1. Declaration of Conformity
We declare and accept sole responsibility for
ensuring: these compressors identified by their
type and serial number *1) conform to all relevant
provisions of the directives *2) and standards *3).
issuing testing authority *4), measured LWA(M) /
guaranteed LWA(G) sound power level *5),
technical documentation for *6) - see page 4.
2. Specified Conditions of Use
This tool is used for the generation of
compressed air for professional tools powered by
compressed air.
The use in the medical and food sector as well as
refilling of oxygen tanks is not permitted.
Explosive, flammable or harmful gases must not
be aspirated. Operation in potentially explosive
rooms is not permitted.
Any other use does not comply with the intended
purpose. Unspecified use, modification of the
device or use of parts that have not been tested
and approved by the manufacturer can cause
unforeseeable damage!
Children, adolescents and untrained persons
must not use the machine and the connected
compressed air tools.
Operate the device only unter supervision.
3. General Safety Instructions
WARNING – Reading the operating
instructions will reduce the risk of injury.
General Safety Instructions
WARNING – Read all safety warnings and
instructions. Failure to follow all safety
warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference! Pass on your power tool only together
with these documents. You and all other users
must be able to inform yourselves at any time.
3.1 Work Area Safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate the device in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and other persons away
while operating the device.
3.2 Electrical Safety
a) Tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) 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
8
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 abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, hanging or unplugging the tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) 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.
3.3 Personal Safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a tool. Do
not use a 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.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection, depending on the type and
application of the tool, will reduce personal
injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) 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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the tool in unexpected situations.
f) Wear appropriate clothing. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and
clothing away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent
use of tools allow you to become complacent
and ignore tool safety principles. A careless
action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.
3.4 Tool Use and Care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
tool for your application. The correct tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b) Do not use the tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Electrical devices that can no
longer be switched on or off are dangerous and
must be repaired immediately.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the tool before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle tools out of the reach of children.
Do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
device or these instructions to operate the
device. Devices are dangerous when used by
inexperienced personnel.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories with
care. Check that the moving parts are
functioning properly and do not jam, that
there is no breakage of parts or any other
condition that may affect the device's
operation. If damaged, have the device
repaired before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
g) Use the power tool, accessories, tool bits
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 safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
3.5 Use and handling of the cordless
device
a) Only charge batteries with charging devices
recommended by the manufacturer. A charger
that is suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of fire when used with another battery
pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small
metal objects, that can make a connection
from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a
fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery. Avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water.
If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose the battery pack to fire or
excessive temperatures. Fire or temperatures
above 130 °C can cause an explosion.
g) Follow all instructions on charging and
never charge the battery or the cordless tool
outside the temperature range indicated in the
operating instructions. Charging improperly or
at temperatures outside the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
3.6 Service
a) Have your device serviced by a qualified
repair person using only genuine
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
device functions safely.
b) Never service damaged batteries. Any
servicing of batteries should only be carried out
by the manufacturer or authorised customer
service points.
