2.3 Safety instructions for the supplied pneumatic hose
Compressed air can cause serious injury.
— When the machine is not in use, before replacing accessories or when carrying out repair work, always shut off the air supply, depressurise the air hose
and disconnect the machine from the compressed air supply.
— Never direct the airflow towards yourself or other people.
Hoses whipping around can cause serious injury. Therefore, always check that the hoses and their fasteners are undamaged and have not come loose.
Cold air should be carried away from the hands.
Never exceed the maximum working pressure of the pneumatic hose or that of the pneumatic tool used.
Connect the pneumatic hose to compressed air lines only if it is certain that the maximum permissible working pressure is prevented from being exceeded
(e.g. by a pressure reducer/pressure regulator).
Use the pneumatic hose with compressed air only. It is not permitted to use the pneumatic hose with liquids.
Slips, trips and falls are major causes of workplace injuries. Be aware of surfaces that may have become slippery due to the use of the compressor and of
tripping hazards caused by the pneumatic hose.
When loosening the hose coupling, hold the coupling piece of the hose with your hand. This way you avoid injuries caused by the hose recoiling.
Do not use media such as white spirit, butyl alcohol and methylene chloride in conjunction with the pneumatic hose. These media destroy the pneumatic hose.
Never crush or kink the spiral hose . This may damage the spiral hose . Do not use damaged pneumatic hoses. Damaged pneumatic hoses may cause injuries.
2.4 General safety rules for the tyre inflation gauge
The safety information must be read and understood before setting up, operating, repairing or servicing the tyre inflation gauge and before working near
it. If this is not the case, it can lead to serious physical injuries.
The tyre inflation gauge must only be set up, adjusted or used by suitably qualified and trained operators.
This tyre inflation gauge must not be modified. Changes may reduce the effectiveness of the safety measures and increase the risks for the operator.
The safety instructions must not be lost. Give it to the operator.

legible ratings and markings required in this manual. The user must contact the manufacturer to obtain replacement plates if necessary.
The operator and maintenance personnel must be physically able to handle the size, mass and power of the machine.
Make sure your body is balanced and that you have secure footing.
In the event of an interruption in the power supply, release the trigger.
Do not blow on people or clean clothes on the body with the tyre inflation gauge. Risk of injury!
2.5 Operation of a pressure vessel (according to Pressure Equipment Directive)
