extension cord.
4. Store tools safely. When not in use, tools should be
locked up out of reach.
5. Do not force the tool. The tool will do the job better and
safer working at the rate for which it was designed.
6. Use the correct tool for the job. Do not force small tools
or attachments to do the job best handled by a heavier
duty tool. Never use a tool for a purpose for which it was
not intended.
7. Dress correctly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber
gloves and non-slip footwear are recommended when
working outdoors. If you have long hair, wear a protective

8. Use safety accessories. Safety glasses and earmuffs
should always be worn. A face or dust mask is also
required if the sanding operation creates dust.
9. Do not abuse the power cord. Never pull the cord to
disconnect the tool from the power point. Keep the cord
away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
10. Secure the work piece. Use clamps or a vice to hold the
work piece. It is safer than using your hand and frees
both hands to operate the tool.
11. Do not overreach. Keep your footing secure and
balanced at all times.
12. Look after your tools. Keep tools sharp and clean for
better and safer performance. Follow the instructions
regarding lubrication and accessory changes. Inspect
tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have them
repaired by an authorised service facility. Inspect
extension cords periodically and replace them if
damaged. Keep tool handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease.
13. Disconnect idle tools. Switch off the power and
disconnect the plug from the power point before
servicing, when changing accessories and when the tool
is not in use.
14. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check to see
that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the
tool before switching on.
15. Avoid unintentional starting. Always check that the
switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the tool
to the power supply. Do not carry a plugged in tool with
your finger on the switch.
16. Use outdoor rated extension cords. When a tool is used
outdoors, use only extension cords that are intended for
outdoor use and are so marked.
17. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate a power tool when you are tired.

18. Check for damaged parts. Before using a tool, check
that there are no damaged parts. If a part is slightly
damaged, carefully determine if it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
proper mounting and any other conditions that may
affect the operation of the tool. A part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorised
service facility, unless otherwise indicated in this
Instruction Manual. Defective switches must be replaced
by an authorised service facility. Do not use a tool if the
switch does not turn the tool on and off correctly.
19. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact
with grounded objects such as water pipes, radiators,
cookers and refrigerator enclosures.
20. Use only approved parts. When servicing, use only
identical replacement parts. Use an authorised service
facility to fit replacement parts.
Additional safety rules for air compressors
WARNING. Before connecting a tool to a power source
(mains switch power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure
that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater
than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to
the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not
plug in the tool. Using a power source with a voltage less
than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
Always remove the plug from the mains socket before
making any adjustments or maintenance, including
renewing the lubricating oil.
• To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, never spray
flammable liquids in a confined area. It is normal for
the compressor motor and pressure switch to produce
sparks during use. If sparks come into contact with petrol
vapours or solvents, they may ignite the vapours and
cause a fire or explosion.
• Always operate the compressor in a well ventilated area.
Do not smoke while spraying. Do not spray where sparks
or flames are present. Keep the compressor as far away
from the spray area as possible.
• The solvents trichloroethane and methylene chloride can
chemically react with the aluminium used in some paint
spray guns and form an explosion. If these solvents are
used, ensure that only stainless steel spray equipment is
connected. The compressor is not affected by the use of
these solvents.
• Never directly inhale the compressed air produced by a
compressor and do not use it for charging breathing tanks.
• Do not use welding equipment in close proximity to the
compressor. Do not weld anything to the air tanks of the
compressor: this could dangerously weaken the tanks
and will void the warranty.
• Do not use the compressor outdoors when it is raining
or on a wet surface; either situation could cause an
electric shock.
• Always shut off the compressor after use and before
servicing. Set the on/off switch to the off position, wait
for the pressurised air to bleed from both tanks via the
release valves located on each tank. Then remove the
electrical plug from the power supply.
• Check the maximum pressure rating of any tools or
accessories that you intend using with the compressor.
The output pressure of the air from the compressor must
be regulated so that it never exceeds the rated pressure
of the tool or accessory.
• To avoid the risk of burns and injury from moving
parts, do not operate the compressor with the safety
cover removed. Allow hot parts to cool before handling
or servicing.
• Be certain to read all the labels on the containers of paint
or other materials to be sprayed. Closely follow all safety
instructions. Use a respirator mask if there is a chance
that you might otherwise inhale the spray material.
Carefully check the effectiveness of any respirator mask
you intend using.
• Always wear safety goggles or glasses when using the
air compressor. Never point the nozzle of an accessory
towards any part of your body or towards another person.
• Do not attempt to adjust the pressure switch or the
release valve.
7
• Drain the moisture from the tanks daily. It will help
prevent corrosion.
• Pull the ring on the safety valves daily to ensure that it
operating properly and to clear any possible instructions.
Note. This unit has two safety release valves (one on each
tank). Ensure both are checked daily.
• Keep the compressor at least 300mm from the nearest
wall to ensure adequate ventilation for cooling purposes.
• Prior to transporting the compressor make sure that the
pressurised air is bled from both tanks. Ensure that the
removable tank is correctly connected. Also check that
the compressor is firmly secured.
Note. Never transport pressurised tanks. Even when
transporting the removable air supply it must be empty
of all air.
• Protect the air hoses and cordset from damage. Inspect
for weak or worn spots regularly and replace if necessary.
• Prior to using the removable tank as a temporary air
supply make sure that you place it down on a level
surface and have a firm grip on the air hose prior to use.
• Do not use an extension cord with this product. Use
additional air hose instead of an extension cord to
prevent power loss and possible damage to the motor.
Use of an extension cord voids the warranty.
• After long working periods external metal parts could
be hot.
• Always shut off the compressor at the on/off switch by
lifting the lever to the off position before switching off the
power or removing the power plug.
• Check the oil level before starting the compressor
every time.
• Make sure the compressor is on a level surface prior to
checking the oil level.
• The oil level is required to be at the red dot on the oil
level sight glass prior to use.
• Use only oil grade specified in this instruction manual.
Note. The compressor is supplied empty of oil. It must be
filled with oil before first use.
• After using the compressor, switch off the on/off switch,
disconnect the power supply and open the outlet valves
on both tanks to release the pressure.
• Ensure that the lubricating oil is clean and that the oil
level is maintained at the correct level. Replace the oil
as indicated in the Maintenance section of this Manual.
• Use safety equipment including safety goggles or
shield, ear protection, breathing or respirator mask
and protective clothing.
Wear goggles
Wear earmuffs
Wear a breathing mask
Never apply air from any of the air outlets from this
compressor directly on to any part of a person’s body.
Do not attempt to block any of the air outlets with your
finger or any part of your body.
The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose.
