Flammable
It is normal for the motor and pressure switch to
spark when compressor starts or stops. A spark
can ignite vapors from gasoline or solvents,
causing a fire or explosion.
Air Tank
Modifications to air compressor components in an
attempt to reach higher air pressure can cause the
air tank to rupture or explode.
Never replace the air tank with a different model or
a larger tank. Return to Sears Service Center if
replacement is required.
Never drill into, weld or in any way modify the air

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CHART.
WHAT COULD HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Vapors
Do not adjust, remove or tamper with the safety
valve or pressure switch. If safety valve or pressure
switch replacement is necessary, a part with the
same ratings must be used.
Incompatibility between tank and compressor will
cause the tank to rupture.
Modifications to the air tank will cause it to weaken.
Hot Parts
The metal compressor components, such as
manifold , tubes, etc. become hot when the air
compressor is running. If you touch them, you
may be seriously burned.
Avoid contact with metal components of the
compressor during or immediately after operation.
Reaching under or removing portions of the plastic
enclosures such as the console cover exposes hot
surfaces. Allow compressor to cool prior to
servicing.
If spraying a flammable material, provide ample
ventilation. Never spray in a closed area. There
must be a flow of fresh air at all times.
Always operate the air compressor in well-ventilated
areas, free of gasoline or other solvent vapors. Do
not operate the compressor near the spray area.
