SAFETY OPERATION MAINTENANCEINSTALLATION
Specific Safety Warnings
1. Risk of fire or explosion - do not spray
flammable liquid in a confined area or towards a
hot surface. Spray area must be well-ventilated.
Do not smoke while spraying or spray where
spark or flame is present. Arcing parts - keep
compressor at least 20 feet away from explosive
vapors, such as when spraying with a spray gun.
2. Risk of bursting - do not adjust regulator higher
than marked maximum pressure of attachment.
3. Risk of injury - do not direct air
stream at people or animals.
4. Do not use to supply breathing air.
5. Do not spray near open flames, pilot lights,
stoves, heaters, the air compressor, or any
other heat source. Most solvents and coatings
are highly flammable, particularly when
sprayed. Maintain a distance of at least 25 feet
from the air compressor. If possible, locate
the air compressor in a separate room.
6. Read all of the information concerning
coating products and cleaning solvents.
Do not use chlorinated solvents
(e.g. 1-1-1 trichloroethylene and
dichloromethane, also known as
methylene chloride) to clean spray guns.
Many spray guns contain aluminum,
which reacts strongly to chlorinated solvents.
Contact the solvent or coating manufacturer as
needed regarding potential chemical reactions.
7. Spraying hazardous materials may result in serious
injury or death. Do not spray pesticide, acid,
corrosive material, fertilizer, or toxic chemicals.
8. Paints and solvents may be harmful or fatal if
swallowed or inhaled. Avoid prolonged skin
contact with solvents or paints as they will
irritate skin. After any contact, immediately
wash off exposed area with hot, soapy water.
9. Air hose fittings may get hot during use.
Allow fittings to cool before disconnecting.
10. Do not leave compressor unattended
for an extended period while plugged in.
Unplug compressor after working.
11. Keep compressor well-ventilated.
Do not cover compressor during use.
12. Drain Tank daily and after use. Internal rust causes
tank failure and explosion.
13. Do not remove the valve cover or
adjust internal components.
14. Compressor head gets hot during operation.
Do not touch it or allow children nearby
during or immediately following operation.
15. Do not use the air hose to move the compressor.
16. The use of accessories or attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer may
result in a risk of injury to persons.
17. All air line components, including hoses, pipe,
connectors, filters, etc., must be rated for a minimum
working pressure of 150 PSI, or 150% of the
maximum system pressure, whichever is greater.
18. USE OF AN EXTENSION CORD IS NOT
RECOMMENDED. If you choose to use an
extension cord, use the following guidelines:
TABLE A: RECOMMENDED MINIMUM WIRE
GAUGE FOR EXTENSION CORDS
(120 VOLT)
NAMEPLATE
AMPERES
(at full load)
EXTENSION CORD
LENGTH
25′ 50′ 10′ 150′
0 – 6 18 16 16 14
6.1 – 10 18 16 Do not use.
10.1 – 12 16 16 Do not use.
12.1 – 16 14 12 Do not use.
a. Make sure your extension cord
is in good condition.
b. Be sure to use an extension cord which
is heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss
of power and overheating. Table A shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
19. Maintain labels and nameplates on the
compressor. These carry important safety
information. If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
20. This product is not a toy.
Keep it out of reach of children.
21. People with pacemakers should consult their
physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in
close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.
