- A POTENTIAL
HAZARD THAT MAY
CAUSE
MODERATE iNJURY OR DAMAGE TO
EQUIPMENT.
RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION. Never spray flammable liquids in a confined area. It is normal for the motor and pressure switch
to produce sparks while operating. If sparks come into contact with vapors from 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.
RISK OF BURSTING. Do not weld, drill or modify the air tank of this compressor. Welding or modifications on the air
_l_j _, 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.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Never use an electric air compressor outdoors when it is raining or on a wet surface, as it may
cause an electric shock. Failure to provide adequate grounding to this product could result in
serious injury or death from electrocution. Make certain that the electrical circuit to which the
compressor is connected provides proper electrical grounding, correct voltage and adequate fuse
)rotection.
RISK OF INJURY. This unit starts automatically. ALWAYS shut off the compressor, remove the plug from the outlet,
._r and bleed all pressure from the system before servicing the compressor, and when the compressor _, is not in use. Do not use the unit with the shrouds or belt guard removed. Serious injury could
occur from contact with moving parts. Stay alert and watch what you are doing when operating the
compressor. Do not use the compressor while tired or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
RISK OF BURSTING. Check the manufacturer's maximum pressure rating for air tools and accessories. Compressor
_l_j _, outlet pressure must be regulated so as to never exceed the maximum pressure rating of the
toot. 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.
RISK OF BURNS. High temperatures are generated by the pump and manifold. To prevent burns or other injuries, DO
NOT touch the pump, manifold or transfer tube while the pump is running. Allow them to cool before
handling or servicing. Keep children away from the compressor at all times. Do not reach around
%otective shrouds or attempt to maintenance until unit has been allowed to cool.
RISK TO BREATHING/ Always wear MSHNNIOSH approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator and work
INHALATION HAZARD.. 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
::iiii_ili_:i_i: ' 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.
RISK TO BREATHING. Be certain to read all labels when you are spraying paints or toxic materials, and follow the safety
::iiii_ili_:i_i:. instructions provided on the labte 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.
RISK OF EYE INJURY. 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.
RISK OF BURSTING. .Do not adjust the pressure relief valve for any reason. Doing so voids all warranties. The relief
_l_j _, 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.
