Read and understand all safety precautions in this manual before operating. Failure to
comply with instructions in this manual could result in personal injury, property damage,
and/or voiding of your warranty. The manufacturer WILL NOT be liable for any damage
because of failure to follow these instructions.
RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION. Never spray flammable liquids in a confined
area. It's 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.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Never use an electric air compressor outdoors when
it is raining or on a wet surface, it may cause an electric shock.
RISK OF INJURY. This unit starts automatically. ALWAYS shut off the main power
disconnect, 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.
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 outlet tube while the
pump is running. Let them cool before handling or servicing. Keep children away from the
compressor at all times.
RISK TO BREATHING. Be certain to read all labels when you are spraying paints or
toxic materials, and follow the safety instructions. Use a 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. Never directly inhale the compressed air produced by a compressor.
It is not suitable for breathing purposes.
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 or any part of
the body. Equipment can cause serious injury if spray penetrates the skin.
RISK OF BURSTING. 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. 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. Do not adjust the relief valve for any reason. Doing so voids all
warranties. The relief 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. Failure to properly drain condensed water from
air tank causes rust and thinning of the steel air tank. 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.
RISK TO HEARING. Always wear hearing protection when using an air compressor.
Failure to do so may result in hearing loss.
The motor or power cord on this product may contain lead, a chemical known to the
State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash
hands after handling.
