□
Keep compressors as far from the spraying area as
possible: at least 15 ft. (4.6 m) from the spraying
area and all explosive vapors.
□
If connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use time-
delay fuses with this product.
□
Ensure the hose is free of obstructions or snags.
Entangled or snarled hoses can cause loss of
balance or footing, and may become damaged.
□
Use the air compressor only for its intended use. Do
not alter or modify the unit from the original design
or function. Never weld or drill holes in the air tank.
□
Never leave a tool unattended with the air hose
attached.

Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a
legible warning label.
□
Do not continue to use a tool or hose that leaks air or
does not function properly.
□
Do not attempt to pull or carry the air compressor
by the hose.

Never direct a jet of compressed air toward people
or animals.

Do not use the compressor in an environment
that is dusty or otherwise contaminated. Using the air
compressor in this type of environment may cause damage
