Static electricity.
Ensure, that where required, the compressor and ancillaries are earthed
In accordance with BS5958 Part 1 1983; 'Control of Undesirable Static

Powder-air combinations are potentially explosive.
Drive line.
It is the responsibility of the installer of the equipment to ensure that all
Rotating and moving parts of the installation are adequately guarded to
a standard which complies with the prevailing safety legislation.
Compressor.
The compressor has internal moving parts, some of which may be accessed
Through the inlet and outlet apertures. Do not place any objects especially
fingers into these apertures since personal injury could result.
Installation.
A relief valve must be fitted in the outlet pipe work as close to the
compressor as possible. The valve must be positioned so as not to vent air
on to any personnel since the air discharged will be hot and can cause
severe burns.
Service.
The compressor and other installed components may contain accumulated
dust. Appropriate respiratory protection is recommended in line with
normal safe working practices.
Fire.
The compressor includes seals made of fluoroelastomer polymers which
degrade if exposed to temperatures above 300°C. If the material has been
so exposed then it must not be handled with bare hands.
Relief Valve Check
This procedure should be carried out every month to clear the valve seat and
check the valve is functional. (Ear protection is recommended). Function of
the relief valve should always be checked after major servicing.
