Dust and debris may be harmful.
Store idle tools out of the reach of children and
other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care.
Follow maintenance
instructions. Properly maintained tools are easier to
control.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that
may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
Never point any tool toward yourself or others.
Keep the exterior of the air compressor dry, clean,
and free from oil and grease.
Always use a clean
cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, or any strong solvents to
