Additional Safety Instructions For Air
Compressors
1.
Operate the compressor in a well-ventilated
area free of acids, vapor, explosive gases
and flammable or unstable materials.
2.
Use compressor only with air, never use
with any other type of gas.
3.
Never aim the air nozzle directly at yourself
or others. The air stream can be quite force-
ful and can damage skin.
4.
Do not pull on rubber hoses to move the
compressor.
5.
Do not use compressed air for filling breath-
ing or diving apparatus. Compressed air
from this compressor cannot be used for
pharmaceutical, food or health require-
ments without further treatment.
6.
Never transport the compressor under pres-
sure. Always make sure the pressure in the
storage tanks has been released before
loading or moving the air compressor.
7.
Never attempt to adjust the pressure safety
valve on the air tanks. This is preset to 150
PSI.
Operating this equipment has the potential
to propel debris into the air which can
cause eye injury. Always wear safety glass-
es or goggles when operating equipment.
Everyday glasses or reading glasses only
have impact resistant lenses, they are not
safety glasses. Be certain the safety glass-
es you wear meet the appropriate stan-
dards of the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI).
Like all power tools, there is danger asso-
ciated with the operation of air compres-
sors. Accidents are frequently caused by
lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention.
Use this equipment with respect and cau-
tion to lessen the possibility of operator
injury. If normal safety precautions are
overlooked or ignored, serious personal
injury may occur.
No list of safety guidelines can be com-
plete. Every shop environment is different.
Always consider safety first, as it applies to
your individual working conditions. Use
this and other machinery with caution and
respect. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury, damage to equip-
ment or poor work results.
