well-ventilated. Do not smoke while spraying
or spray where spark or flame is present.
Arcing parts - keep compressor at least
20 feet away from explosive vapors, such
as when spraying with a spray gun.
2. Risk of bursting - do not adjust regulator higher
than marked maximum pressure of attachment.
3. Risk of injury - do not direct air
stream at people or animals.
4. Do not use to supply breathing air.
5. Do not leave compressor unattended for an
extended period while powered. Disconnect

6. Keep compressor well-ventilated.
Do not cover compressor during use.
7. Do not remove the valve cover or
adjust internal components.
8. Do not use the air hose to move the compressor.
9. The use of accessories or attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer may
result in a risk of injury to persons.
10. All air line components, including hoses,
pipe, connectors, filters, etc., must be
rated for a minimum working pressure of
150 PSI, or 150% of the maximum system
pressure, whichever is greater.

12. This product is not a toy.
Keep it out of reach of children.
13. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and
heavy-duty work gloves during use.
14. Do not expose to rain or wet conditions.
15. People with pacemakers should consult their
physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in
close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.
16. Do not leave the tool unattended when the
Battery Pack is connected. Turn off the tool,
and remove the Battery Pack before leaving.
17. The battery Charger gets hot during
use. The Charger's heat can build up to
unsafe levels and create a fire hazard if
it does not receive adequate ventilation,
due to an electrical fault, or if it is used in a
hot environment.
Do not place the Charger on a flammable surface.
Do not obstruct any vents on the Charger.
Especially avoid placing the charger on carpets
and rugs; they are not only flammable, but they
also obstruct vents under the charger.
Place the Charger on a stable, solid, nonflammable
surface (such as a stable metal workbench or
concrete floor) at least 1 foot away from all
flammable objects, such as drapes or walls. Keep a
fire extinguisher and a smoke detector in the area.
Frequently monitor the Charger and
Battery Pack while charging.
18. The warnings, precautions, and instructions
discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all
possible conditions and situations that may occur.
It must be understood by the operator that
common sense and caution are factors
which cannot be built into this product,
but must be supplied by the operator.
