WARNING
Improper operation or maintenance of this product could result in
serious injury and/or property damage. Read and understand all of
the warnings and safety instructions provided before using
this equipment.
CAUTION
The air compressor should be operated on a dedicated 15 amp circuit. If
the circuit does not have 15 free amps available, a larger circuit must be
used. Always use more air hose before utilizing extension cords. All
extension cords used must be 12 gauge with a maximum length of 25 ft.
The circuit fuse type must be a time delay. Low voltage could cause
damage to the motor.
Risk of Moving Parts
If the air compressor is in operation, all guards and covers should be
attached or installed correctly. If any guard or cover has been damaged,
do not operate the equipment until the proper personnel has correctly
repaired the equipment. The power cord should be free of any moving
parts, twisting and/or crimping while in use and while in storage.
Risk of Burns
There are surfaces on your air compressor that while in operation and
thereafter can cause serious burns if touched. The equipment should be
allowed time to cool before any maintenance is attempted. Items such as
the compressor pump and the outlet tube are normally hot during and
after operation.
Risk of Falling
Operation of the air compressor should always be in a position that is
stable. Never use the air compressor on a rooftop or elevated position
that could allow the unit to fall or be tipped over. Use additional air hose
for elevated jobs.
Risk from Flying Objects
Always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety glasses with side shields when
the air compressor is in use. Turn off the air compressor and drain the air
tank before performing any type of maintenance or disassembly of the
hoses or fittings. Never point any nozzle or sprayer toward any part of the
body or at other people or animals.
