AIR COMPRESSOR
Dust or dust-like particulates caused by
power-sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling or any
other construction-like activities can contain
contaminants that are harmful to breathe.
Always use your air compressor in a well-ventilated
and clean area.
Never breathe the air that comes directly out of the
air compressor or air hose. This air is not suitable for
breathing.
Always wear approved safety equipment. When
performing dust-creating activities, securely wear
properly-fit face masks or respirators.
If you feel ill from breathing while operating your air
compressor, stop and seek medical attention
immediately.
WARNING
RISK TO BREATHING
Air compressor surfaces become hot during
operation.
DO NOT touch hot surfaces, because they can cause
severe burns.
Do not touch the air compressor’s cylinder head.
During operation, the cooling fins of the cylinder
head and delivery pipe become hot.
Allow the air compressor to cool before touching it.
DO NOT place a storage cover on the unit during
operation. Only place a cover on the air compressor
after it has thoroughly cooled down.
FIRE
HOT SURFACE
WARNING
Flying objects can cause injury to the eyes, head and
other parts of the body.
Air-powered equipment and power tools are capable
of propelling items (metal chips, fasteners and
particulates) at high speed into the air and could
result in injury.
Always wear approved head and eye protection.
Never point the air stream at any part of your body,
or at another person or animal.
When operating the air compressor, make sure all
other people and animals maintain a safe distance.
Do not move the air compressor when the air tank is
under pressure.
Never use the air hoses to pull or move the air
compressor.
Keep the air compressor on a flat surface.
WARNING
FLYING OBJECTS
Exercise caution when using pressurized air.
To prevent injury and for your general safety, only
use high-pressure hoses, fittings and couplings
designed for use with air compressors.
Inspect all hoses, fittings and couplings for leaks
and wear. When leaks and wear are detected, stop
use and replace those items immediately. Do not
repair.
Never leave pressurized air in the air tank when
performing maintenance.
Never leave the air compressor unattended with the
power supply in use and the air hose connected.
WARNING
EXPLOSION

AIR COMPRESSOR
Improper care could lead to the air tank bursting or
exploding.
Drain air tank daily or after each use to prevent
moisture buildup in the air tank.
Rust can weaken the air tank and cause leaks or
bursting. If rust is detected, replace tank
immediately. Do not try to repair the air tank by
welding, drilling or modifying it in any other way.
These modifications can weaken the air tank and
cause a hazardous condition.
If air tank develops a leak, replace the air tank
immediately. Never repair, weld or make
modifications to the air tank or its attachments.
Never make adjustments to the factory-set
pressures.
Never exceed manufacturer's maximum-allowable
pressure rating attachments.
Because of extreme heat, do not use plastic pipe or
lead tin solder joints for a discharge line.
WARNING
EXPLOSION
Use caution to minimize risk of fire or explosion.
It is normal for the air compressor motor and
pressure switch to produce sparks while operating. If
sparks come in contact with vapors from gasoline or
solvents, they may ignite and cause a fire or
explosion.
Abrasive tools such as grinders, drills and other
tools are capable of making sparks that can ignite
flammable materials.
Always operate the air compressor a safe distance
away from flammable items. Use in well-ventilated
areas.
Never exceed the maximum rated pressure.
FIRE
WARNING
EXPLOSION
Use caution when using extension cords.
Use an extension cord which is no more than
25 feet long and at least 14 gauge.
Using an excessively long or thin-wired extension
cord will cause severe damage to the motor.
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug.

areas.
Never exceed the maximum rated pressure.
FIRE
WARNING
EXPLOSION
Dust or dust-like particulates caused by
power-sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling or any
other construction-like activities can contain
contaminants that are harmful to breathe.
Always use your air compressor in a well-ventilated
and clean area.
Never breathe the air that comes directly out of the
air compressor or air hose. This air is not suitable for
breathing.
Always wear approved safety equipment. When
performing dust-creating activities, securely wear
properly-fit face masks or respirators.
If you feel ill from breathing while operating your air
compressor, stop and seek medical attention
immediately.
