adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box.
The adapter (C) is not for use in Canada.
DEWALT does not recommend the use of extension cords. This
can create power loss and overheating of the motor. Use an
additional air hose rather than an extension cord. If use of an
extension cord is unavoidable, it should be plugged into a GFCI
found in circuit boxes or protected receptacles. When using an
extension cord, observe the following.
RISK FROM FLYING OBJECTS
The compressed air stream can cause soft tissue damage to
exposed skin and can propel dirt, chips, loose particles and small
objects at high speed, resulting in serious injury. Always wear ANSI
Z28.1 approved safety glasses with side shields when using the
compressor. Never direct air stream at people or animals. Use only
OSHA approved air blow guns.
RISK TO BREATHING
The compressed air from your compressor is not safe for breathing!
The air stream may contain carbon monoxide, toxic
vapors or solid particles. Never inhale air from the
compressor either directly or from a breathing device
connected to the compressor.
Sprayed materials such as paint, paint solvents, paint
remover, insecticides, weed killers, etc. contain
harmful vapors and poisons. NOTE: Operate air compressor only in
a well ventilated area. Read and follow the safety instructions
provided on the label or safety data sheets for the material you are
spraying. Use a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator designed for
use with specific application.
RISK FROM MOVING PARTS
The compressor cycles automatically when the pressure switch is in
the ON/AUTO position. Always turn off the com-
pressor, bleed pressure from the air hose and tank,
and disconnect from power source before
performing maintenance or attaching tools and
accessories.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
can be caught in moving parts. Air vents may cover moving parts
and should be avoided as well. Do not remove the protective covers
from this product. Never operate compressor with guards or
protective covers that are damaged or removed. Never stand on
the compressor.
RISK OF BURNS
Touching exposed metal such as the compressor head or aftercooler
can result in serious burns. Never touch any exposed metal parts
on compressor during or immediately after operation. Compressor
