6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Make sure you are wearing
your protective clothing, safety glasses with side shields and dust mask or air respirator,
if appropriate.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Do not force the compressor. Use the correct compressor for your application.
The correct compressor will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
Never attempt to force the compressor to provide more pressure than it was designed
for.
2. Do not use the compressor if the Power Switch does not turn it on or turn it off.
Any compressor that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and
must be repaired or replaced.
3. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the compressor. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the compressor accidentally.
4. Keep idle compressors out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
Compressors are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain compressors with care. Keep all components of this product clean and
dry. Do not use a damaged compressor. Tag damaged compressors “Do not use” until
repaired.
6. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the compressor’s operation. If damaged, have the
compressor serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
compressors.
7. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one compressor may become hazardous when
used on another compressor.
