LUBRICATION OF COMPRESSOR
Before attempting to operate this air compressor
the transport plug must be removed, thrown out
and replaced with the oil breather. Check the
oil level to ensure the level is to the top of the
red dot on the sight glass; refer to page 10 for
complete details and diagram. Failure to do these
may result in damage to the air compressor
and / or injury to the user.
PLEASE follow the instructions noted on page 10
on changing the transport plug to the oil breather.
ASSEMBLY
This compressor MUST be fully assembled by you
prior to use. Failure to do so will result in the
warranty being VOID. Failure to fully assemble
this compressor may also result in personal injury.
SAFETY
Before attempting to operate this air compressor
the following basic safety precautions should be
taken to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
and personal injury. It is important to read the
instruction manual and to understand applications,
limitations and potential hazards associated
with the air compressor. This air compressor
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.
BEWARE OF CHILDREN AND PETS
Children and pets should be kept out of the work
area. Children should not be allowed to touch
or operate the air compressor, tools or extension
cords. This air compressor is not designed
for use by young children or infirm persons
without supervision. The air compressor and
tools should be kept out of reach of children,
preferably stored or locked in a secure cabinet
or room when not in use.

WORK AREA

Work areas and benches should be kept tidy.
Cluttered benches and work areas can cause
accidents. Floors should be kept clean and free
from rubbish. Special care should be taken
when the floor is slippery due to sawdust or wax.
Always leave sufficient distance, at least 5 metres
between the air compressor and the work area,
especially when using tools designed for sanding
or spraying liquids.
WORK ENVIRONMENT
Do not expose your air compressor to rain or use
in damp or wet conditions. Keep the work area
well lit. Always ensure your compressor is level
and stable. Using your compressor on uneven or
unstable ground may cause a lack of lubrication
and the pump to seize, this damage will not be
covered under warranty.
GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces (e.g. pipes and refrigerators).
DO NOT FORCE AIR COMPRESSORS
The air compressor will do a better, safer job and
give you much better service if it's used at the
duty cycle for which it was designed.
The duty cycle will only take effect after the initial
(1st ) tank fill for the day.
This air compressors duty cycle is 75%.
Duty cycle is the proportion of time during which
the air compressor is operating compared with
not operating. For example a 75% duty cycle
could mean after 45 seconds of operation, motor
pumping, the air compressor must be left for
15 seconds resting, motor not pumping.
When the motor is pumping the attached air tool
can not be used. Only use the attached air tool
while the compressor is not pumping. Stop using
the attached tool as soon as the air compressor
starts pumping.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL
Select the right tool for the job. Do not use a tool
for a job for which it was not designed.
Do not force a small air compressor to do the job
of a heavy–duty air compressor. Do not use the
air compressor for purposes not intended.
