Always make sure the tool is in the OFF position and unplugged from the
electrical receptacle when making adjustments, changing parts, or perform-
ing any maintenance.
Secure work. When possible, the use of clamps or a holding device is much
safer than holding the work piece with your hands.
Keep protective guards in place and in proper working condition.
Maintain tools and equipment with care.
They will function better and more safely
when kept clean and in good working condition. Keeping the air compressor clean, dry,
and free of grime will add to its life and performance.
Childproof the workshop.
The use of master switches and padlocks is highly recom-
mended. 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 condensed liquid.
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 that 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. Operate the air compressor in a well-ventilated area. Do not direct
paint or other spray material towards the compressor. Read and follow all safety instruc-
tions for the material you are spraying. Be sure to use an approved respirator designed for
use with your specific application.
RISK OF INJURY
Do not direct air stream at body. Use eye protection. Compressor starts automatically. Do
not touch MOVING PARTS. Keep guards in place. Compressor does not supply breathable
air.
