IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 vapors 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 flame are present. Keep compressor as far from spray area as possible.
Store flammable materials in a secure location away from compressor. Equip the area of operation with a fire
extinguisher.
Do not weld, drill or modify the air tank of this compressor. Welding or modifications on the air compressor tank
can severely impair tank strength and cause an extremely hazardous condition. Welding or modifying the tank in
any manner will void the warranty. If tank develops a leak, replace it immediately with a new tank or replace the
entire compressor.
Never use an electric air compressor outdoors when it is raining or on a wet surface, as it may cause an
electric shock. Failure to provide adequate grounding to this product could result in serious injury or death from
electrocution. Make certain that the electrical circuit to which the compressor is connected provides proper
electrical grounding, correct voltage and adequate fuse protection.
This unit starts automatically. ALWAYS shut off the compressor, remove the plug from the outlet, and bleed all
pressure from the system before servicing the compressor, and when the compressor is not in use. Do not use
the unit with the shrouds or belt guard removed. Serious injury could occur from contact with moving parts. Stay
alert and watch what you are doing when operating the compressor. Do not use the compressor while tired or
under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Check the manufacturer'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. Relieve all pressure through
the hose before attaching or removing accessories. Never use compressor to inflate small low pressure objects
such as children's toys, footballs, basketballs, etc.
High temperatures are generated by the pump and manifold. To prevent burns or other injuries, DO NOT touch
the pump, manifold or transfer tube while the pump is running. Allow them to cool before handling or servicing.
Keep children away from the compressor at all times. Do not reach around protective shrouds or attempt to
maintenance until unit has been allowed to cool.
Always wear MSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator and work in a well
ventilated area when using tools that generate dust. Some dust created by power sanding, grinding, drilling
and other construction activities contains chemicals known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products
• arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Be certain to read all labels when you are spraying paints or toxic materials, and follow the safety instructions
provided on the lable or safety sheets for the materials you are spraying. Use a MSHA/NIOSH approved
respirator mask if there is a chance of inhaling anything you are spraying. Read all instructions and be sure that
your respirator mask will protect you. Work in an area with good cross ventilation.
