UIDELINES

 

DANGER 

 AN IMMEDIATE HAZARD THAT WILL  

CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE. 

1.

 

TO REDUCE THE 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  vapours  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 
flames are present. Keep the compressor as far away from the spray area as possible. 

2.

 

The  solvents  Trichloroethane  and  Methylene  Chloride  can  chemically  react  with 
Aluminium used in paint spray guns, paint pumps etc, and cause an explosion. If you 
are using these solvents, use only stainless-steel spray equipment. This does not affect 
your air compressor, but many affect the equipment being used. 

3.

 

Never directly inhale the compressed air produced by the air compressor. It is not 
suitable for breathing purposes.

 

WARNING 

 A POTENTIAL HAZARD THAT COULD  

CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.

 

1.

 

Do not weld on the air tank of this compressor. Welding on the air compressor tank 
will affect the strength and cause an extremely hazardous condition. Welding on the 
tank in any manner will void the warranty.  

2.

 

Never use an electric air compressor outdoors when it is raining or on a wet surface, 
as it may cause an electric shock. 

3.

 

ALWAYS  shut  off  the  compressor,  remove  the  plug  from  the  outlet,  and  bleed  all 
pressure from the system when the compressor is not in use or before servicing. 

4.

 

Check  the  manufacture

r’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. 

5.

 

High temperatures and moving parts are present under the shroud. To prevent burns 
or other injuries, DO NOT operate with the shroud removed. Allow the compressors 
parts to cool before handling or servicing,
