WHAT TO
LOOK FOR
WHAT COULD HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Compressed air can propel dust, dirt or loose
particles it comes in contact with. These propelled
particles may cause serious injury or damage.
Never point the nozzle or sprayer toward a person
or any part of the body.
Always wear safety goggles or glasses when using
the air compressor.
Always turn the air compressor off before attaching
or removing accessories.
Compressed
Air
Check the manufacturer’s pressure rating for air
tools and accessories. Regulator outlet pressure
must never exceed the maximum pressure rating.
Too much air pressure applied to air tools or
accessories can cause damage or risk of bursting.
Air Tank
Modifications to the air compressor in an
attempt to reach higher air pressure can
cause the air tank to rupture or explode.
Compressor pump and motor create loads on
the tank. Use of non-original equipment, motor,
pump, and tank can cause tank to rupture or
explode.
Changing the air tank will cause it to weaken.
Do not adjust, remove or tamper with the safety
valve or pressure switch. If safety valve or pressure
switch replacement is necessary, a part with the
same rating must be used.
Only use original motor, compressor pump and
tank service parts.
Never drill into, weld or in any way modify the air
tank. The tank may rupture or explode.
Toxic Vapors
It is normal for compressed air to contain toxic
or irritating vapors. Such vapors are harmful if
inhaled.
Never directly inhale the compressed air produced
by this unit.
Read labels and safety data for all materials you
spray. Follow all safety precautions.
Read and follow the safety instructions provided on
the label or safety data sheet for the material you
are spraying. Use a respirator mask if there is a
chance of inhaling anything you are spraying. Read
all instructions . . . be sure that the respirator mask
is suitable for your application.
Certain materials you are spraying (like paint,
weed killer, sand or insecticide) can be harmful
if you inhale them.
Moving Parts
This compressor cycles automatically when the
pressure switch is in the ON/AUTO position. If
you attempt repair or maintenance while the
compressor is operating, or with the switch in the
ON/AUTO position, you can expose yourself to
moving parts. These moving parts can cause
serious injury or damage if they come into
contact with you or your clothing.
Never operate the compressor with the shroud
removed.
Always unplug the unit and release air pressure
from the tank and any accessories before doing
repair or maintenance.
Your air compressor is powered by electricity.
Like any other electrically powered device, if it is
not used properly it may cause electrical shock.
Electricity
Always unplug the air compressor prior to mainte-
nance or repair.
Never use the air compressor in the rain.
Always plug the cord into an electrical outlet with
the specified voltage or adequate fuse protection.
