WARNING:

DANGER:
Since air compressors and other compo-
nents (material pump, spray gun, filters,
lubrications, hoses, etc.) used make up a
high pressure pumping system, the fol-
lowing safety precautions should be
observed at all times. Only persons well
acquainted with these rules of safe oper-
ation should be allowed to use the air
compressor.
1. Read instruction manuals for each
component carefully, before attempt-
ing to assemble, disassemble or
operate your particular system.
2. Wear safety glasses (meeting ANSI
Z87.1 or in Canada CSA Z94.3-99)
and use hearing protection when
operating the pump or unit. Everyday
glasses are not safety glasses.
3. Do not exceed pressure rating of any
component in system.
4. Protect material lines and air lines
from damage or puncture. Keep hose
and power cable away from sharp
objects, chemical spills, oil, solvents,
and wet floors.
5. Never point a spray gun at oneself or
any other person. Accidental dis-
charge may result in serious injury.
6. Check hoses for weak or worn condi-
tion before each use, making certain
all connections are secure; do not
use if deficiency is found. Notify an
authorized service facility for exami-
nation or repair.
7. Release all pressures within system
slowly; dust and debris may be harm-
ful.
Before Using the Air Compressor
All electrical work should be
done by a qualified (licensed or
certified) electrician. On a prop-
erly wired circuit, the black
wires supply a voltage potential
even when the unit is off.

WARNING:
Disconnect power and depres-
surize system before servicing
air compressor! (Turn pressure
regulator knob fully clockwise
after shutting off compressor.)
