IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
EXPLOSION. Exercise
caution when using pressurized air.
To prevent injury and for your general
safety, only use high-pressure hoses,
fittings and couplings designed for use
with air compressors.
Inspect all hoses, fittings and couplings
for leaks and wear. When leaks and wear
are detected, stop use and replace those
items immediately. Do not repair.
Never leave pressurized air in the air tank
when performing maintenance.
Never leave the air compressor
unattended with the power supply in use
and the air hose connected.
WARNING:
EXPLOSION. Improper
care could lead to the air tank bursting or
exploding.
Drain air tank daily or after each use to
prevent moisture buildup in the air tank.
Rust can weaken the air tank and cause
leaks or bursting. If rust is detected,
replace tank immediately. Do not try to
repair the air tank by welding, drilling or
modifying it in any other way.
These modifications can weaken the air
tank and cause a hazardous condition.
If air tank develops a leak, replace the air
tank immediately. Never repair, weld or
make modifications to the air tank or its
attachments.
Never make adjustments to the factory-set
pressures.
Never exceed manufacturer's
maximum-allowable pressure rating
attachments.
Because of extreme heat, do not use
plastic pipe or lead tin solder joints for a
discharge line.
WARNING:
EXPLOSION, FIRE
Use caution to minimize risk of fire or
explosion.
It is normal for the air compressor motor
and pressure switch to produce sparks
while operating. If sparks come in contact
with vapors from gasoline or solvents,
they may ignite and cause a fire or
explosion.
Abrasive tools such as grinders, drills and
other tools are capable of making sparks
that can ignite flammable materials.
Always operate the air compressor a safe
distance away from flammable items. Use
in well-ventilated areas.
Never exceed the maximum rated
pressure.
CAUTION:
Use caution when using
extension cords.
Use an extension cord which is no more
than 25’ (7.6 m) long and at least 14 gauge.
Using an excessively long or thin-wired
extension cord will cause severe damage
to the motor.
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has
a 3- blade grounding plug.
As undersized cord results in a drop in the
line voltage and loss of power and
overheating.
When in doubt, use a heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge the more current the
cord can carry.
