AIR COMPRESSOR SAFETY

1. Do not use your air compressor if the pressure switch

does not turn the compressor on and off. An air com-

pressor that cannot be controlled with the switch is dan-

gerous and must be repaired.

2. 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 ac-

cidentally.

3. 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 com-

pressor is dangerous in the hands of an untrained user.

4. Maintain your air compressor. Keep your air compres-

sor clean for maximum performance. Follow the instruc-

tion for maintenance and changing accessories if neces-

sary. Keep your air compressor dry, clean and free from

oil and grease.

5. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts and any other condition that may af-

fect your air compressor’s operation. If damaged, have

your air compressor repaired by a qualiﬁed service tech-

nician before using it again. Many accidents are caused

by poorly maintained compressors.

6. Use your air compressor in accordance with these in-

structions, taking into account working conditions and

the task at hand. Use of the compressor for operations

other than its intended use could result in personal in-

jury.

7. Do not spray ﬂammable liquids in a conﬁned area or

towards a hot surface. The spray area must be well-ven-

tilated. Do not smoke while spraying. Do not spray when

a spark or ﬂame is present.

8. Always operate the compressor in a well-ventilated

area away from combustible materials, gasoline, or sol-

vent vapors. Your air compressor must be kept at least

20 feet away from explosive vapors.

9. Do not adjust the regulator higher than the marked

maximum pressure of any attached pneumatic tools or

equipment.

10. Do not direct the air stream at people or animals.

11. Do not use to supply breathing air.

12. Do not leave your air compressor unattended for an

extended period while plugged in. Unplug compressor

and detach hoses and accessories after use.

13. Keep your air compressor in a well-ventilated area.

Do not cover during use.

14. Drain tank daily or after use. Internal rust causes

tank failures and explosions.

15. To prevent burns or other injuries, do not touch any

exposed metal parts on compressor during or immedi-

ately after operation. The air compressor’s cylinder head

and air lines get hot during operation, and will remain

hot for several minutes after operation.

16. Do not use the air hose to move your air compressor.

17. Do not grind, puncture, torch or in anyway modify

the compressor’s tank.

18. Ignoring any of the above rules and guidelines auto-

matically voids the warranty for the unit.
