Specific Safety Instructions - King Canada 8491 Instruction Manual

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1) TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, user must read and understand instruction manual before using this air compressor.
2) WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WHICH COMPLY WITH ANSI Z87.1. Do not direct air stream at body. Do not use compressed air for
breathing. Do not carry while painting.
3) TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN. Store indoors.
4) RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION: Do not spray flammable liquids in a confined area. Spray area must be well ventilated. Do not smoke
while spraying or spray where spark or flame is present. Keep compressor far from spraying area as possible. Keep compressor at least
15 feet away from spraying area and all explosive vapors.
5) RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Hazadous voltage: disconnect from power source before servicing. Compressor must be properly
grounded.
6) RISK OF BURSTING: Do not adjust regulator to result in output pressure greater than the marked maximum operating pressure.
7) DO NOT USE AT PRESSURE GREATER THAN 150 PSI. If connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use time-delay fuses. This
equipment incorporates parts such as snap switches, receptacles and the like that tend to produce sparks and, therefore when located
in a garage, it should be in a room or enclosure provided for the purpose, or should be 18" (45.7cm) or more above the floor.
8) Drain the water inside air tank frequently using the drain cock.
RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
It is normal for electrical contacts within the motor
and pressure switch to spark.
If electrical sparks from the compressor come in
contact with flammable vapors, they may ignite,
causing fire or explosion.
Restricting any of the compressor ventilation
openings will cause serious overheating and
could cause fire.
Unattended operation of this compressor could
result in personal injury or property damage.
RISK OF BURSTING
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
1. Failure to properly drain condensed water from
the tank, causing rust and thinning of the steel
tank.
2. Modifications or attempted repairs to the tank.
3. Unauthorized modifications to the unloader
valve, safety valve or any other components
which control tank pressure.
4. Excessive vibration can weaken the air tank
and cause rupture or explosion.
Attachments & Accessories; Exceeding the
operating pressure of air tools can cause them to
explode.
RISK OF BURNS
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Touching exposed metal such as the compressor
head or outlet tubes, can result in serious burns.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Always operate the compressor in a well ventilated area free of combustible
materials, gasoline or solvent vapors. If spraying flammable materials, locate
the compressor at least 15 feet away from the spray area. An additional length
of hose may be required.
Store flammable materials in a secure location away from the compressor.
Never place objects against or on top of the compressor. Operate compressor
in an open area at least 12 inches away from any wall or obstruction that
would restrict the flow or fresh air to the ventilation openings.
Operate compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area. Do not operate
compressor indoors in a confined area.
Always remain in attendance with the compressor when it is operating.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Drain tank daily or after every use. If the tank developes a leak, replace tank
or get a new air compressor. Never drill into, weld or make any modifications
to the tank or its attachments.
The tank is designed to withstand specific operating pressures. Never make
adjustments or parts substitutions to alter the factory set operating pressures.
For essential control of air pressure, you must install a pressure regulator and
pressure gauge to the air outlet.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Never touch any exposed metal parts on compressor during or immediately
after operation. The compressor will remain hot several minutes after use.
Do not reach around protective shrouds or attempt maintenance until the
compressor has cooled down completely.
