2. SAFETY GUIDELINES

DANGER-AN IMMEDIATE HAZARD THAT WILL CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.
1. TO REDUCE THE 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.
2. The solvents Trichloroethane and Methylene Chloride can chemically react with aluminium used in paint spray guns,
paint pumps, etc, and cause an explosion. If you are using these solvents, use only stainless steel spray equipment.
This does not affect your air compressor, but may affect the equipment being used.
3. Never directly inhale the compressed air produced by a compressor. It is not suitable for breathing purposes.
WARNING A POTENTIAL HAZARD THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.
l. Do not weld on the air tank of this compressor. Welding on the air compressor tank can provoke and cause an extremely
hazardous condition. Welding on the tank in any manner will void the warranty.
2. Never use an electric air compressor outdoors when it is raining or on a wet surface, as it may cause an electric shock.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. High temperatures and moving parts are present under the shroud. To prevent burns or other injuries, DO NOT operate
with the shroud removed. Allow the compressor parts to cool before handling or servicing.
