Portable Handheld Air Compressor
General Safety
7. Before each use, inspect compressed
air system and electrical components
for signs of damage, deterioration,
weakness or leakage. Repair or
replace defective items before using.
8. Check all fasteners at frequent
intervals for proper tightness.
WARNING
!
Motors, electrical
equipment and controls
can cause electrical arcs
that will ignite a flammable gas or
vapor. Never operate or repair in or
near a flammable gas or vapor. Never
store flammable liquids or gases in the
vicinity of the compressor.
CAUTION
!
Compressor parts may be
hot even if the unit is
stopped.
9. Keep fingers away from a running
compressor; fast moving and hot
parts will cause injury and/or burns.
10. If the equipment should start to
abnormally vibrate, switch unit OFF
and check immediately for the
cause. Vibration is generally a
warning of trouble.
11. To reduce fire hazard, keep motor
exterior free of oil, solvent, or
excessive grease.
12. Fast moving air will stir up dust and
debris which may be harmful.
Release air slowly when draining
moisture or depressurizing the
compressor system.
Any misuse of unit could
cause property or equipment
damage and/or personal
injury.
