Safety instructions for working with
compressed air and blow-out guns
■
The compressor and hoses can get very hot
during operation. Touching them can cause
burns.
■
The gases or vapours sucked in by the
compressor intake must be kept free of admix-
tures that could lead to fires or explosions inside
the compressor.
■
When removing the hose coupling, always hold
the hose coupling firmly to avoid injury caused
by the hose flying off.
■
When working with the blow-out gun, wear
goggles. Foreign bodies and blown out parti-
cles can easily cause injuries.
■
Do not direct the blow-out gun at people or use
it to clean clothing you are wearing.
■
Check all connections and supply lines. All
maintenance units, couplings and hoses must
correspond to the appliance parameters in
terms of pressure and air flow. Excessively low
pressure will adversely affect the function of the
appliance; excessively high pressure can cause
property damage and personal injury. Protect
the hoses against kinking, constriction, solvents
and sharp edges.
■
Ensure that the hose clamps are always tight.
Loose or damaged hose clamps can allow air
to escape in an uncontrolled manner.
■
Replace a damaged hose immediately. A faulty
supply line can cause a compressed-air hose to
thrash about and cause personal injury.
■
Do not breathe in the exhaust air directly.
■
The hose must be designed for at least 150% of
the maximum pressure generated in the system.
■
The tool and the supply hose must be fitted with
a hose coupling that allows the pressure of the
coupling hose to be dispersed completely during
disconnection.
■
WARNING! An undersized compressed air
system will reduce the efficiency of your appli-
ance.

Avoid getting exhaust air in your eyes.
The exhaust air from the appliance may contain
water, oil, metal particles or impurities from the
compressor. This can cause damage to health.

Caution! This appliance is not designed for
continuous operation. To prevent the motor
from overheating, the appliance may only be
used as follows: within a period of 10 minutes
the appliance may only be operated at the
rated power input for 15% of the period, in
other words, 1.5 minutes. During the rest of
the time period (cooling phase 8.5 minutes),
the appliance cools down again.
