Specific Safety Instructions - Craftsman 107.16575 Owner's Manual

•
Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each use,
making certain all connections are secure. Do not use if
a defect is found. Purchase a new hose or take to a qualified
service center for examination and repair.
• Release the pressure within the system slowly. Dust and
debris may be harmful.
• Store idle tools out of the reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
• Maintain tools with care. Follow maintenance instructions.
Properly maintained tools are easier to control.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
• Never point any tool toward yourself or others.
• Keep the exterior of the air compressor dry, clean, and
free from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when
cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, or any strong solvents to clean the unit. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of deterioration of the enclosure
plastic.
SERVICE
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair
personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel may result in a risk of injury.
• Disconnect the power supply, open the drain valve to
decompress the tank and allow water to drain, and allow
the air compressor to become cool to the touch before
servicing. Turn the pressure regulator knob fully counter
clockwise after shutting off the compressor.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement
parts. See Parts List in this manual. Follow the
instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow the Maintenance
instructions may create a risk of injury.

Know your power tool. Read the operator's manual carefully. Learn its applications and limita-
tions, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which
can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power toot operation, always wear safety
goggles, safety glasses with side shields, or a full face shield when needed. We recommend
Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with side shields.
Always use eye protection which is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
Do not spray flammable liquid in a confined area. The spray area must be well ventilated. Do
not smoke while spraying or spray where sparks or a flame is present. Keep compressors as
far from the spraying area as possible, at least 15 feet from the spraying area and all explosive
vapors.
Do not adjust the regulator to result in output pressure greater than the marked maximum pres-
sure of the attachment. Do not use at a pressure greater than the rated maximum pressure of
this compressor.
Hazardous voltage: Disconnect from the power source before servicing. The compressor must
be grounded.
To reduce the risk of injury or damage, avoid contact with any hot surface.
Always wear ear protection when using this tool. Failure to do so may result in hearing loss.
Air obtained directly from the air compressor should never be used to supply air for human
consumption.
Drain the tank of moisture after each day's use. If the unit will not be used for a while, it is best
to leave the drain valve open until such time as it is to be used. This will allow moisture to com-
pletely drain out and help prevent corrosion on the inside of tank.
