RISK OF EXPLOSION OR
FIRE
Serious injury or death may
occur from normal electrical
sparks in motor and pressure
switch
Serious injury may occur if any
air compressor ventilation open-
ings are restricted, causing the
air compressor to overheat and
start a fire.
Serious injury or death may
occur from an air tank explo-
sion if air tanks are not properly
maintained.
Serious injury may occur from
an air compressor malfunc-
tion or exploding accessories if
incorrect system components,
attachments or accessories are
used.
Always operate air compressor
in a well ventilated area free of
flammable vapors, combustible
dust, gases or other combustible
materials.
DO NOT SMOKE if spraying
flammable material. Locate the
air compressor at least 20 feet
away from the spray area. (An
additional hose may be required.)
Never place objects against or
on top of air compressor. Oper-
ate air compressor at least 12
inches away from any wall or
obstruction that would restrict
proper ventilation.
Drain air tank daily or after each
use to prevent moisture buildup
in the air tank.
If air tank develops a leak,
replace the air tank immedi-
ately. Never repair, weld or make
modifications to the air tank or its
attachments. Use only genuine
manufacturer repair parts for
your air compressor.
Never make adjustments to the
factory set pressures.
Never exceed manufacturers
maximum allowable pressure rat-
ing of attachments.
Because of extreme heat, do not
use plastic pipe or lead tin sol-
dered joints for a discharge line.
Never use air compressor to in-
flate small, low pressure objects
such as toys.
