If youtouchthem, you
may be seriously burned.
It is normal for the motor and pressure switch to spark
when compressor starts or stops. A spark can ignite
vapors from gasoline or solvents, causing a fire or
explosion.
Modifications to air compressor components in an
attempt to reach higher air pressure can cause the air
tank to rupture or explode.
Incomparability between tank and compressor will
cause the tank to rupture.
Modifications to the air tank will cause it to weaken.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Avoid contact with metal components of the compressor
during or immediately after operation. Reaching under or
removing portions of the plastic enclosures such as the
console cover exposes hot surfaces. Allowcompressorto
cool prior to servicing.
If spraying a flammable material, provide ample ven-
tilation. Never spray in a closed area. There must be
a flow of fresh air at all times.
Always operate the air compressor in well-ventilated
areas, free of gasoline or other solvent vapors. Do not
operate the compressor near the spray area.
Do not adjust, remove or tamper with the safety valve
or pressure switch. If safety valve or pressure switch
replacement is necessary, a part with the same ratings
must be used.
Never replace the air tank with a different model or a
larger tank. Return to Authorized Service Center if
replacement is required.
Never drill into weld or in anyway modify theair tank.
The tank may rupture or explode. If leaks deve op due
to corrosion or tank is damaged, return to Authorized
Service Center for replacement.
