Global Machinery Company AC30G Air Compressor User Manual


 
17. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate a power tool when you are
tired.
18. Check for damaged parts. Before using a tool,
check that there are no damaged parts. If a part is
slightly damaged, carefully determine if it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, proper mounting and any other
conditions that may affect the operation of the tool.
A part that is damaged should be properly repaired
or replaced by an authorised service facility, unless
otherwise indicated in this Instruction Manual.
Defective switches must be replaced by an authorised
service facility. Do not use a tool if the switch does
not turn the tool on and off correctly.
19. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact
with grounded objects such as water pipes, radiators,
cookers and refrigerator enclosures.
20. Use only approved parts. When servicing, use only
identical replacement parts. Use an authorised service
facility to fit replacement parts.
Additional safety rules for air compressors
Warning. Before connecting a tool to a power source
(mains switch power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure
that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on
the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage
greater than that specified for the tool can result in
serious injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool.
If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power source
with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful
to the motor.
Always remove the plug from the mains socket before
making any adjustments or maintenance, including
renewing the lubricating oil.
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, never spray
flammable liquids in a confined area. It is normal for
the compressor motor and pressure switch to produce
sparks during use. If sparks come into contact with
petrol vapours or solvents, they may ignite the vapours
and cause a fire or explosion.
Always operate the compressor in a well ventilated area.
Do not smoke while spraying. Do not spray where sparks
or flames are present. Keep the compressor as far away
from the spray area as possible.
The solvents trichloroethane and methylene chloride can
chemically react with the aluminium used in some paint
spray guns and form an explosion. If these solvents are
used, ensure that only stainless steel spray equipment is
connected. The compressor is not affected by the use of
these solvents.
Never directly inhale the compressed air produced by
a compressor and do not use it for charging breathing
tanks.
Do not use welding equipment in close proximity to the
compressor. Do not weld anything to the air tank of the
compressor: this could dangerously weaken the tank and
will void the warranty.
Do not use the compressor outdoors when it is raining
or on a wet surface; either situation could cause an
electric shock.
Always shut off the compressor after use and before
servicing. Push the on/off knob down, wait for the
pressurised air to bleed from the tank from the release
valve and then remove the electrical plug from the
power supply.
Check the maximum pressure rating of any tools or
accessories that you intend using with the compressor.
The output pressure of the air from the compressor must
be regulated so that it never exceeds the rated pressure
of the tool or accessory.
