Electrical Safety - Kobalt LK20175 Manual De Instrucciones

• Never direct a jet of compressed air toward people or animals. Take care not to blow dust
and dirt toward yourself or others. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious injury.
• Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
• Do not use this air compressor to spray chemicals. Your lungs can be damaged by inhaling toxic
fumes. A respirator may be necessary in dusty environments or when spraying paint. Do not carry
while painting.
• Inspect tool cords and hoses periodically and, if damaged, have repaired at your nearest
Authorized Service Center. Constantly stay aware of cord location. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
• Never use an electrical adaptor with this grounded plug.
• Check damaged parts. Before further use of the air compressor or air tool, a guard or other
part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A
guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized
service center. Following this rule will reduce the risk of shock, fire or serious injury.
• Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. A wire gauge size
(A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less in length. A cord
exceeding 100 feet is not recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating.
• Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may use
this air compressor. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.
WARNING:
The brass components of this product contain lead, a chemical known to the state of California to
cause birth defects (or other reproductive harm). (California health & safety code § 25249.5, et seq.)
WARNING:
The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which can
result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation, always wear safety goggles,
safety glasses with side shields, or a full face shield when needed. A wide vision safety mask is
recommended for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with side shields. Always use eye
protection which is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Extension cords
• Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that
accept the air compressor's plug.
• When using the air compressor at a considerable distance from the power source, use an extension
cord heavy enough to carry the current that the compressor will draw. An undersized extension cord
will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power and causing the motor to overheat. Use
the chart provided below to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord.
• Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) should be used.
• When working with the air compressor outdoors, use an extension cord that is designed for outside
use. This is indicated by the letters "W-A" on the cord's jacket.
Do not adjust the regulator to result in output pressure greater than
the marked maximum pressure of the attachment. Do not use at a
pressure greater than the rated maximum pressure of this compressor.
