•
Exposure to chemicals
in dust
created by power sanding,
sawing,
grinding,
drilling, and other
construction
activities
may be
harmful.
•
Sprayed
materials
such as paint,
paint solvents,
paint remover,
insecticides,
weed killers, may
contain
harmful vapors and poisons.
Work in an area with good cross
ventilation.
Read and follow the

_RISK
OF BURSTING
Air Tank: The air tank on your compressor
is designed and may be UM coded
[for units with air tanks greater than 6" (152.4 mm) diameter] according
to ASME
Section VIII, Div. 1 rules. All pressure vessels should be inspected
once every two
years. To find your state pressure vessels inspector, look under the Division of
Labor and Industries in the government
section of a phone book.
The following
conditions
could lead to a weakening
of the air tank, and result in a
violent air tank explosion:
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
•
Failure to properly
drain condensed
•
water from air tank, causing rust and
thinning
of the steel air tank.
•
Modifications
or attempted
repairs
•
to the air tank.
Unauthorized
modifications
to
the safety valve or any other
components
which control air tank
pressure.
Attachments
& accessories:
•
Exceeding
the pressure rating of
air tools, spray guns, air operated
accessories,
tires, and other
inflatables
can cause them to
explode
or fly apart, and could result
in serious injury.
HOW TO PREVENT
IT
Drain air tank daily or after each use.
If air tank develops
a leak, replace
it
immediately
with a new air tank or
replace the entire compressor.
Never drill into, weld, or make any
modifications
to the air tank or its
attachments.
Never attempt
to
repair a damaged
or leaking air tank.
Replace with a new air tank.
The air tank is designed
to withstand
specific
operating
pressures.
Never make adjustments
or parts
substitutions
to alter the factory set
operating
pressures.
Follow the equipment
manufacturers
recommendation
and never exceed
the maximum
allowable
pressure
rating of attachments.
Never use
compressor
to inflate small low
pressure objects
such as children's
toys, footballs,
basketballs,
etc.
