Important Safety Instructions & Guidelines 

 

 

Risk to Breathing 

Avoid using  the  air compressor in confined areas. Always  have 
adequate space (12 inches) on all sides of the air compressor. Also keep 
children, pets, and others out of the area of operation. This air compressor 
does not provide breathable air for anyone or any auxiliary breathing device. 
Spraying material will always need to be in another area away from the air 
compressor to not  allow intake  air to damage the  air compressor filter.

 

Risk of Electrical Shock 

 

Never utilize the air compressor in the rain or wet conditions. Any electrical 
issues or repairs should be performed by authorized personnel such as an 
electrician and should comply with all national and local electrical codes. The air 
compressor should also have the proper three prong grounding plug, correct 
voltage, and adequate fuse protection. 

Risk of 

Explosion or Fire 

Never operate the compressor near combustible materials, gasoline or solvent 
vapors. If spraying flammable materials, locate the  air compressor at least 
20 feet away from the spray area. Never operate the air compressor  indoors or 
in a  confined area. 

Risk of Bursting 

Always drain the air compressor tank daily or after each use. If the tank 
develops a leak, then replace the air compressor. Never use the air com- 
pressor after  a  leak  has been found  or try to make any  modifications to 
the tank.  Never  modify the  air compressor’s factory  settings which  control 
the tank pressure or any other function.
