SERVICE
Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
Disconnect power supply, open drain valve to
decompress tank and allow water to drain, and allow
air compressor to become cool to the touch before
servicing. Turn pressure regulator knob fully clockwise
after shutting off compressor.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement
parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section
of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to
follow Maintenance instructions may create a risk of
injury.
Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual care-
fully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the
specific potential hazards related to this tool. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or seri-
ous injury.
Drain tank of moisture after each day’s use.
If unit will not be used for a while, it is best to leave drain
valve open until such time as it is to be used. This will
allow moisture to completely drain out and help prevent
corrosion on the inside of tank.
Risk of Fire or Explosion. Only spray flammable liquids
such as paints or lacquers. Never spray flammable liquids
in a confined area. Spray area must be well ventilated. Do
not smoke while spraying or spray where spark or flame
is present. Keep compressors as far from the spraying
area as possible, at least 0 feet from the spraying area
and all explosive vapors.
Risk of Bursting. Do not adjust regulator to result in
output pressure greater than marked maximum pressure
of attachment. Do not use at pressure greater than 15
psi.
Risk of Injury. Do not direct air stream at body. Do not
used compressed air for breathing. Do not carry while
painting.
