DO NOT ABUSE
THE POWER CORD
Never yank or pull on the power cord to disconnect it
from the mains supply socket. Never carry or pull your air
compressor by its power cord. Keep the power cord away
from heat, oil, solvents and sharp edges. If the power
cord becomes damaged have it replaced by an authorised
service facility.
EXTENSION CORDS AND REELS
This air compressor MUST be plugged directly into a 240V
AC wall socket.
This air compressor is NOT designed to be run off an
extension cord/lead. If you need extra distance do NOT
use an extension cord, USE A LONGER AIR HOSE.
The use of extension cords may cause power voltage loss
and will result in damage to the motor. This will NOT be
covered under warranty.
SECURE THE WORK PIECE
Whenever possible secure the work piece using clamps or
a vice. It is safer than using your hands or feet and leaves
both hands free to control the tool.
HOT COMPONENTS
Beware many of the components will get hot during use.
Never touch any of the metal pipes, pump or motor as
these may burn.
MAINTAIN YOUR AIR
COMPRESSOR WITH CARE
Follow the instructions for cleaning and changing
accessories. Check the air compressor power cord
periodically and if damaged have it replaced by an
authorised service facility. Keep handles clean, dry and
free from oil and grease. Ensure that ventilation slots
are kept clean and free from dust at all times. Blocked
ventilation slots can cause overheating and damage to
the motor.

mains supply when not in use, before servicing, cleaning,

AND WRENCHES
