Do not direct compressed air stream at people or pets. The powerful com-
pressed air stream can damage exposed skin and easily propel loose dirt and
other small objects at high-speed, resulting in serious injury. Always wear eye
protection that meets ANSI Z28.1 specifications. Use only OSHA approved air
blowguns. Never leave a pressurized air compressor unattended. Shut OFF air
compressor and relieve pressure before performing maintenance or repairs. Do
not move the air compressor while the air tank is pressurized. Never attempt to
move the air compressor by pulling on the air hose.

Portable air compressors can fall from a table, workbench, or roof causing
damage to the compressor and could result in serious injury or death to the
operator. Always operate air compressor in a stable and secure position to pre-
vent accidental movement of the unit. Never operate air compressor on a roof
or other elevated position. Use additional air hose to reach high locations.

Do not exceed the pressure rating of any air tools, spray guns, air accessories,
or inflatables. Excess pressure can cause them to explode, resulting in serious
injury. Follow the manufacturers recommended pressure settings for all air
tools and air accessories.

In order to avoid damaging the air compressor, do not allow the unit to be tilt-
ed more than 10º from the normal horizontal position when operating.
The compressor must be run with the rubber feet resting on a flat and stable
horizontal surface.
The air compressor must be used in a clean and well-ventilated area. The com-
pressor requires an unobstructed airflow and must be located a minimum of 20
inches from any walls or other obstructions that may prevent proper ventilation.

• Never attempt to repair or make modifications to the tank or its attachments.
Welding, drilling, or any other modifications may weaken the tank, which may
result in damage from rupture or explosion. Never remove or attempt to adjust the
pressure switch, safety valve, or other components that control tank pressure.
Never substitute parts or attempt to alter the factory set operating pressures.

Touching exposed metal such as the compressor head or exhaust tube can
result in serious burns. Keep hands and fingers away from exposed metal parts
on air compressor during or immediately after operation. Air compressors gen-
erate significant heat during normal operation and will remain hot for some time
after use. Do not reach around protective shrouds or attempt any maintenance
until compressor has been allowed to cool.
