Childproof the workshop. The use of master switches and padlocks is highly
recommended. Remove starter keys where applicable.
Drain liquid from air tank daily
•
Use the drain valve located on the bottom of the lower air tank to drain. Failure to
properly drain liquid from the tank will cause rust from moisture buildup, which weakens
the tank and could lead to a violent tank explosion. Periodically inspect the tanks for
unsafe conditions such as corrosion, cracked welds, and leaks.
•
Release air slowly when draining moisture or depressurizing the air compressor. Fast
moving air will stir up dust, dirt, and debris, and may be harmful.
Risk of fire or explosion
•
Avoid dangerous environments. Do not spray combustible/flammable liquid in a confined
area. Spray area must be well ventilated. Do not smoke while spraying or spray where
spark or flame is present. Arcing parts - keep compressor at least 20 ft. away from
spraying area and all explosive vapors. Do not use compressor near gasoline or other
flammable materials.
