WARNING: Risk from Flying Objects
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The compressed air stream can cause
soft tissue damage to exposed skin and
can propel dirt, chips, loose particles,
and small objects at high speed, result-
ing in property damage or personal injury.
WARNING: Risk to Breathing
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Breathing exhaust fumes from engines
will cause serious injury or death.
The compressed air directly from your
compressor is not safe for breathing.
The air stream may contain carbon
monoxide, toxic vapors, or solid parti-
cles from the tank. Breathing these cont-
aminant's can cause serious injury or
death.
Sprayed materials such as paint, paint
solvents, paint remover, insecticides,
weed killers, may contain harmful vapors
and poisons.
HAZARD
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety
glasses with side shields when using the
compressor.
Never point any nozzle or sprayer
toward any part of the body or at other
people or animals.
Always turn the compressor off and
bleed pressure from the air hose and tank
before attempting maintenance, attaching
tools or accessories.
HAZARD
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Always operate air compressor outside
in a clean, well ventilated area. Avoid
enclosed areas such as garages, base-
ments, storage sheds, which lack a steady
exchange or air. Keep children, pets and
others away from area of operation.
Air obtained directly from the compressor
should never be used to supply air for
human consumption. In order to use air
produced by this compressor for breath-
ing, suitable filters and in-line safety
equipment must be properly installed.
In-line filters and safety equipment used
in conjunction with the compressor must
be capable of treating air to all applica-
ble local and federal codes prior to
human consumption.
Work in an area with good cross venti-
lation. Read and follow the safety
instructions provided on the label or
safety data sheets for the materials you
are spraying. Use a NIOSH/ MSHA
approved respirator designed for use
with your specific application.
