_ RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• It is normal for electrical contacts
within the motor and pressure
switch to spark.
oIf 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
(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
compressor.
• 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.
Operate compressor in a clean, dry
well ventilated area. Do not operate
unit in any confined area. Store
indoors.
__ RISK TO BREATHING (ASPHYXIATION)
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.
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.
4- ENG

• • 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:

Sprayed materials such as paint,
paint solvents, paint remover,
insecticides, weed killers, may
contain harmful vapors and
poisons.
Air Tank: On February 26, 2002, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission published Release # 02-108 concerning air compressor tank
safety:
Air compressor receiver tanks do not have an infinite life. Tank life is
dependent upon several factors, some of which include operating conditions,
ambient conditions, proper installations, field modifications, and the level of
maintenance. The exact effect of these factors on air receiver life is difficult to
predict.
If proper maintenance procedures are not followed, internal corrosion to the
inner wall of the air receiver tank can cause the air tank to unexpectedly rupture
allowing pressurized air to suddenly and forcefully escape, posing risk of injury
to consumers.
Your compressor air tank must be removed from service by the end of the year
shown on your tank warning label.
The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank, and result in
a violent air tank 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. 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.

Tires:
* 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 inflate tires
can fill small tires 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
RiSKoFELECTRICALSHOCK
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 personnel 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.
__ iSK OF SERIOUS iNJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE
WHEN TRANSPORTING COMPRESSOR
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Oil can leak or spill and could
result in fire or breathing hazard;
serious injury or death can result.
oil leaks will damage carpet, paint
or other surfaces in vehicles or
trailers.
HOW TO PREVENT iT
Always place compressor
on a protective mat when
transporting to protect against
damage to vehicle from leaks.
Remove compressor from vehicle
immediately upon arrival at your
destination.

__ RiSK FROM FLYING OBJECTS
HOW TO PREVENT iT
= Always wear certified safety
equipment: ANSI Z87.1 eye
protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3)
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 air tank before attempting
maintenance, attaching tools or
accessories.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
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.
RISKOFHOTSURFACES
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Never touch any exposed metal
parts on compressor during or
immediately after operation.
Compressor will remain hot for
several minutes after operation.
Do not reach around protective
shrouds or attempt maintenance
until unit has been allowed to cool.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Touching exposed metal such as
the compressor head, engine head,
engine exhaust or outlet tubes, can
result in serious burns.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Moving parts such as the pulley,
flywheel, and belt can cause
serious injury if they come into
contact with you or your clothing.
Attempting to operate compressor
with damaged or missing parts or
attempting to repair compressor
with protective shrouds removed
can expose you to moving parts
and can result in serious injury.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Never operate the compressor
with guards or covers which are
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.
Any repairs required on this product
should be performed by authorized
service center personnel.

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.
