components (material pump, spray
guns, fi lters, lubricators, hoses, etc.)
used, make up a high pressure pumping
system, the following safety precautions
must be observed at all times:
1. Read all manuals
included with this
product carefully. Be
thoroughly familiar
with the controls and
the proper use of the
equipment.
2. Follow all local electrical and safety
codes, as well as in the U.S.A.,
National Electrical Codes (NEC) and
Occupational Safety and Health Act
(OSHA).
3. Only persons well acquainted with
these rules of safe operation should
be allowed to use the compressor.
4. Keep visitors away and NEVER allow
children in the work area.
5. Wear safety glasses and
use hearing protection
when operating the
pump or unit.
6. Do not stand on or use the pump or
unit as a handhold.
7. Before each use, inspect compressed
air system and electrical components
for signs of damage, deterioration,
weakness or leakage. Repair or
replace defective items before using.
8. Check all fasteners at frequent
intervals for proper tightness.

from tank daily.
12. Tanks rust from moisture build-up,
which weakens the tank. Make

periodically for unsafe conditions
such as rust formation and
corrosion.
13. Fast moving air will stir up dust
