physical and material harm. In order to avoid them, follow
the recommendations below:
1. This equipment:

automatically due to tank's pressure or to the tripping of
electric protectionelements;
- may cause mechanical or electric interferences in nearby
equipment;
- must not work in places where non authorized people,
children or animals may have access;
- requires an authorized person to supervise its use and
maintenance as well as the use of adequate individual
protection equipment;

they may affect its resistance or may hide more serious
problems. In case of leakage, cracks or deterioration caused
by corrosion, stop using the equipment immediately and get
in touch with the nearest Black&Decker Authorized Service
Center.
5. Never run the tank above the maximum pressure indicated on its
identification tag.
6. The end user must provide a new inspection of the Pressure
Vessel (tank) to be carried out after 5 (five) years from the
manufacturing date shown in its identification tag, or when
there is chemical or mechanical damage that may endanger its
resistance. The inspection must be carried out and approved by
a duly qualified engineer (skilled professional), according to
local technical standards and legislation. The next period for
testing will be determined by the responsible engineer himself.
We recommend that the Pressure Vessel (tank) be exchanged
for a new one every 10 (ten) years, or according to the
responsible engineer's judgment.
7.
Air compression is a heat generating process and parts and
accessories are subject to high temperatures. Therefore,
one must be careful when handling them in order to avoid
burns.

8.
The produced compressed air is not adequate for
human consumption. To use it for this purpose, it is
necessary to install special filters. Please contact

9.
Do not carry out any maintenance while the compressor is
on. Do not clean or touch the electric components without
unplugging the compressor from the outlet.
10. The refrigeration air intake protecting screen must be always clean
to prevent the propeller from pulling in impurities.
11. Never clean the compressor's external surface with solvent
(thinner). Always use neutral detergent.
12.
Avoid the accumulation of solvents, paints or other
chemicals that may cause damage or explosion risk to the
compressor.
13.
Always use an electric extension cord according to
specifications (see Table 2 - page 23) which must not be
amended. If these recommendations are not followed, the
user may be injured and the compressor's electric
components may be damaged, violating the warranty.
When necessary, use a longer air hose.
