HAZARDS CAN OCCUR IF EQUIPMENT IS NOT USED PROPERLY.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CHART,
WHAT COULD HAPPEN
The compressorhead anddischarge tube(s)get hot
when the air compressor is running. If you touch
them, youcanbeseriouslyburned.
It isnormalforthe motorandpressure switch to spark
when the compressor starts or stops. A spark can
ignite flammable vapors from gasoline or solvents
causing a fire or explosion.
The solvents 1,1,1 -Trichloroethane and Methylene
Chloride can chemically reactwith aluminum used in
paint spray guns, paint pumps,etc., and cause an
explosion. These solvents can also react with galva-
nized components and causecorrosion andweaken-
ing ofparts. This doesnotaffect yourair compressor,
but it may affect the equipment being used.
Compressed air can propel dust, dirt or loose par-
ticles it comes in contact with. These propelled par-
ticles may cause serious injury or damage.
Toomuch air pressure appliedto airtoolsoraccesso-
riescancause damageor riskofbursting.
