IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE SAFE USE OF THE COMPRESSOR

THE INAPPROPRIATE USE AND POOR MAINTENANCE OF THIS COMPRESSOR MAY CAUSE PHYSICAL INJURY TO

1. DO NOT TOUCH MOVING PARTS

Never put your hands, fingers or other parts of the body near moving parts of the compressor.

Always wear goggles or equivalent eye protection means. Never direct compressed air towards any part of your body or that of others.
