WHAT TO
LOOK FOR
WHAT COULD HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Your air compressor is powered by electricity. Like any
other electrically powered device, if it is not used
properly it may cause electrical shock.
Electricity
It is normal for compressed air to contain toxic or
irritating vapors. Such vapors are harmful if inhaled.
Certain materials you are spraying (like paint, weed
killer, sand or insecticide) can be harmful if you inhale
them.
Toxic Vapors
The solvents 1,1,1 - Trichloroethane and Methylene
Chloride can chemically react with aluminum used in
paint spray guns, paint pumps, etc., and cause an
explosion. These solvents can also react with galva-
nized components and cause corrosion and weaken-
ing of parts. This does not affect your air compressor
- but it may affect the equipment being used.
Unsuitable
Solvents
Read the label or data sheet supplied with the material
you intend to spray. If it contains the solvents listed do
not use accessories that contain aluminum or galva-
nized parts. You must either change the material you
intend to spray, or use only stainless steel spray equip-
ment.
Always unplug the air compressor prior to maintenance
or repair.
Never use the air compressor in the rain.
Always plug the cord into an electrical outlet with the
specified voltage and adequate fuse protection.
Never directly inhale the compressed air produced by
this unit.
Read labels and safety data for all materials you spray.
Follow all safety precautions.
Read and follow the safety instructions provided on the
label or safety data sheet for the material you are
spraying. Use a respirator mask if there is a chance of
inhaling anything you are spraying. Read all instruc-
tions . . . be sure that the respirator mask is suitable for
your application.
GLOSSARY
UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS
Grasp the handle and lift the air compressor out of the carton. Remove the styrofoam and/or cardboard and
discard.
STORAGE
DUTY CYCLE
All DeVilbiss Air Power manufactured air compressors should be operated on not more than a 50% duty cycle. This
means an air compressor that pumps more than 50% of one hour, is considered misuse, because the air compressor
is undersized for the required air demand. Maximum compressor pumping time per hour is 30 minutes.
1. Set the "ON/OFF" switch to "OFF" and unplug the
cord.
2. Relieve all pressure from the air compressor head and
air hose by setting the adjustable pressure valve to 10
P.S.I.
3. Protect the electrical cord and air hose from damage
by winding them loosely around the air compressor.
4. Store the air compressor in a clean and dry location.
When you have finished using the air compressor:
SCFM or CFM: Standard Cubic Feet per Minute; a unit of
measurement of air delivery.
PSIG or PSI: Pounds per square inch gauge.
