WHAT CAN HAPPEN
solvents, paint remover,
insecticides, weed killers,
etc., contain harmful
vapors and poisons.
• Breathing compressor or
sprayed materials vapor
can result in serious
injury.
The compressed air
stream can cause soft
tissue damage, and can
propel dirt, chips, loose
particles and small objects
at high speed, resulting in
property damage or
personal injury.
The compressor cycles
automatically when the
pressure switch is in the
on/auto position. If you
attempt repair or
maintenance while the
compressor is operating or
plugged in, you can
expose yourself to moving
parts. These moving parts
can cause serious injury.
Contact with hot parts
such as the compressor
head or outlet tubes could
result in a serious skin
burn.
HOW TO PREVENT IT

respirator designed for
use with your specific
application.
• Always wear approved
safety glasses with side
shields when using the
compressor.
• Never point any nozzle
or sprayer toward any
part of the body or at
other people or animals.
• Always turn the
compressor off and bleed
pressure from the air line
before attempting
maintenance, attaching
tools or accessories.
• Always unplug the
compressor and
release air pressure
from the tank and any
attachments before
attempting any
maintenance or repair.
• Never operate the
compressor with guards
or covers which are
damaged or removed.
• Never touch hot
components during or
immediately after
operation of the
compressor. Do not
