When operating the air compressor, make sure all other people and animals maintain a safe
distance.
Do not move the air compressor when the air tank is under pressure.
Never use the air hoses to pull or move the air compressor.
For use on a hard, level surface capable of sustaining the weight of the compressor and any other
tools and people in the work area.
6. Adjust regulator to desired pressure.
Note: This electric model is equipped with a pressure switch that automatically turns the motor off
when the tank pressure reaches its preset level. Once air pressure in the tank drops to a preset low
level, the pressure switch automatically turns the motor back on.

WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
To prevent injury or property damage, only use high-pressure hoses, fittings, and couplings
designed for use with air compressors.
Never use this compressor to inflate small low-pressure objects, i.e., balloons/inflatables, small or
low volume PSI tires. It is easy to over-pressurize them, causing them to rupture. Identify the
inflation capacity of an object prior to filling it with air. Use a gauge to check the pressure regularly
when inflating anything.
Inspect all hoses, fittings and couplings for leaks and wear. When leaks and wear are detected,
stop use immediately and replace those items before continuing use. Do not repair.
Never leave pressurized air in the air tank when performing maintenance.
Never leave the air compressor unattended with the power supply in use and the air hose
connected.
Improper care could lead to the air tank bursting or exploding.
Drain air tank daily or after each use to prevent moisture buildup in the air tank.
Rust can weaken the air tank and cause leaks or bursting. If rust is detected, replace tank
immediately. Do not try to repair the air tank by welding, drilling or modifying it in any other way.
These modifications can weaken the air tank and cause a hazardous condition.
Never make adjustments to factory-set pressures.
Never exceed manufacture’s maximum-allowable pressure rating attachments.
Because of extreme heat, do not use plastic pipe or lead tin solder joints for discharge line.

WARNING
EXPLOSION AND FIRE HAZARD
Do not use the compressor in the presence of gasoline, solvents, flammable liquids, or flammable
