•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
•
Remove keys or wrenches before connecting the tool to an air supply, power supply, or turning on the
tool. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may cause personal injury.
•
Secure the work with clamps or a vise instead of your hand when practical. This safety precaution
allows for proper tool operation using both hands.
•
Never touch any exposed metal parts on compressor during or immediately after operation. The
compressor will remain hot for several minutes after operation. Do not reach around protective
shrouds or attempt maintenance until the unit has been allowed to cool.
•
The compressed air stream can cause soft tissue damage to exposed skin and can propel dirt, chips,
loose particles and small objects at high speed, resulting in property damage or personal injury.
Never point any nozzle or sprayer toward any part of the body or at other people or animals.
⚠
CAUTION
AIR COMPRESSOR USE AND CARE
•
Do not force the air compressor. Products are safer and do a better job when used in the manner for
which they are designed. Plan your work and use the correct product for the job.
•
Check for damaged parts before each use. Carefully check that the product will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Replace damaged or worn parts immediately. Never operate the
product with a damaged part.
•
Do not use a product with a malfunctioning switch. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
power switch is dangerous and must be repaired by an authorized service representative before
using.
•
Disconnect the power/air supply from the product and place the switch in the locked or off position
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
•
Store the product when it is not in use. Store it in a dry, secure place out of the reach of children.
Inspect the tool for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.
•
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for use with your product.
Accessories that may be suitable for one product may create a risk of injury when used with another
tool. Never use an accessory that has a lower operating speed or operating pressure than the tool
itself.
•
Keep guards in place and in working order. Never operate the product without the guards in place.
•
Do not leave the tool running unattended.
•
Drain the moisture from the tank on a daily basis. A clean, dry tank will help prevent corrosion.
•
Pull the pressure relief valve ring daily to ensure that the valve is functioning properly, and to clear
the valve of any possible obstructions.
