WARNING!
In the event that an air line is cut or broken, the air supply must be turned
off at the compressor. A broken air line which is not supported is extremely dangerous
and can whip around very quickly, both with the capability of striking people, and
blowing foreign particles into the air.
Do not attempt to catch the air line but immediately keep bystanders well clear and
turn off the air supply to the hose, turn off the compressor at the On / Off button,
and then remove the hose from the compressor.
