Important Safety
Instructions
RISK OF EXPLOSION OR
FIRE:
It is normal for electrical
contacts within the motor and
pressure switch to spark.
Always operate the
compressor in a well
ventilated area free of
combustible materials such
as gasoline and solvent
vapors. If spraying flammable
materials, place the
compressor at least 20 feet
away from the spray area (an
additional length of hose may
be required).
If electrical sparks from the
compressor come in contact
with flammable vapors, they
may ignite, causing fire or
explosion. Covering any of
the compressor ventilation
openings will cause serious
overheating and possibly fire.
