Craftsman CMXECXA0200141A Instruction Manual page 4

What can happen
Failure to properly drain condensed
water from air tank, causing rust
and thinning of the steel air tank.
Modifications or attempted repairs
to the air tank.
Unauthorized modifications to
the safety valve or any other
components which control air
tank pressure.
Attachments & accessories:
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.
Tires:
Over inflation of tires could
result in serious injury and
property damage.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
What can happen
Your air compressor is powered
by electricity. Like any other
electrically powered device, If it
is not used properly it may cause
electric shock.
Repairs attempted by unqualified
personnel can result in serious
injury or death by electrocution.
How to prevent it
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.
Never drill into, weld, or make
any modifications to the air tank
or its attachments. Never attempt
to repair a damaged or leaking air
tank. Replace with a new air tank.
The air tank is designed to
withstand specific operating
pressures. Never make adjustments
or parts substitutions to alter the
factory set operating pressures.
Follow the equipment
manufacturers recommendation
and never exceed the maximum
allowable pressure rating of
attachments. Never use compressor
to inflate small low pressure
objects such as children's toys,
footballs, basketballs, etc.
Use a tire pressure gauge to check
the tires pressure before each
use and while inflating tires; see
the tire sidewall for the correct
tire pressure.
NOTE: Air tanks, compressors and
similar equipment used to inflate
tires can fill small tires similar to
these very rapidly. Adjust pressure
regulator on air supply to no more
than the rating of the tire pressure.
Add air in small increments and
frequently use the tire gauge to
prevent over inflation.
How to prevent it
Never operate the compressor
outdoors when it is raining or in
wet conditions.
Never operate compressor with
protective covers removed
or damaged.
Any repairs required on this
product should be performed
by authorized service
center personnel.
Electrical Grounding: Failure
to provide adequate grounding to
this product could result in serious
injury or death from electrocution.
See Grounding Instructions
under Installation.
WARNING: RISK FROM FLYING OBJECTS
What can happen
The compressed air stream can
cause soft tissue damage to
exposed skin and can propel
dirt, chips, loose particles, and
small objects at high speed,
resulting in property damage or
personal injury.
WARNING: RISK OF HOT SURFACES
What can happen
Touching exposed metal such as
the compressor head, engine head,
engine exhaust or outlet tubes, can
result in serious burns.
WARNING: RISK OF INJURY FROM LIFTING
What can happen
Serious injury can result from
attempting to lift too heavy
an object.
WARNING: RISK FROM MOVING PARTS
What can happen
Moving parts such as the pulley,
flywheel, and belt can cause
serious injury if they come into
contact with you or your clothing.
ENGLISH
Make certain that the electrical
circuit to which the compressor
is connected provides proper
electrical grounding, correct
voltage and adequate
fuse protection.
How to prevent it
Always wear certified safety
equipment: ANSI Z87.1 eye
protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3)
with side shields when using
the compressor.
Never point any nozzle or sprayer
toward any part of the body or at
other people or animals.
Always turn the compressor off and
bleed pressure from the air hose
and air tank before attempting
maintenance, attaching tools
or accessories.
How to prevent it
Never touch any exposed metal
parts on compressor during or
immediately after operation.
Compressor will remain hot for
several minutes after operation.
Do not reach around protective
shrouds or attempt maintenance
until unit has been allowed to cool.
How to prevent it
The compressor is too heavy
to be lifted by one person.
Obtain assistance from others
before lifting.
How to prevent it
Never operate the compressor
with guards or covers which are
damaged or removed
Keep your hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
Air vents may cover moving parts
and should be avoided as well.
