5. HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION9. OPERATION
9.4 THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
CAUTION: THIS COMPRESSOR IS EQUIPPED WITH AN AUTOMATIC RESET
THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTOR, WHICH WILL SHUT OFF THE MOTOR IF IT
BECOMES OVERHEATED.
If thermal overload protector shuts motor OFF frequently, look for the following causes.
– Low voltage.
– Clogged air filter.
– Lack of proper ventilation.
CAUTION: IF THE THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTOR IS ACTUATED, THE MOTOR
MUST BE ALLOWED TO COOL DOWN BEFORE START-UP IS POSSIBLE. THE MOTOR
WILL AUTOMATICALLY RESTART WITHOUT WARNING IF LEFT PLUGGED INTO
ELECTRICAL OUTLET AND UNIT IS TURNED ON.
9.5 STORAGE
– When not in use, store hose and compressor in a cool dry place.
– Drain tank of moisture.
– Disconnect hose and hang open ends down to allow any moisture to drain.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking 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.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Important
On products exceeding 2000W it is recommended that the power cable and/or extension cable
are fully unwound before a connection is made to the power supply. However, ensure the residual
cable does not pose a trip hazard.
5.2 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFETY VALVES
Information: The safety valves are designed and constructed for use exclusively with
compressed air, free from impurities. The materials used in construction are suitable for operating
the valve at the rated pressure and temperatures. The Viton or NBR gasket conserves the
resistance characteristics, even in prolonged use. The valve caulking impedes calibration
modification; tampering with the valve and/or changing the constructor’s calibration is forbidden.
Installation: Valve installation must be performed exclusively by technically prepared persons,
who are responsible and in good health. Checking the integrity of the valve before installation is
obligatory. Also, check that the valve pressure is no greater than the operating pressure of the
tank or of the system to protect.
