chemicals known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some example of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints
•crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products
•arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do
this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in
a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, always
wear MSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator when
using such tools.

can cause them to explode or fly apart,
and could result in serious injury.
For essential control of air pressure, you
must install a pressure regulator and
pressure gauge to the air outlet (if not
equipped) of your compressor. Follow the
equipment manufacturers recommendation
and never exceed the maximum allowable
pressure rating of attachments. Never use
compressor to inflate small low
pressure objects such as children's
toys, footballs, basketballs, etc.
WARNING: Risk from Flying Objects
What Could Happen How To Prevent It
The compressed air stream can cause
soft tissue damage to exposed skin and
can propel dirt, chips, loose particles,
and small objects at high speed,
resulting in property damage or personal
injury.

WARNING: Risk of Electrical Shock
What Could Happen
Your air compressor is powered by
electricity. Like any other electrically
powered device, If it is not used
properly it may cause electric shock.
Repairs attempted by unqualified
personnel can result in serious injury
or death by electrocution.
Electrical Grounding: Failure to provide
adequate grounding to this product
could result in serious injury or death
from electrocution.
See grounding instructions.
How To Prevent It
Never operate the compressor outdoors
when it is raining or in wet conditions.
Never operate compressor with
protective covers removed or damaged.
Any electrical wiring or repairs required
on this product should be performed by
authorized service center personnel in
accordance with national and local
electrical codes.
Make certain that the electrical circuit
to which the compressor is connected
provides proper electrical grounding,
correct voltage and adequate fuse
protection.
WARNING: Risk to Breathing
What Could Happen
The compressed air directly from your
compressor is not safe for breathing.
The air stream may contain carbon
monoxide, toxic vapors, or solid
particles from the tank. Breathing these
contaminants can cause serious injury
or death.
Sprayed materials such as paint, paint
solvents, paint remover, insecticides,
weed killers, may contain harmful
vapors and poisons.
How To Prevent It
Air obtained directly from the compressor
should never be used to supply air for
human consumption. In order to use air
produced by this compressor for
breathing, suitable filters and in-line
safety equipment must be properly
installed. In-line filters and safety
equipment used in conjunction with the
compressor must be capable of treating
air to all applicable local and federal
codes prior to human consumption.
Work in an area with good cross
ventilation. Read and follow the safety
instructions provided on the label or
safety data sheets for the materials
you are spraying. Use a NIOSH/MSHA
approved respirator designed for use
with your specific application.

before operating the unit.
CFM: Cubic feet per minute.
SOFM: Standard cubic feet per
minute; a unit of measure of air
delivery.
PSIG: Pounds per square inch
gauge; a unit of measure of pressure.
Code Certification: Products that
bear one or more of the following
marks: UL, CUL, ETL, CETL, have
been evaluated by OSHA certified
independent safety laboratories and
meet the applicable Underwriters
Laboratories Standards for Safety.
Cut-In Pressure: While the motor
is off, air tank pressure drops as
you continue to use your accessory.
When the tank pressure drops to a
certain low level the motor will restart
automatically. The low pressure
at which the motor automatically
restarts is called "cut-in" pressure.
Cut-Out Pressure: When an air
compressor is turned on and begins
to run, air pressure in the air tank
begins to build. It builds to a certain
high pressure before the motor
automatically shuts off, protecting
your air tank from pressure higher
than its capacity. The high pressure
at which the motor shuts off is called
"cut-out" pressure.
Branch Circuit: Circuit carrying
electricity from electrical panel to
outlet.

HOW TO SET UP YOUR UNIT
Location of the Air Compressor
• Locate the air compressor in a
clean, dry and well ventilated
area.
• The air compressor should be
located at least 12" away from
the wall or other obstructions that
will interfere with the flow of air.
• The air compressor pump and
shroud are designed to allow for
proper cooling. The ventilation
openings on the compressor are
necessary to maintain proper
operating temperature. Do not
place rags or other containers on
or near these openings.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
_Risk of Electrical
Shock. In the
event of a short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of shock by
providing an escape wire for
the electric current. This air
compressor must be properly
grounded.
The portable air compressor is
equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with an appropriate
grounding plug (see following
illustrations).
1. The cord set and plug with this
unit contains a grounding pin.
This plug MUST be used with a
grounded outlet.
IMPORTANT: The outlet being used
must be installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
2. Make sure the outlet being used
has the same configuration as the
grounded plug. DO NOT USE AN
ADAPTER. See illustration.
3. Inspect the plug and cord before
each use. Do not use if there are
signs of damage.

4. If these grounding instructions
are not completely understood,
or if in doubt as to whether the
compressor is properly grounded,
have the installation checked by
a qualified electrician.

Electrical Shock.
IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN
RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Do not modify the plug provided. If
it does not fit the available outlet, a
correct outlet should be installed by
a qualified electrician.
Repairs to the cord set or plug
MUST be made by a qualified
electrician.
