SAFETY GUIDELINES

Please read this before operating the compressor. This information is provided for your
SAFETY and to PREVENT EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. Most accidents can be avoided by using
COMMON SENSE.
Do not wear loose clothing that may become entangled in the impeller or other moving parts.
WARNING
•
RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION. Never spray flammable liquids in a
confined area. It is normal for the motor and pressure switch to
produce sparks while operating. If sparks come into contact with
vapours from gasoline or other solvents, they may ignite, causing fire
or explosion. Always operate the compressor in a well-ventilated area.
Do not smoke while spraying. Do not spray where sparks or flame are
present. Keep compressor as far from spray area as possible.
•
RISK OF BURSTING. Do not weld, drill or modify the air tank of this
compressor. Welding or modifications on the air compressor tank can
severely impair tank strength and cause an extremely hazardous
condition. Welding or modifying the tank in any manner will void the
warranty.
•
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Never use an electric air compressor
outdoors when it is raining or on a wet surface, as it may cause an
electric shock.
•
RISK OF INJURY. This unit starts automatically. ALWAYS shut off the
compressor, remove the plug from the outlet, and bleed all pressure
from the system before servicing the compressor, and when the
compressor is not in use. Do not use the unit with the shrouds or
beltguard removed. Serious injury could occur from contact with
moving parts.
•
RISK OF BURSTING. Check the manufacturer's maximum pressure
rating for air tools and accessories. Compressor outlet pressure must
be regulated so as to never exceed the maximum pressure rating of
the tool. Relieve all pressure through the hose before attaching or
removing accessories.
