Things You Should Know - Stanley DN 55/8/5 Manual De Instrucciones

1. PRECAUTIONS
All users must read and fully understand all
information contained in this owner's manual
before assembling, operating, or maintaining
this air compressor.
Carefully review the following rules for safe
operation and fully understand all warnings.
THINGS TO DO
● 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 affected by dust,
acids, vapours, explosive or flammable gases.
● Always maintain a safety distance of at least 4 meters
between the compressor and the work area.
● Any coloring of the belt guards of the compressor during
painting operations indicates that the distance is too short.
● Insert the plug of the electric 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 of suitable cross-section.
● The use of extension cables of different length and also of
adapters and multiple sockets should be avoided.
● Always use the I/O switch to switch off the compressor.
● Always use the handle to move the compressor.
● Always disconnect power cord and air hose from the air
compressor before transporting.
● When operating, the compressor must be placed on a
stable, horizontal surface.
NOT
THINGS
● Never direct the jet of air towards persons, animals or your
body. (Always wear safety goggles to protect your eyes
against flying objects that may be lifted by the jet of air).
● Never direct the jet of liquids sprayed by tools connected to
the compressor towards the compressor.
● Never use the appliance with bare feet or wet hands or
feet.
● Never pull the power cable to disconnect the plug from the
socket or to move the compressor.
● Never leave the appliance exposed to adverse weather
conditions.
● Never transport the compressor with the receiver under
pressure.
● Do not weld or machine the receiver. In the case of faults or
rusting, replace the entire receiver.
● Never allow inexpert persons to use the compressor. Keep
children and 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
Preserve this handbook for future reference.
TO DO
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.
● Do not position flammable or nylon/fabric objects closed to
and/or on the compressor.
● Never clean the compressor with flammable liquids or
solvents. Check that you have unplugged the compressor
and clean with a damp cloth only.
● The compressor must be used only for air compression. Do
not use the compressor for any other type of gas.
● The compressed air produced by the compressor cannot
not be used for pharmaceutical, food or medical purposes
except after particular treatments and cannot be used to fill
the air bottles of scuba divers.
● To avoid serious burns, never touch the cylinder head parts
or tubing during or immediately after operation.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

● To avoid overheating of the electric motor, this
compressor is designed for intermittent operation
(do not operate on more than a 25% duty cycle. If this air
compressor pumps air more than 25% of one hour, then
the compressor's capability is less than the air delivery
required by the application. Always match the air volume
requirements of the attachment or accessory with the
air volume delivery of the compressor). In the case
of overheating, the thermal cut-out of the motor trips,
automatically cutting off the power when the temperature
is too high. The motor restarts automatically when normal
temperature conditions are restored.
● When the compressor is plugged into an electrical
source and the pressure switch is in the "ON" position,
this compressor will cycle automatically.
– Never touch any moving parts.
– Keep all body parts, hair, clothing, and jewelry away from
moving parts.
– Never operate the air compressor without all guards and
shrouds in place.
– Never stand on the compressor.
● The compressor is fitted with a safety valve that is tripped in
the case of malfunctioning of the pressure switch in order to
assure machine safety.
● When fitting a tool, the flow of air in output must be switched
off. ● When using compressed air, you must know and comply
with the safety precautions to be adopted for each type of
application (inflation, pneumatic tools, painting, washing
with water-based detergents only, etc.).
● Never exceed the
recommended by the manufacturer of any attachment or
accessory you use with this compressor.
