Porter-Cable PXCM201, Instruction Manual

4- ENG 

1. 

RISK OF FIRE OR 

EXPLOSION.

  Never spray 

flammable liquids in a confined 
area. It is normal for the motor 
and pressure switch to produce 
sparks while operating. If sparks 
come into contact with vapors 

from gasoline or other solvents, they may 
ignite, causing fire or explosion. Always 
operate the compressor in a well–ventilated 
area. Do not smoke while spraying. Do not 
spray where sparks or flame are present. 
Keep compressor as far from spray area as 
possible.

2. 

RISK OF ELECTRICAL 

SHOCK. 

Never use an electric 

air compressor outdoors when 
it is raining or on a wet surface, 

as it may cause an electric shock.

3. 

RISK OF INJURY. 

This unit 

starts automatically. ALWAYS 
shut off the compressor, remove 
the plug  from the outlet, and 

bleed all pressure from the system before 
servicing the compressor, and when the 
compressor is not in use. Do not use the 
unit with the shrouds or beltguard removed. 
Serious injury could occur from contact 
with moving parts.

4. 

RISK OF BURSTING. 

Check 

the manufacturer’s maximum 
pressure rating for air tools and 
accessories. Compressor outlet 

pressure must be regulated so as to never 
exceed the maximum pressure rating of the 
tool. Relieve all pressure through the hose 
before attaching or removing accessories.

5. 

RISK OF BURNS. 

High 

temperatures are generated 
by the pump and manifold. To 

prevent burns or other injuries, DO NOT  
touch the pump, manifold or transfer tube 
while the pump is running. Allow them to  
cool before handling or servicing. Keep 
children away from the compressor at all 
times.

6. 

RISK TO BREATHING. 

Be 

certain to read all labels when 
you are spraying paints or toxic 
materials, and follow the safety 

instructions. Use a respirator mask if there 
is a chance of inhaling anything you are 
spraying. Read all instructions and be sure 
that your respirator mask will protect you. 
Never directly inhale the compressed air 
produced by a compressor. It is not 
suitable for breathing purposes.

7. 

RISK OF EYE INJURY.

Always wear ANSI Z87.1 
approved safety goggles  when 

using an air compressor. Never point any 
nozzle or sprayer toward a person or any 
part of the body. Equipment can cause 
serious injury if the spray penetrates the 
skin.

8. 

RISK OF BURSTING. 

Do not 

adjust the relief valve for any 
reason. Doing so voids all 
warranties. The relief valve has 

been pre-set at the factory for the 
maximum pressure of this unit. Personal 
injury and /or property damage may result if 
the relief valve is tampered with.

9. 

RISK OF BURSTING.

Do not 

use plastic or pvc pipe for 
compressed air. Use only 
gavanized steel pipe and fittings 

for compressed air distribution lines.

10. 

RISK TO HEARING.

 Always 

wear hearing protection when 
using an air compressor. Failure 

to do so may result in hearing loss. 

11. The power cord on this 
product contains lead, a 
chemical known to the State of 
California to cause cancer, and 

birth defects or other reproductive harm.  

Wash hands after handling.

NOTE: ELECTRICAL WIRING.

 Refer to 

the air compressor’s serial label for the 
unit’s voltage and amperage requirements.
