type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, always wear
OSHA/MSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator
when using such tools.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HAZARD
RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE
WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
• It is normal for electrical contacts
within the motor and pressure
switch to spark.
• Always operate the compressor in a
well ventilated area free of combus-
tible materials, gasoline, or solvent
vapors.
• If electrical sparks from compressor
come into contact with flammable
vapors, they may ignite, causing fire
or explosion.
• If spraying flammable materials,
locate compressor at least 20 feet
(6.1 m) away from spray area. An
additional length of air hose may be
required.
• Store flammable materials in a
secure location away from com-
pressor.
• Restricting any of the compressor
ventilation openings will cause seri-
ous overheating and could cause
fire.
• Never place objects against or on
top of compressor.
• Operate compressor in an open
area at least 12" (304.8 mm) away
from any wall or obstruction that
would restrict the flow of fresh air to
the ventilation openings.
• Operate compressor in a clean, dry
well ventilated area. Do not operate
unit indoors or in any confined area.
• Unattended operation of
this product could result in per-
sonal injury or property damage. To
reduce the risk of fire, do not allow
the compressor to operate unat-
tended.

HAZARD
RISK TO BREATHING (ASPHYXIATION)
WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
• The compressed air directly from
your compressor is not safe for
breathing. The air stream may con-
tain carbon monoxide, toxic vapors,
or solid particles from the air tank.
Breathing these contaminant's can
cause serious injury or death.
• Air obtained directly from the com-
pressor 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.
• Sprayed materials such as paint,
paint solvents, paint remover, insec-
ticides, weed killers, may contain
harmful vapors and poisons.
• 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. Always
use certified safety equipment:
OSHA/MSHA/NIOSH respiratory
protection designed for use with
your specific application.
HAZARD
RISK OF BURSTING
Air Tank: The air tank on your Air Compressor is designed and may be UM coded
(for units with air tanks greater than 6 inch diameter) according to ASME Section VIII,
Div. 1 rules. All pressure vessels should be inspected once every two years. To find
your state pressure vessels inspector, look under the Division of Labor and Industries
in the government section of a phone book .
The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank, and result in a
violent air tank explosion:
WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Failure to properly drain condensed
water from air tank, causing rust
and thinning of the steel air tank.
• Drain air tank daily or after each
use. If air tank develops a leak,
replace it immediately with a new air
tank or replace the entire compres-
sor.
• Modifications or attempted repairs
to the air tank. • Never drill into, weld, or make any modifications to the air tank or its
attachments. Never attempt to
repair a damaged or leaking air
tank. Replace with a new air tank.
