Important Safety Instructions & Guidelines
Risk to Breathing
Risk of Electrical Shock
Risk of
Explosion or Fire
Risk of Bursting
Avoid using the air compressor in confined areas. Always have adequate
space (12 inches) on all sides of the air compressor. Also keep children,
pets, and others out of the area of operation. This air compressor does
not provide breathable air for anyone or any auxiliary breathing device.
Spraying material will always need to be in another area away from the air
compressor to not allow intake air to damage the air compressor filter.
Never utilize the air compressor in the rain or wet conditions. Any electrical
issues or repairs should be performed by authorized personnel such as an
electrician and should comply with all national and local electrical codes.
The air compressor should also have the proper three prong grounding
plug, correct voltage, and adequate fuse protection.
Never operate the compressor near combustible materials, gasoline or
solvent vapors. If spraying flammable materials, locate the air compressor
at least 20 feet away from the spray area. Never operate the air compres-
sor indoors or in a confined area.
Always drain the air compressor tank daily or after each use. If the tank
develops a leak, then replace the air compressor. Never use the air com-
pressor after a leak has been found or try to make any modifications to the
tank. Never modify the air compressor's factory settings which control the
tank pressure or any other function.
