* Save all instructions
Improper operation or maintenance of this product could result in serious injury and/or property
damage. Read and understand all of the warnings and safety instructions provided before using this
equipment.
Risk of Moving Parts
Risk of Burns
Risk of Falling
Risk from Fl_Objects
The air compressor should be operated on a dedicated 15 amp circuit. If
the circuit does not have 15 free amps available, a larger circuit must be
used. Always use more air hose before utilizing extension cords. All exten-
sion cords used must be 12 gauge with a maximum length of 25 ft. The
circuit fuse type must be a time delay. Low voltage could cause damage to
the motor.
If the air compressor is in operation, all guards and covers should be
attached or installed correctly. If any guard or cover has been damaged,
do not operate the equipment until the proper personnel has correctly re-
paired the equipment. The power cord should be free of any moving parts,
twisting and/or crimping while in use and while instorage.
There are surfaces on your air compressor that while in operation and
thereafter can cause serious burns if touched. The equipment should be
allowed time to cool before any maintenance is attempted. Items such as
the compressor pump and the outlet tube are normally hot during and after
operation.
Operation of the air compressor should always be in a position that is
stable. Never use the air compressor on a rooftop or elevated position that
could allow the unit to fall or be tipped over. Use additional air hose for
elevated jobs.
Always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety glasses with side shields when
the air compressor is in use. Turn off the air compressor and drain the air
tank before performing any type of maintenance or disassembly of the
hoses or fittings. Never point any nozzle or sprayer toward any part of the
body or at other people or animals.

Important Safety Instructions & Guidelines
Risk to Breathing
Risk of Electrical Shock
Risk of
Explosion or Fire
Risk of Bursting
Avoid using the air compressor in confined areas. Always have adequate
space (12 inches) on all sides of the air compressor. Also keep children,
pets, and others out of the area of operation. This air compressor does
not provide breathable air for anyone or any auxiliary breathing device.
Spraying material will always need to be in another area away from the air
compressor to not allow intake air to damage the air compressor filter.
Never utilize the air compressor in the rain or wet conditions. Any electrical
issues or repairs should be performed by authorized personnel such as an
electrician and should comply with all national and local electrical codes.
The air compressor should also have the proper three prong grounding
plug, correct voltage, and adequate fuse protection.
Never operate the compressor near combustible materials, gasoline or
solvent vapors. If spraying flammable materials, locate the air compressor
at least 20 feet away from the spray area. Never operate the air compres-
sor indoors or in a confined area.
Always drain the air compressor tank daily or after each use. If the tank
develops a leak, then replace the air compressor. Never use the air com-
pressor after a leak has been found or try to make any modifications to the
tank. Never modify the air compressor's factory settings which control the
tank pressure or any other function.

ramienta, hable con un electricista o agente de servicio calificado. No modifique la clavija que viene
con el equipo; si no puede enchufarla en el tomacorriente, Ilame a un electricista calificado para que
le instale el tomacorriente adecuado.
Este producto est& disefiado para trabajar en un circuito con un voltaje nominal de 120 voltios y
est& equipado con un cable y clavija que permiten su conexi6n a un circuito electrico apropiado.
AsegQrese de que el producto este conectado a un tomacorriente con la misma configuraci6n que la
clavija. No se debe usar un adaptador con este equipo. Si se debe conectar el equipo a un circuito
electrico de diferente tipo, consiga la ayuda de personal calificado para realizar la reconexi6n.
Cables de extensi6n
S61o utilice un cable de extensi6n de tres alambres con una clavija con extensi6n a tierra de tres
terminales que pueda enchufarse en un tomacorriente de tres orificios. AsegQrese de que su cable
de extensi6n este en buenas condiciones. Si utiliza un cable de extensi6n, compruebe que sea de la
capacidad de corriente que requiere su equipo. Las extensiones no deben ser de m&s de 25 pies (7.6
m) de largo y deben tener cable de calibre 12 AWG. Un cable m&s delgado provocar_, una caida en
