Lubrication of air compressor
Before attempting to operate this air compressor the transport
plug must be removed, thrown out and replaced with the oil
breather. Check the oil level to ensure the level is to the top
of the red dot on the sight glass; refer to page 5 for complete
details and diagram. Failure to do these may result in damage to
the air compressor and / or injury to the user.
PLEASE follow the instructions noted on page 5 on changing the
transport plug to the oil breather.
Assembly
This air compressor MUST be fully assembled by you prior to
use. Failure to do so will result in the warranty being VOID.
Failure to fully assemble this air compressor may also result in
personal injury.
Safety
Before attempting to operate this air compressor the following
basic safety precautions should be taken to reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock and personal injury. It is important to read the
instruction manual and to understand applications, limitations
and potential hazards associated with the air compressor. This
air compressor is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Beware of children and pets
Children and pets should be kept out of the work area. Children
should not be allowed to touch or operate the air compressor,
tools or extension cords. This air compressor is not designed for
use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. The
air compressor and tools should be kept out of reach of children,
preferably stored or locked in a secure cabinet or room when
not in use.
GENERAL
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Work area
Work areas and benches should be kept tidy. Cluttered benches
and work areas can cause accidents. Floors should be kept clean
and free from rubbish. Special care should be taken when the
floor is slippery due to sawdust or wax. Always leave sufficient
distance, at least 5 metres between the air compressor and the
work area, especially when using tools designed for sanding or
spraying liquids.
Work environment
Do not expose your air compressor to rain, or use in damp or
wet conditions. Keep the work area well lit. Always ensure your
air compressor is level and stable. Using your air compressor
on unlevel or unstable ground may cause a lack of lubrication
and the pump to seize, this damage will not be covered under
warranty.
Guard against electric shock
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces (e.g. pipes
and refrigerators).
Do not force air compressors
The air compressor will do a better, safer job and give you
much better service life if it’s used at the duty cycle for which
it was designed. The duty cycle will only take effect after the
initial (1st ) tank fill for the day. This air compressors duty
cycle is 75%. Duty cycle is the proportion of time during which
the air compressor is operating compared with not operating.
For example a 75% duty cycle could mean after 45 seconds
of operation, motor pumping, the air compressor must be left
for 15 seconds resting, motor not pumping. When the motor is
pumping the attached air tool can not be used. Simple way to
understand duty cycle is only use the attached air tool while the
air compressor is not pumping. Stop using the attached tool as
soon as the air compressor starts pumping.
Use the right tool
Select the right tool for the job. Do not use a tool for a job for
which it was not designed. Do not force a small air compressor
to do the job of a heavy–duty air compressor. Do not use the air
compressor for purposes not intended.
Do not abuse 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. Regularly check the plug and cord and
if 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 lubricating 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 or air filter can cause overheating
and damage to the motor and this will not be covered under
warranty.
Disconnect air compressor
Ensure that the air compressor is disconnected from the mains
supply when not in use, before servicing, lubricating, making
adjustments or when changing any accessories.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches
Form the habit of always checking to see that any adjusting keys
or wrenches have been removed from the air compressor or
attached air tools before operating.
Avoid unintentional starting
Ensure that the ON/OFF button is in the ‘OFF’ position (Push
Button Down) before plugging the air compressor into the mains
supply.
Protect furnishings
If using the air compressor inside your house, protect furnishings
and floors with a suitable dust sheet.
Fire precautions
When using the air compressor inside your house or workshop
general fire precautions should be observed. As a precaution it is
recommended that an expert is consulted on obtaining and using
a suitable fire extinguisher.
Cleaning your air compressor
Always disconnect your air compressor from the mains power
supply before you commence cleaning. Always ensure that your
air compressor has cooled, about one (1) hour, before cleaning
and storing. When cleaning your air compressor use only a damp
soft cloth. NEVER use liquid or solvents of any type.
