WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
2. Do not operate compressors in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Compressors create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a compressor.
Provide barriers or shields as needed.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Grounded compressors must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the
grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. If the compressors should electrically malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
2. Do not expose compressors to rain or wet conditions. Water entering an electric
motor will increase the risk of electric shock.
3. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to pull the Plug from an
outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts.
Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Damaged Power Cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
4. AN EXTENSION CORD MUST
NEVER BE USED WITH THIS ITEM. Connecting
this item to an outlet through an extension cord MAY CAUSE ELECTRICAL
DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR and could present a FIRE HAZARD.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense during use. Do not
use while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating may result in serious personal injury.
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep
your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is turned off before plugging
in. Plugging in compressors with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.
4. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the compressor on. A wrench
or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the compressor may result in personal
injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
