I Follow the safety precautions for electrical connections
1. Follow all local electrical and safety codes,
as well as the National Electric Code (NEC)
and the Occupational Safety and Health
Act (OSHA).
3. Protect wires from contact with sharp objects.
2. Wiring and fuses should follow electrical
codes, current capacity and be properly
grounded.
All electrical connections should be made by
a qualified electrician.
Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands, face and ears
Dress for safety
1. Wear safety glasses (meeting ANSI Z87.1 or
in Canada CSA Z94.3-99) and use hearing
protection when operating the unit. Everyday
glasses are not safety glasses.
2. Wear shoes to prevent shock hazards.
Be careful when touching the exterior of comp-
ressor, pump, motor and air lines; they may
become hot enough to cause injury.
3. 13eback longhair.
Pay attention to your hands
Keep fingers away from running compressor.
Fast moving and hot parts may cause injury
and/or bums.
Never operate the compressor without a
beltguard. The compressor can start auto-
matically without warning. Personal injury or
property damage could occur from contact
with moving parts.
The compressor may be hot even if the unit is
stopped.
Use of a mask or respirator per chemical
manufacturers' instructions may be neces-
sary if there is a chance of inhaling toxic fumes.
Read mask and respirator instructions care-
fully. Consult a safety expert if you are not
sure about the use of certain masks or
respirators.
When operating 1
1. Do not exceed the pressure rating of any
component of the system.
2. Release pressure within the system slowly
to prevent flying dust and debris.
3. If the equipment starts to abnormally vibrate,
STOP the compressor immediately and
check for the cause.
Never change the safety valve or pressure
switch settings. Keep safety valve free from
paint and other accumulations. See compressor
specification decal for maximum operating
pressure. Do not operate with the pressure
switch set higher than the maximum operating
pressure.
