Exposure to chemicals in dust
created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities may be
harmful.
Sprayed materials such as paint,
paint solvents, paint remover,
insecticides, weed killers, may
contain harmful vapors and poisons.
• Work in an area with good cross
ventilation. Read and follow the
safety instructions provided on the
label or safety data sheets for the
materials you are spraying. Always
use certified safety equipment:
NIOSH/OSHA respiratory protection
or properly fitting face mask
designed for use with your specific
application.
_ I__ RISK OF BURSTING
Air Tank: On February 26, 2002, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
published Release # 02-108 concerning air compressor tank safety:
Air compressor receiver tanks do not have an infinite life. Tank life is dependent
upon several factors, some of which include operating conditions, ambient
conditions, proper installations, field modifications, and the level of maintenance.
The exact effect of these factors on air receiver life is difficult to predict.
If proper maintenance procedures are not followed, internal corrosion to the
inner wall of the air receiver tank can cause the air tank to unexpectedly rupture
allowing pressurized air to suddenly and forcefully escape, posing risk of injury
to consumers.
Your compressor air tank must be removed from service by the end of the year
shown on your tank warning label.
The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank, and result in
a violent air tank explosion:
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Failure to properly drain condensed
water from air tank, causing rust
and thinning of the steel air tank.
Modifications or attempted repairs
to the air tank.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Drain air tank daily or after each use.
If air tank develops a leak, replace it
immediately with a new air tank or
replace the entire compressor.
Never drill into, weld, or make any
modifications to the air tank or its
attachments. Never attempt to
repair a damaged or leaking air tank.
Replace with a new air tank.

Attachments & accessories:
Exceeding the pressure rating of

fly apart, and could result in serious
injury.
