SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Before using your compressor it is in your own interest to read and pay attention to the following safety rules
1. Compressed air is dangerous. NEVER direct a jet of air at people or animals, and NEVER discharge compressed air against the skin.
2. DO NOT operate your compressor with any guards removed.
3. Electrical or mechanical repairs should only be carried out by a qualified engineer. If problems occur, contact your Clarke dealer.
4. Before carrying out any maintenance, ensure the pressure is expelled from the air receiver, and the machine is disconnected from the electrical supply.
5. DO NOT leave pressure in the receiver overnight, or when transporting.
6. DO NOT adjust, or tamper with the safety valves. The maximum pressure is factory set, and clearly marked on the machine.
7. DO NOT operate in wet or damp conditions. Keep the machine dry at all times. Similarly, a clean atmosphere will ensure efficient operation. Do not use in dusty or otherwise dirty locations.
8. Some of the metal parts can become quite hot during operation. Take care not to touch these until the machine has cooled down.
9. Always set the pressure regulator to the recommended setting for the tool.
10. When spraying flammable materials e.g. cellulose paint, ensure that there is adequate ventilation and keep clear of any possible source of ignition.
11. Before spraying any material, always consult paint manufacturers instructions for safety and usage.
12. Protect yourself. Goggles will protect your eyes from flying particles. Face masks will protect you against paint spray and/or fumes.
13. Do not exert any strain on electrical cables and ensure that air hoses are not kinked or wrapped around machinery etc.
14. When disconnecting air hoses or other equipment from your compressor ensure that the air supply is turned off at the machine outlet and vent all pressurised air from within the machine and other equipment attached to it.
15. Make sure that children and animals are kept well away from the compressor and any equipment attached to it.
16. Always ensure that all individuals using the compressor have had the necessary training and have read and fully understand these operating instructions.
17. Ensure that any equipment or tool used in conjunction with your compressor, has a safe working pressure exceeding that of the compressor.
18. Exercise caution when transporting the compressor to avoid tipping it over.
19. Permanently installed systems should be installed by a competent engineer.
20. These compressors produce noise levels in excess of 70dB(A). Persons working in the vicinity of the compressor must be provided with suitable ear protection.

WARNING! Read these electrical safety instructions thoroughly before connecting the product to the mains supply.
Connect the mains lead to a standard, 230 Volt (50Hz) electrical supply through an approved 13 amp BS 1363 plug, or a suitably fused isolator switch.
If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or due to damage, it should be cut off and a replacement fitted, following the wiring instructions shown below. The old plug must be disposed of safely, as insertion into a mains socket could cause an electrical hazard.
WARNING! The wires in the power cable of this product are coloured in accordance with the following code: Blue = Neutral Brown = Live Yellow and Green = Earth
If the colours of the wires in the power cable of this product do not correspond with the markings on the terminals of your plug, proceed as follows.
• The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked N or coloured Black.
• The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked L or coloured Red.
• The wire which is coloured Yellow and Green must be
connected to the terminal which is marked E or or coloured Green.
We strongly recommend that this machine is connected to the mains supply via a Residual Current Device (RCD)
If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt any repairs yourself
