CAUTION: RISK OF BURSTING. Use only suitable air handling parts acceptable for
pressure of not less than the maximum allowable working pressure of the machine.
DANGER: RISK TO BREATHING. The compressed air from your compressor is not
safe for breathing. The air stream may contain carbon monoxide, toxic vapors or other
contaminants. Never inhale air from the compressor either directly or from a breathing
device connected to the compressor.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
· Keep work area clean, free of clutter and well lit. Cluttered and dark work areas can
cause accidents.
· Do not use your compressor where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion;
e.g. in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses, or dust.
· Keep children and bystanders away while operating a compressor. Distractions can
cause you to lose control, so visitors should remain at a safe distance from the work area.
· Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes and other mechanical
hazards in your work area, particularly those hazards below the work surface hidden from
the operator's view that may be unintentionally contacted and may cause personal harm or
property damage.
· Be alert of your surroundings. Using compressors in confined work areas may put you
dangerously close to cutting tools and rotating parts.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING: Unqualified use and improve maintenance of this mini air compressor
could result in serious personal injury. The following safety instructions should be operated
to avoid any risk! Please read all of these instructions carefully and follow them.
WARNING! Always check to ensure the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the
rating plate.
· Do not abuse the cord. Never carry a compressor by its power cord, or yank cord or
extension cord from the receptacle. Keep power and extension cords away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords may
cause a fire and increase the risk of electric shock.
· Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the
plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in
doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
· Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still doesn't fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a
polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
· Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerators. There is an increase risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
· When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked " W-A" or
" W." These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
· Extension Cord Use.
A. Use only 'Listed' extension cords. If used outdoors, they must be marked " For Outdoor
Use." Those cords having 3-prong grounding type plugs and mating receptacles are to be
used with grounded tools.
B. Replace damaged or worn cords immediately.
C. Check the name plate rating of your tool. Use of improper size or gauge of extension cord
may cause unsafe or inefficient operation of your tool. Be sure your extension cord is rated
to allow sufficient current flow to the motor. For the proper wire gauge for your tool, see
chart.
