Operational Warnings:
1. To reduce the risk of explosion or fire, never spray flammable liquids in a confined area.
Make sure the work area is well ventilated. Never smoke while spraying. Never spray near
flames or sparks. Keep compressor away from all flammable objects.
2. Air from a compressor is not suitable for breathing purposes. Never inhale air from the
compressor.
3. Never alter or weld on the air compressor tank. Welding on a tank is extremely hazardous
and could affect tank strength; this may result in an explosion, causing severe injury or death.
4. Never use the compressor outdoors in the rain, or on a wet surface. Electric shock may
result.
5. Never make adjustments or work on the compressor when it is pressurized.
