IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
gasoline or other solvents, they may ignite, causing fire or explosion. Always operate the
compressor in a well–ventilated area. Do not smoke while spraying. Do not spray where sparks or
flame are present. Keep compressor as far from spray area as possible. Store flammable materials
in a secure location away from compressor. Equip the area of operation with a fire extinguisher.
Do not weld, drill or modify the air tank of this compressor. Welding or modifications on the air
compressor tank can severely impair tank strength and cause an extremely hazardous condition.
Welding or modifying the tank in any manner will void the warranty. If tank develops a leak, replace
it immediately with a new tank or replace the entire compressor.
Check the manufacturer's maximum pressure rating for air tools and accessories. Compressor
outlet pressure must be regulated so as to never exceed the maximum pressure rating of the
tool. Relieve all pressure through the hose before attaching or removing accessories. Never use
compressor to inflate small low pressure objects such as children's toys, footballs, basketballs, etc.
High temperatures are generated by the gasoline engine, transfer tube, and the pump. To prevent
burns or other injuries, DO NOT touch these items while the engine is running. Allow them to
cool before handling or servicing. Keep children away from the compressor at all times. Do not
reach around protective shrouds or attempt to maintenance until unit has been allowed to cool.
Always wear MSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator and work
in a well ventilated area when using tools that generate dust. Some dust created by power
sanding, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known (to the State
of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
•
lead from lead-based paints
•
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products
•
arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Be certain to read all labels when you are spraying paints or toxic materials, and follow the safety
instructions provided on the label or safety sheets for the materials you are spraying. Use a MSHA/
NIOSH approved respirator mask if there is a chance of inhaling anything you are spraying. Read
all instructions and be sure that your respirator mask will protect you. Work in an area with good
cross ventilation.
Always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety goggles when using an air compressor. Never point any
nozzle or sprayer toward a person, animal or any part of the body. Equipment can cause serious
injury if the spray penetrates the skin.
•Do not adjust the tank safety valve for any reason. Doing so voids all warranties. The safety valve
has been pre-set at the factory for the maximum pressure of this unit. Personal injury and /or
property damage may result if the relief valve is tampered with.
•Do not use plastic or pvc pipe for compressed air. Use only galvanized steel pipe and fittings for
compressed air distribution lines.
