Air Compressor Safety Warnings

1. 

Risk of fire or explosion - do not spray 
flammable liquid in a confined area or towards a 
hot surface.  Spray area must be well-ventilated.  
Do not smoke while spraying or spray where 
spark or flame is present.  Arcing parts - keep 
compressor at least 20 feet away from explosive 
vapors, such as when spraying with a spray gun.

2. 

Risk of bursting - do not adjust regulator higher 
than marked maximum pressure of attachment.

3. 

Risk of injury - do not direct air 
stream at people or animals.

4. 

Do not use to supply breathing air.

5. 

Do not leave compressor unattended 
for an extended period while plugged in.  
Unplug compressor after working.

6. 

Keep compressor well-ventilated.  
Do not cover compressor during use.

7.  Drain Tank daily and after use.

8.  Do not remove the valve cover or 

adjust internal components.

9.  Compressor head gets hot during operation.  

Do not touch it or allow children nearby 
during or immediately following operation.

10.  Do not use the air hose to move the compressor.

11.  The use of accessories or attachments not 

recommended by the manufacturer may 
result in a risk of injury to persons.

12.  All air line components, including hoses, pipe, 

connectors, filters, etc., must be rated for a minimum 
working pressure of 150 PSI, or 150% of the 
maximum system pressure, whichever is greater.

13.  USE OF AN EXTENSION CORD IS NOT 

RECOMMENDED.  If you choose to use an 
extension cord, use the following guidelines:

a.  Make sure your extension cord 

is in good condition.

b.  Be sure to use an extension cord which 

is heavy enough to carry the current your 
product will draw.  An undersized cord will 
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss 
of power and overheating.  Table A shows the 
correct size to use depending on cord length 
and nameplate ampere rating.  If in doubt, 
use the next heavier gauge.  The smaller 
the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

14.  Industrial applications must follow OSHA guidelines.

15.  Maintain labels and nameplates on the 

compressor.  These carry important safety 
information.  If unreadable or missing, contact 
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.

16.  This product is not a toy.   

Keep it out of reach of children.

17.  Operate unit on level surface.

18.  People with pacemakers should consult their 

physician(s) before use.  Electromagnetic fields in 
close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause 
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.

19. 

This Compressor will automatically shut 
off on overload or under excessive heat.  

Should this occur, turn the Power Switch (34) to 
its “OFF” position.  Wait until the Compressor 
cools.  Then, turn the Power Switch to 
its “ON” position to resume work.

20. 

Spray painting only.  

Never use this unit with 

gasoline, kerosene, or any other flammable solvent.

 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
