This manual contains information that is important for you to know and
understand. This information relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and
PREVENTING EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. To help you recognize this
information, we use the symbols below. Please read the manual and pay
attention to these symbols.
_'_ Indicat es an
imminently hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury.
i_'_J_'_'_ Indicates a
potentially
hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
_1'_llndicates a
potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided,
result in minor or moderate injury.
_'_Used without the
safety alert symbol

_J_=_ 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/NIOSR 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.

WARNING: Risk of explosion or fire
What Could 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 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
materials, gasoline, or solvent 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.
Always 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 Could Happen
Failure to properly drain condensed
water from tank, causing rust and
thinning of the steel tank.
Modifications or attempted repairs to
the tank.
Unauthorized modifications to the
unloader 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.
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
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, footballs,
basketballs, etc.
WARNING: Risk from Flying Objects
What Could 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, resulting 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
to0_s or accessories,

WARNING: Risk of Breathing
What Could 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
particles from the tank. Breathing these
contaminants 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
_roduced 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.
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 NIOSH/MSHA
approved respirator designed for use with
your specific application.

CFM: Cubic feet per minute.
SCFM: Standard cubic feet per
minute; aunit 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: 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.
