. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

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

g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool attachments etc. in accordance with these instructions. Take into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Service

a. Only have your power tool repaired by qualified specialists and only with original spare parts. This ensures that safety of the electric tool is maintained.
