SPECIFIC OPERATION WARNINGS

• Repairs attempted by unqualified personnel can result in serious injury or death by electrocution. Any
electrical wiring or repairs required on this product should be performed by authorized service center
personnel in accordance with national and local electrical codes.
• Failure to provide adequate grounding to this product could result in serious injury or death from
electrocution. Refer to Grounding Instructions paragraph in the Installation section. Make certain that
the electrical circuit to which the compressor is connected provides proper electrical grounding, correct
voltage and adequate fuse protection.
• Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
Always wear certified safety equipment: ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection.
• Exceeding the pressure rating of air tools, spray guns, air operated accessories, tires and other
inflatables can cause them to explode or fly apart and could result in serious injury. Follow the
equipment manufacturer's recommendation and never exceed the maximum allowable pressure rating
of attachments.
• Drain air tank daily or after each use. If air tank develops a leak, replace it immediately with a new air
tank or replace the entire compressor.
• DO NOT use air tools that are rated below the maximum rating of the compressor. Select air tools, air
hoses, pipes, valves, filters and other fittings accordingly. DO NOT exceed manufacturer's rated safe
operating pressures for these items.
• Make sure all hose connections are adequately secured to prevent tools or hose ends from being
accidentally disconnected.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or key that is left attached to a
moving part of the tool may result in personal injury.
• Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark work areas invite accidents.
• Keep children away.
All children should be kept away from the work area. Never let a child handle a tool without strict adult
supervision.
• Store idle tools out of the reach of children and untrained persons.
Tools may be dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Do not operate any tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Read warning labels on prescriptions to determine if your judgment or reflexes are impaired while taking
drugs. If there is any doubt, do not attempt to operate.
• Do not force tool.
Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
• Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Check for damage. Check your tool regularly. If part of the tool is damaged it should be carefully
inspected to make sure that it can perform its' intended function correctly. If in doubt, the part should be
repaired. Refer all servicing to a qualified technician. Consult your dealer for advice.
• Maintain tools with care.
Keep tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges, are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
