WARNING: RISK FROM FLYING OBJECTS
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• The compressed air stream
can cause soft tissue damage
to exposed skin and can
propel dirt, chips, loose
particles, and small objects
at high speed, resulting in
property damage or personal
injury.
• Always wear certified safety
equipment: ANSI Z87.1 eye
protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3)
with side shields when using
the compressor.
• Never point any nozzle or
sprayer toward any part of
the body or at other people or
animals.
• Always turn the compressor off
and bleed pressure from the
air hose and air tank before
attempting maintenance,
attaching tools or accessories.
DANGER: RISK TO BREATHING (ASPHYXIATION)
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Breathing
ex
haust fumes
can cause se ri ous injury or
death! Engine exhaust con-
tains high levels of carbon
monoxide (CO), a poison-
ous gas you cannot see or
smell. You may be breath-
ing CO even if you
do not
smell engine exhaust.
•
NEVER
use an engine inside
homes, garages, crawlspaces
or other partly enclosed
areas. Deadly levels of carbon
monoxide can build up in
these areas. Using a fan or
opening windows and doors
does
NOT
supply enough
fresh air.
•
Only
use outdoors and far
away from open windows,
doors and vents. These
openings can pull in engine
exhaust.
• Keep children, pets and others
away from area of operation.
• Always keep the exhaust
manifold free of foreign
objects.
