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
OSNA/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 of personal injury.

HOW TO PREVENT iT
= • Always operate the compressor
in a well ventilated area free of
combustible materials, gasoline, or
solvent vapors.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
It is normal for electrical 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 dthis
product could result in personal
injury or property damage. To
reduce the risk dfire, do not
allow the compressor to operate
unattended.

Ifspraying 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
compresso_:
Never place objects against or on
top of compressor.
Operate compressor in an open
area at least 12" (30.5 cm) 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.
Always remain in attendance with
the product when it is operating.
Always turn off and unplug unit
when not in use.

__ RISK TO BREATHING (ASPHYXiATiON)
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.
• Sprayed materials such as paint, Work in an area with good cross
paint solvents, paint remover, ventilation. Read and follow the
insecticides, weed killers, may safety instructions provided on the

RiSKorBURSTING
WHAT CAN 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 air tank. Breathing these
contaminants can cause serious
injury or death.
Air Tank: The air tank on your Air Compressor is designed and may be UM coded
(for units with air tanks greater than 6" (152 mm) diameter) according to ASME
Section VIII, Div. 1 rules. All pressure vessels should be inspected once every two
years. Tofind your state pressure vessels inspector, look under the Division of Labor
and Industries inthe 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 • Drain air tank daily or after each
water from air tank, causing rust use. If air tank develops a leak,

attachments. Never attempt to
repair a damaged or leaking air
tank. Replace with a new air tank.

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.
Tires:
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.
Over inflation of tires could result in _ Use a tire pressure gauge to check
serious injury and property damage, the tires pressure before each use
and while inflating tires; see the tire
sidewall for the correct tire pressure.
NOTE: Air tanks, compressors and similar
equipment used to inflatetires can fill
small tires similar to these very rapidly.
Adjust pressure regulator on air supply
to no more than the rating of the tire
pressure. Add air in small increments and
frequently use the tire gauge to prevent
over inflation.
__ RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
WHAT CAN 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.
Refer to "Grounding Instructions"
paragraph in the "Installation"
section.
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 personnell 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.

damaged or removed.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
Air vents may cover moving parts
and should be avoided as well.

RISK FROM NOISE
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Under some conditions and
duration of use, noise from this
product may contribute to hearing

FOR FUTURE USE
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Always wear certified safety
equipment: ANSI $12.6 ($3.19)
hearing protection.
Become familiar with these terms
before operating the unit.
CFM: Cubic feet per minute.
SCFM: Standard cubic feet per min-
ute; 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 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 auto-
matically. The low pressure at which
the motor automatically restarts is
called "cut-in" pressure.
Cut-Out Pressure: When an air com-
pressor 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 automati-
cally 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 elec-
tricity from electrical panel to outlet.

HOW TO SET UP YOUR UNIT GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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" (30.5 cm)
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.
_Risk of Electrical
-- Shock. In the event
of ashort 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
