chemical known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
Since the air compressor and other
components (filters, lubricators, hoses,
etc.) used, make up a high pressure
pumping system, the following safety
precautions must be observed at all
times:
1. Read all manuals included
with this product carefully.
Be thoroughly familiar
with the controls and the
proper use of the equipment.
2. Follow all local electrical and safety
codes as well as in the US, National
Electrical Code (NEC) and
Occupational Safety and Health Act
(OSHA).
3. Only persons well acquainted with
these rules of safe operation should
be allowed to use the compressor.
4. Keep visitors away and NEVER allow
children in the work area.
5. Wear safety glasses and
use hearing protection
when operating the
pump or unit.
6. Do not stand on or use the pump or
unit as a handhold.
7. Before each use, inspect compressed
air system and electrical components
for signs of damage, deterioration,
weakness or leakage. Repair or
replace defective items before using.
8. Check all fasteners at frequent
intervals for proper tightness.
Motors, electrical equipment
and controls can cause
electrical arcs that will ignite
a flammable gas or vapor. Never
operate or repair the unit near a
flammable gas or vapor. Never store
flammable liquids or gases in the
vicinity of the compressor.
