Installation, precautions

DANGER Whipping air hose
A compressed air hose that comes loose can lash
around and cause personal injury or death. To
reduce this risk:
Check that the compressed air hose and the
►
connections are not damaged, replace if
necessary.
Check that all compressed air connections are
►
properly attached.
Never carry a pneumatic machine by the air hose.
►
Never attempt to disconnect a compressed air
►
hose that is pressurized. First switch off the
compressed air at the compressor and then bleed
the machine by activating the start and stop
device.
Do not use quick disconnect couplings at tool
►
inlet. Use hardened steel (or material with
comparable shock resistance) threaded hose
fittings.
Whenever universal twist couplings (claw
►
couplings) are used, we recommend that lock
pins are installed and whipcheck safety cables are
used to safeguard against possible hose to tool
and hose to hose connection failure.
Never point a compressed air hose at yourself or
►
anyone else. To avoid the risk of getting injured,
never use compressed air to blow for example
dust, dirt etc. from your clothes.
