SPECIFIC RULES FOR AIR COMPRESSORS
5. Keep your air compressor in a well-ventilated area. Do not cover during use.
6. Do not spray flammable liquids in a confined area or towards a hot surface. The spray area must be well-ventilat-
ed. Do not smoke while spraying. Do not spray when a spark or flame is present.
7. Do not adjust the regulator higher than the marked maximum pressure of any attached pneumatic tools or equip-
ment.
8. Do not direct the air stream at people or animals.
9. Do not use your air compressor to supply breathing air.
10. To prevent burns or other injuries, do not touch any exposed metal parts on compressor during or immediately
after operation. The air compressor’s cylinder head and air lines get hot during operation and will remain hot for
several minutes after operation.
11. Do not leave your air compressor unattended for an extended period while plugged in. Unplug compressor and
detach hoses and accessories after use.
12. Drain tank daily or after use. Internal rust causes tank failures and explosions.
13. Do not use the air hose to move your air compressor.
14. Do not grind, puncture, torch or in anyway modify the compressor’s tank.
15. Disconnect the plug from the power source and drain all air from the tank before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing your air compressor. This reduces the risk of starting your air compressor acciden-
tally.
16. Maintain your air compressor. Keep your air compressor clean for maximum performance. Follow the instruc-
tion for maintenance and changing accessories if necessary. Keep your air compressor dry, clean and free from oil
and grease.
17. Store your air compressor out of the reach of children and do not allow people unfamiliar with either the com-
pressor or these instructions to operate it. An air compressor is dangerous in the hands of an untrained user.
18. Ignoring any of the above rules and guidelines automatically voids the warranty for the unit.
