of the warnings and safety instructions provided before
using this equipment.
The air compressor should be operated on a dedicated 15 amp circuit. If the circuit does
not have 15 free amps available, a larger circuit must be used. Always use more air hose
before utilizing extension cords. All extension cords used must be 12 gauge with a
maximum length of 25 ft. The circuit fuse type must be a time delay. Low voltage could
cause damage to the motor. Always have adequate space (12 inches) on all sides of the
air compressor. Spraying paint and other materials will always need to be in another
area away from the air compressor to prevent damage to the air compressor filter. If spray-
ing flammable materials, locate compressor at least 20 feet away from spray area. An
additional length of hose may be required. Store flammable materials in a secure loca-
tion away from compressor.
If the air compressor is in operation, all guards and covers should be attached or
installed correctly. If any guard or cover has been damaged, do not operate the
equipment until authorized personnel have correctly repaired the equipment. The power
cord should be free of any moving parts, twisting and/or crimping while in use and while
in storage. Do not operate this equipment without all guards properly installed.
There are surfaces on your air compressor that can cause serious burns if touched. The
equipment should be allowed time to cool before any maintenance is attempted. Items
such as the compressor pump and the outlet tube are normally hot during and after
operation.
Operation of the air compressor should always be in a position that is stable. Never use
the air compressor on a rooftop or elevated position that could allow the unit to fall or be
tipped over. Use additional air hose for elevated jobs.
Always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety glasses with side shields when the air
compressor is in use. Turn off the air compressor and drain the air tank before
performing any type of maintenance or disassembly of the hoses or fittings. Never point
any nozzle or sprayer toward any part of the body or at other people or animals.
Avoid using the air compressor in confined areas. Also keep children, pets, and others
out of the area of operation. This air compressor does not provide breathable air for
anyone or any auxiliary breathing device.
