CAUTION
If connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use time-delay
fuses with this product.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to rain.
Store indoors.
Inspect the tank yearly for rust, pin holes, or other
imperfections that could cause it to become unsafe. Never
weld or drill holes in the air tank.
Make sure the hose is free of obstructions or snags.
Entangled or snarled hoses can cause loss of balance or
footing and may become damaged.
Use the air compressor only for its intended use. Do
not alter or modify the unit from the original design or
function.
Always be aware that misuse and improper handling of
this tool can cause injury to yourself and others.
Never leave a tool unattended with the air hose attached.
Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a legible
warning label.
Do not continue to use a tool or hose that leaks air or
does not function properly.
Always disconnect the air supply and power supply before
making adjustments, servicing a tool, or when a tool is not in
use.
Do not attempt to pull or carry the air compressor by the
hose.
Your tool may require more air consumption than this air
compressor is capable of providing.
When a combustible liquid is sprayed there can be danger
of fire or explosion, especially in a closed area. Read
instruction manual before operating.
Arcing parts. Use spray gun hose at least 7.6 m long and
keep the compressor/motor at least 6 m away from explosive
vapours.
Always follow all safety rules recommended by the
manufacturer of your tool, in addition to all safety rules
for the air compressor. Following these rules will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
Never direct a jet of compressed air toward people or
animals. Take care not to blow dust and dirt towards
yourself or others. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
serious injury.
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation
is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious
personal injury.
Do not use this air compressor to spray chemicals. Your
lungs can be damaged by inhaling toxic fumes. A respirator
may be necessary in dusty environments or when spraying
paint. Do not carry while painting.
Inspect tool cords and hoses periodically and, if
damaged, have repaired at a qualified service center.
Constantly stay aware of cord location. Following this rule
will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
Never use an electrical adaptor with this grounded plug.
Check damaged parts. Before further use of the air
compressor or air tool, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to determine
that it will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or
other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by a qualified service center. Following this rule
will reduce the risk of shock, fire or serious injury.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw. A wire
gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an
extension cord 50 feet or less in length. A cord exceeding
100 feet is not recommended. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use
them to instruct others who may use this air compressor. If
you loan someone this tool, load them these instructions also.
