Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some exampme 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 Bumber
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 wen ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, always
wear MSNA/NIOSN approved, proper_y fitting face mask or respirator when
using such teems.
When using air teems, basic safety precautions shoumd always be followed
to reduce the risk of of personal injury.

thinning of the steeB tank. with a new tank or replace the entire
corn presser
Modifications or attempted repairs to
the tank.
Unauthorized modifications to the
unRoader valve, safety valve, or any
other components which control tank
pressure,
Excessive vibration can weaken the
air tank and cause rupture or
explosion
ATTACHMENTS &ACCESSORIES:
Exceeding the pressure rating of air
tools, spray guns, air operated
accessories, tires, and other inflatables
can cause them to explode or fly apart,
and could result in serious injury.
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 (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, footbaHs, basketbaHs, etc.

Ot=M: Cubic feet per minute.
Set=M: Standard cubic feet per
minute; a unit of measure of air
delivery.
PSlG: 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 Iow level the motor wilI 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.

This air compressor pump is
capable of running continuously.
However, to prolong the life of your
air compressor, it is recommended
that a 50%-75% average duty
cycle be maintained; that is, the air
compressor pump should not run
more than 30-45 minutes in any given
hour.
