er source other than that specified in the tool
operating/safety instructions. Use of alterna-
tive power sources may result in malfunctions of
the compressor and the power source which may
lead to serious injury of you or others in your sur-
roundings.
Follow all recommendations for sizes of hoses,
fittings and other compressed air accessories.
Improperly sized fitting or components may result
in the risk of injury or property damage
Never move the compressor by pulling on a
hose.
The compressor, air fittings and the air
hose may become damaged and burst.
Check air supply lines for restrictions before
adjusting tool. Air volume is as important as air
pressure. Restricted air flow will prevent the tools
from operating as designed.
Never exceed the maximum allowable pres-
sure rating marked on tools and attachments.
Do not use compressor to inflate low pressure
objects such as toys. Exceeding the maximum
recommended pressure of tools and attachments
can cause them to burst. The correct pressure is
the lowest pressure that will do the job.
Drain condensate from air tanks daily with
drain valve. Draining water from the air com-
pressor reduces the risk of the air tank corro-
sion. Corroded air tanks have an increased risk
of bursting.
Stop the compressor, drain air tanks and allow
it to cool before making adjustments, moving
the compressor, leaving the work area, per-
forming maintenance or storing the compres-
sor. Such precautionary safety measures reduce
the risk of injury.
Do not modify this compressor or operate
compressor at pressures or speeds greater
than designed. Any alteration or modification is
a misuse and may result in a dangerous condition
such as fire or bursting.
When transporting compressor, keep level
and place on a protective mat. Do not place
compressor on its side. Such precautions re-

duce the risk of fire or danger to personnel from
oil fumes.
SerVICe
Maintenance performed by unauthorized per-
sonnel may result in misplacing of the internal
components which could cause serious haz-
ard. We recommend that all compressor service
be performed by a BOSCH factory service center
or authorized BOSCH service station.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for
your tool. When cleaning a compressor be
careful not to disassemble any portion of the
tool since internal components may be mis-
placed or safety components may be improp-
erly mounted. Certain cleaning agents such as
gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may
damage plastic parts and o-rings.
When servicing the compressor, use only rec-
ommended BOSCH replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the Maintenance section of this
manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to
follow Maintenance Instructions can cause a risk
of injury.
replace missing or damaged warning labels.
Refer to schematic for correct placement and part
number.
Maintain compressor with care.
compressor clean and lubricated.
ly maintained tools are less likely to break and
cause injury. Any alteration or modification is a
misuse and may result in a dangerous condition.
Clean the tool at least daily and lubricate as re-
quired.
When not in use, store the compressor out of
reach of children and other personnel unfa-
miliar with compressor operation. When not in
use, the tool should be disconnected and stored
in a dry place. Vent the air tank. Keep out of
reach of children. Lock the storage area. Com-
pressor can be dangerous in the hands of users
unfamiliar with its operation.
