Air compressors are utilized in a variety
of air system applications. Because air
compressors and other components
(material pump, spray gun, filters,
lubrications, hoses, etc.) used make up a
high pressure pumping system, the
following safety precautions should be
observed at all times. Only persons well
acquainted with these rules of safe
operation should be allowed to use the
air compressor.
All electrical work
WARNING
!
should be done by a
qualified (licensed or certified)
electrician. On a properly wired circuit,
the black wires supply a voltage
potential even when the unit is off.
1. Read instruction manuals for each
component carefully, before
attempting to assemble,
disassemble or operate your
particular system.
2. Do not exceed pressure rating of
any component in system.
3. Protect material lines and air lines
from damage or puncture. Keep
hose and power cable away from
sharp objects, chemical spills, oil,
solvents, and wet floors.
4. Never point a spray gun at oneself
or any other person. Accidental
discharge may result in serious
injury.
5. Check hoses for weak or worn
condition, before each use, making
certain all connections are secure;
do not use if deficiency is found.
