POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCE
PREVENTION
Serious injury or death may occur
from normal electrical sparks in the
motor and pressure switch.
Serious injury may occur if any air
compressor ventilation openings
are restricted, causing the air
compressor to overheat and start a
fire.
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 the air compressor. Operate
the air compressor at least 12
inches away from any wall or
obstruction that would restrict proper
ventilation.
RISK OF
EXPLOSION OR FIRE
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS BEFORE USING AIR COMPRESSOR
Drain the air tank daily or after each
use to prevent moisture buildup in
the air tank.
If the air tank develops a leak,
replace the air tank immediately.
Never repair, weld or make
modifications to the air tank or its
attachments. Use only genuine
Mi-T-M
®
repair parts for your air
compressor.
Never make adjustments to the
factory set pressures.
Never exceed manufacturers
maximum allowable pressure rating
of attachments.
Because of extreme heat, do not
use plastic pipe or lead tin soldered
joints for a discharge line.
Never use air compressor to inflate
small, low pressure objects such as
toys.
Serious injury or death may occur
from an air tank explosion if air
tanks are not properly maintained.
Exceeding the pressure rating of
air tools, spray guns, air operated
accessories, tires and other
inflatables can cause them to
explode or fly apart, and could
result in serious injury.
