Do not have your face close to the safety valve when
performing this test as air will discharge from the valve at a
high force.
If the safety valve does not operate correctly in any way as
described above, turn off the compressor immediately and
have the compressor and safety valve checked and tested
at an authorised service centre.
DO NOT CONTINUE TO USE THE COMPRESSOR
IN ANY WAY IF THE SAFETY VALVE DOES NOT
WORK AS ABOVE.
Maintaining the air filter
1. To clean the air filter insert you need to take the air filter
(15) apart first. This can be achieved by lifting the air
filter housing cover over the protruding tabs on the air
filter casing followed by pulling the air filter housing cover
towards you.
2. Pull out the air filter and tap it a few times against a
surface that is dry and clean to loosen up and remove
any dust and build up. Now soak it in warm soapy water,
rinse and wring dry.
3. Replace the air filter insert
cartridge, then re-install the
filter cover back on by firstly
lining up the lugs and pushing
the cover firmly over the lugs
to securely lock the air filter
housing into position.
General inspection
1. Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight.
2. The supply cord of the tool should be checked frequently
for damage. If damaged, have the cordset replaced by an
authorised service facility to avoid a hazard.
Cleaning
1. Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at
all times.
2. Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done
with a soft brush or a rag.
3. Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
4. If the body of the compressor needs cleaning, wipe it
with a soft damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used but
nothing like alcohol, petrol or other cleaning agent.
5. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
CAUTION. Water must never come into contact
with the tool.
Power cord maintenance
Only an authorised service centre should replace the
cordset or carry out other repairs. If the cordset is damaged
or worn, have it repaired or replaced by an authorised
service centre.
