RISK OF BURSTING.
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
)resent. Keep compressor as far from spray area as possible.
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.
RISK OF BURSTING.
Never use an electric air compressor outdoors when it is raining or on a wet surface, as it may
cause an electric shock.
This unit starts automatically. ALWAYS shut off the compressor, remove the plug from the outlet,
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.
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.
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.
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 wilt protect you. Never directly inhale the
compressed air produced by a compressor. It is not suitable for breathing purposes.
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 the spray penetrates the skin.
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.
