Safety Information (continued)
AIR COMPRESSOR AND
PNEUMATIC TOOL SAFETY
□
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.
□
Your tool may require more air consumption than
this air compressor is capable of providing.
□
Never direct a jet of compressed air toward people
or animals.
□
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty.
□
Do not use this air compressor to spray chemicals.
Your lungs can be damaged by inhaling toxic
fumes. A respirator may be necessary in dusty
environments or when spraying paint.
□
This compressor is equipped with a thermal
overload protector which will shut off the motor if it
becomes overheated.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY (ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION)
□
This air compressor is powered by a precision built
electric motor. It should be connected to a power
supply that is 240 volts, 60 Hz, AC only.
□
Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A
substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power
and the motor will overheat. If the air compressor
does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
double check the power supply.
WARNING
:
Do not attempt to modify this tool or create
accessories not recommended for use with this tool.
Any such alteration or modification is misuse and could
result in a hazardous condition leading to possible serious
personal injury.
CAUTION
:
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
to the unit.
CAUTION
:
Risk of bursting. Do not adjust the regulator
to result in output pressure greater than the marked
maximum pressure of the attachment. Do not use at
pressure greater than the rated maximum pressure of this
compressor.
CAUTION
:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
expose the compressor to rain. Store indoors.
WARNING
:
Improperly connecting the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical
shock.
CAUTION
:
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
CAUTION
:
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
CAUTION
:
Replace damaged cords/wiring immediately.
Damaged cords/wiring increase the risk of electric shock.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY (SPEED AND WIRING)
□
The no-load speed of this product is approximately
775 rpm. This speed is not constant and decreases
under a load or with lower voltage.
□
For voltage, the wiring in a shop is as important as
the motor’s horsepower rating. A line intended only
for lights cannot properly carry a power tool motor.
Wire that is heavy enough for a short distance will
be too light for a greater distance. A line that can
support one power tool may not be able to support
two or three products.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY (GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS)
□
This product must be connected to a grounded,
metallic, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-
grounding terminal or lead on the product.
