attached.
16. Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a
legible warning label.
17. Do not continue to use a tool or hose that leaks air
or does not function properly.
18. Always disconnect the air supply and power
supply before making adjustments, servicing a
tool, or when a tool is not in use.
19. Do not attempt to pull or carry the air station by
the hose.
20. Your tool may require more air consumption than
this air station is capable of providing.
21. Always follow all safety rules recommended by
the manufacturer of your air tool, in addition to all
safety rules for the air station. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
22. Never direct a jet of compressed air toward
people or animals. Take care not to blow dust and
dirt towards yourself or others. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious injury.
23. Do not use this air station to spray chemicals.
Your lungs can be damaged by inhaling toxic fumes.
A respirator may be necessary in dusty environments
or when spraying paint. Do not carry while painting.
24. Inspect tool cords and hoses periodically and,
if damaged, have repaired at your nearest
Authorized Service Center. Constantly stay aware of
cord location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock or fire.
25. Never use an electrical adaptor with this grounded
plug.
26. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the air
station or air tool, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will
operate properly and perform its intended function.
27. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and
any other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center. Following this rule will reduce the risk of shock,
fire, or serious injury.
28. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be sure
to use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.)
of at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord
7.6 m or less in length. A cord exceeding 15 m is not
recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating.
29. This equipment incorporates parts, such as snap
switches, receptacles, and the like that tend to
English
produce arcs or sparks and, therefore, when
located in a garage, it should be in a room or
enclosure provided for the purpose, or should be
457 mm or more above the floor.
30. Never store tool with air connected. Storing the tool
with air connected can result in unexpected firing and
possible serious personal injury.
31. Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
32. Do not operate coil air hoses above the rated
psi. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious
personal injury.
33. If the power supply cord is damaged, it must
be replaced only by the manufacturer or by an
authorized service center to avoid risk.
34. Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently
and use them to instruct others who may use this
tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these
instructions also.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

This tool is powered by a precision built electric motor.
It should be connected to a power supply that is 240V,
AC only (normal household current), 50 Hz. Do not
operate this product on direct current (DC). A substantial
voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will
overheat. If the air station does not operate when plugged
into an outlet, double check the power supply.

SPEED AND WIRING

This speed is not constant and decreases under a load or
with lower voltage.
For voltage, the wiring in a shop is as important as the
horsepower rating of the motor. A line intended only for
lights cannot properly carry a power tool motor. Wire that
is heavy enough for a short distance will be too light for a
greater distance. A line that can support one power tool
may not be able to support two or three tools.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk
of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and
a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a
matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not
modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the
