Things Not To Do; Things You Should Know - Stanley 8216035SCR011 Instruction Manual

1. PRECAUTIONS
An ACOUSTIC PRESSURE value of 4 m.
corresponds to the ACOUSTIC POWER value stated
on the yellow label located on the compressor,
minus 20 dB.
THINGS TO DO
● The compressor must be used in a suitable
environment (well ventilated with an ambient
temperature of between +5°C and +40°C) and
never in places affected by dust, acids, vapors,
explosive or flammable gases.
● Always maintain a safety distance of at least 4 meters
between the compressor and the work area.
● Any coloring of the belt guards of the compressor
during painting operations indicates that the distance
is too short.
● Insert the plug of the electric cable in a socket of
suitable shape, voltage and frequency complying
with current regulations.
● Use extension cables with a maximum length of 5
meters and of suitable cross-section.
● The use of extension cables of different length and also
of adapters and multiple sockets should be avoided.
● Always use the switch I/O to switch off the
compressor.
● Always use the handle to move the compressor.
● When operating, the compressor must be placed on
a stable, horizontal surface.
NOT
THINGS TO DO
● Never direct the jet of air towards persons, animals
or your body. (Always wear safety goggles to protect
your eyes against flying objects that may be lifted by
the jet of air).
● Never direct the jet of liquids sprayed by tools connected
to the compressor towards the compressor.
● Never use the appliance with bare feet or wet hands
or feet.
● Never pull the power cable to disconnect the plug
from the socket or to move the compressor.
● Never leave the appliance exposed to adverse
weather conditions.
● Never transport the compressor with the receiver
under pressure.
● Do not weld or machine the receiver. In the case of
faults or rusting, replace the entire receiver.
Preserve this handbook for future reference.
● Never allow inexperienced persons to use the
compressor. Keep children and animals at a distance
from the work area.
● This appliance 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.
● Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
● Do not position flammable or nylon/fabric objects
closed to and/or on the compressor.
● Never clean the compressor with flammable liquids
or solvents. Check that you have unplugged the
compressor and clean with a damp cloth only.
● The compressor must be used only for air compression.
Do not use the compressor for any other type of gas.
● The compressed air produced by the compressor
cannot not be used for pharmaceutical, food or medical
purposes except after particular treatments and cannot
be used to fill the air bottles of scuba divers.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

● To avoid overheating of the electric motor, this
compressor is designed for intermittent operation
as indicated on the technical dataplate (for
example, S3-25 means 2.5 minutes ON, 7.5 minutes
OFF). In the case of overheating, the thermal cutout
of the motor trips, automatically cutting off the power
when the temperature is too high. The motor restarts
automatically when normal temperature conditions
are restored.
● To facilitate restart of the compressor, in addition
to the operations indicated, it is important to
return the button of the pressure switch to the
OFF position and then to ON again (paragraph
5.4).
● All the compressors are fitted with a safety valve
that is tripped in the case of malfunctioning of the
pressure switch in order to assure machine safety.
● When fitting a tool, the flow of air in output must be
switched off.
● When using compressed air, you must know and
comply with the safety precautions to be adopted for
each type of application (inflation, pneumatic tools,
painting, washing with water-based detergents only,
etc.).
