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 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 MSNA/NIOSN approved, properly fitting
face mask or respirator when using such tools.
When using air tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the
risk of personal injury.

WARNING: Risk of e×plosion or fire
What Could Happen
It is normal for emectricaR contacts
within the motor and pressure switch to
spark.
If electrical sparks from compressor
come into contact with flammable
vapors, they may ignite, causing fire or
explosion.
Restricting any of the compressor
ventilation openings will cause serious
overheating and could cause fire.
Unattended operation of this product
could result in personal injury or
property damage. To reduce the risk
of fire, do not allow the compressor to
operate unattended.
How To Prevent it
Always operate the compressor in a
well ventilated area free of combustible
materiams, gasoline, or soBvent vapors.
if spraying flammable materials, locate
compressor at least 20 feet away from
spray area. An additional length of hose
may be required.
Store flammable materials in a secure
location away from compressor.
Never place objects against or on top
of compressor. Operate compressor
in an open area at least 12 inches
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.
Amways remain in attendance with the
)roduct when it is operating.
Always disconnect electrical power by
moving pressure switch lever to the off
;osition and drain tank daily or after
each use.

WARNING: Risk of Bursting
Air Tank: The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the tank, and result
in a violent tank explosion and could cause property damage or serious injury.
What Coumd Nal2pen
Failure to properly drain condensed
water from tank, causing rust and
thinning of the steer tank.
Modifications or attempted repairs to
the tank.
Unauthorized modifications to the
unRoader valve, safety vaBve, or any
other components which controm tank
. pressure.
Excessive vibration can weaken the
air tank and cause rupture or
expBosion
ATTACHMENTS & ACCESSORIESr
Exceeding the pressure rating of
air tooms, spray guns, air operated
accessories, tires, and other inflatables
can cause them to explode or fly apart,
and could result in serious injury.
How To Prevent It
Drain tank dally or after each use.
If tank develops a leak, replace it
immediately with a new tank or replace
the entire compressor.
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 aBter the factory set operating
pressures,
For essential control of air pressure,
you must install a pressure regulator
and pressure gauge to the air outmet
{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 Coumd Happen How To Prevent It
The compressed air stream can cause
soft tissue damage to exposed skin
and can propel dirt, chips, Boose
particles, and small objects at high
speed, resulting in property damage or
personal injury.
Always wear ANSi Z87.1 approved safety
glasses with side shieMs when using the
compressor

solvents, paint remover, insecticides,
weed killers, may contain harmful
vapors and poisons.
Now To Prevent It
Air obtained directly from the compressor
should never be used to supply air for
human consumption. In order to use air
_roduced by this compressor for breathing,
suitable filters and in-line safety'
equipment must be property installed.
In-line filters and safety equipment
used in conjunction with the compressor
must be capable of treating air to aH
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 NIOSN/MSNA
approved respirator designed for use with
your specific application.

Become familiar with these terms
before operating the unit.
CFM: Cubic feet per minute.
SOFM: 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 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: C+rcuit carrying
electricity from electrical panel to
outlet.
This unit is capable of powering the following Accessories. The accessories are
available through the current Power and Hand Tool Catalog or full-line Sears
stores.
Accessories
® In Line Filter
+ Tire Air Chuck
+ Quick Connector Sets (various
sizes)
® Air Pressure Regulators
® Oil Fog Lubricators
® Air Hose: 1/4", 3/8" or 1/2" LD. in
various lengths
Refer to the selection chart located
on the unit to select the tools this unit
is capable of powering.
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.
