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 repro-
ductive 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 venti-
lated area, and work with approved safety equipment, always wear
MSHA/NIOSH 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.

_t Save these instructions _O
Improper operation or maintenance of this product could result in serious injury and
property damage. Read and understand all warnings and operation instructions before
using this equipment.
What Could Happen
it is normal for electrical contacts within
the motor and pressure switch to spark.
WARNING: Risk of explosion or fire
How To Prevent it
Always operate the compressor in a well
ventilated area free of combustible
materials, gasoline, or solvent vapors.
if electrical sparks from compressor
come into contact with flammable
vapors, they may ignite, causing fire or
explosion.
Restricting any of the compressor venti-
lation openings will cause serious over-
heating and could cause fire.
Unattended operation of this product
could result in personal injury or prop-
erty damage. To reduce the risk of fire,
do not allow the compressor to operate
unattended.
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 ventila-
tion 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 disconnect electrical power by
moving pressure switch lever to the off
position and drain tank daily or after
each use.

WARNING: Risk of Bursting I_1
Air Tank: The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the tank, and result
in aviolent tank explosion and could cause property damage or serious injury.
1.
What Could Happen
Failure to properly drain con-
densed water from tank, causing
rust and thinning of the steel tank.
2. Modifications or attempted repairs
to the tank.
3. Unauthorized modifications to the
unloader valve, safety valve, or any
other components which control
tank pressure.
4. 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 acces-
sories, tires, and other inflatables can
cause them to explode or fly apart, and
could result in serious injury.
How To Prevent it
Drain tank daily or after each use. If
tank develops a leak, replace it immedi-
ately with a new tank or replace the entire
compressor.
Never drill into, weld, or make any modF
fications to the tank or its attachments.
The tank is designed to withstand specific
operating pressures. Never make adjust-
merits 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 recommenda-
tion 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 ._a
WHAT CAN 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, result-
ing in property damage or personal injury.
Always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety
glasses with side shields when using the
compressor.
Never point any nozzle or sprayer
toward any part of the body or at other
people or animals.
Always turn the compressor off and
bleed pressure from the air hose and tank
before attempting maintenance, attaching
tools or accessories.

Repairs attempted by unqualified per=
sonnel 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.
Any electrical wiring or repairs required
on this product should be performed by
authorized service center personnel in
accordance with national and local electri-
cal codes.
Make certain that the electrical circuit
to which the compressor is connected
provides proper electrical grounding,
correct voltage and adequate fuse pro=
tection.
WARNING: Risk to Breathing
WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
The compressed air directly from your
compressor is not safe for breathing.
The air stream may contain carbon
monoxide, toxic vapors, or solid partF
cles from the tank. Breathing these con=
taminants can cause serious injury or
death.
Sprayed materials such as paint, paint
solvents, paint remover, insecticides,
weed killers, may contain harmful vapors
and poisons.
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 breath-
ing, 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 aH applica-
ble local and federal codes prior to
human consumption.
Work in an area with good cross ventF
lation. 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.

Become familiar with these terms
before operating the unit.
CFM: Cubic feet per minute.
SCFM: Standard cubic feet per
minute; a unit of measure of air deliv-
ery.
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 auto-
matically 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.
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:l/4", 3/8" or 1/2" inside
diameter in various lengths
Refer to the selection chart located
on the unit to select the tools this unit
is capable of powering.
This air compressors should be oper-
ated on not more than a 50% duty
cycle. This means an air compressor
that pumps air more than 50% of one
hour is considered misuse, because
the air compressor is undersized for
the required air demand. Maximum
compressor pumping time per hour is
30 minutes for a 50% duty cycle.
