Porter-Cable C6001 Instruction Manual page 5

Tires:
• Over inflation of tires could
result in serious injury
and property damage.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Your compressor is powered
by electricity. Like any other
electrically powered device,
if it is not used properly it
may cause electric shock.
• Repairs attempted by
unqualified personnel can
result in serious injury or
death by electrocution.
• Electrical Grounding:
Failure to provide adequate
grounding to this product
could result in serious injury
or death from electrocution.
Refer to Grounding
Instructions paragraph in
the Installation section.
RISK FROM FLYING OBJECTS
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• The compressed air stream can
cause soft tissue damage to
exposed skin and can propel
dirt, chips, loose particles,
and small objects at high
speed, resulting in property
damage or personal injury.
• Use a tire pressure gauge to check
the tires pressure before each use
and while inflating tires; see the tire
sidewall for the correct tire pressure.
NOTE: Air tanks, compressors and similar
equipment used to inflate tires can fill
small tires very rapidly. Adjust pressure
regulator on air supply to no more than
the rating of the tire pressure. Add air
in small increments and frequently use
the tire gauge to prevent over inflation.
HAZARD
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Never operate the compressor outdoors
when it is raining or in wet conditions.
• Never operate compressor with
protective covers removed or damaged.
• Any electrical wiring or repairs
required on this product should be
performed by authorized service
center personnel in accordance with
national and local electrical codes.
• Make certain that the electrical
circuit to which the compressor
is connected provides proper
electrical grounding, correct voltage
and adequate fuse protection.
HAZARD
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Always wear certified safety equipment:
ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/
CSA Z94.3) with side shields
when using the compressor.
• Never point any nozzle or sprayer
toward any part of the body or
at other people or animals.
• Always turn the compressor off and
bleed pressure from the air hose and
air tank before attempting maintenance,
attaching tools or accessories.
