1.4 Safety precautions during maintenance or repair
General precautions
1. The operator must employ safe working practices and observe all related local work safety
requirements and regulations.
2. If any of the following statements does not comply with the applicable legislation, the stricter of the two
shall apply.
3. Installation, operation, maintenance and repair work must only be performed by authorised, trained,
specialised personnel.
4. The compressor is not considered capable of producing air of breathing quality. For air of breathing
quality, the compressed air must be adequately purified according to local legislation and standards.
5. Before any maintenance, repair work, adjustment or any other non-routine checks, stop the compressor,
press the emergency stop button, switch off the voltage and depressurise the compressor. In addition,
the power isolating switch must be opened and locked.
6. Never play with compressed air. Do not apply the air to your skin or direct an air stream at people.
Never use the air to clean dirt from your clothes. When using the air to clean equipment, do so with
extreme caution and wear eye protection.

2. Use only the correct tools for maintenance and repair work.
3. Use only genuine spare parts.
4. All maintenance work shall only be undertaken when the machine has cooled down.
5. A warning sign bearing a legend such as “work in progress; do not start” shall be attached to the
starting equipment.
6. Persons switching on remotely controlled machines shall take adequate precautions to ensure that there
is no one checking or working on the machine. To this end, a suitable notice shall be affixed to the
remote start equipment.
7. Close the compressor air outlet valve before connecting or disconnecting a pipe.
Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during
installation and Safety precautions during maintenance.
These precautions apply to machinery processing or consuming air or inert
gas. Processing of any other gas requires additional safety precautions
typical to the application which are not included herein.
Some precautions are general and cover several machine types and
equipment; hence some statements may not apply to your machine.
All responsibility for any damage or injury resulting from neglecting these
precautions, or non-observance of the normal caution and care required for
installation, operation, maintenance and repair, even if not expressly stated, will
be disclaimed by the manufacturer.
