IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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
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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Save these instructions
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.
HAZARD
WARNING: Risk of explosion or fire
How To Prevent It
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.
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
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
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.
How To Prevent It
What Could Happen
WARNING: Risk from Flying Objects
HOW TO PREVENT IT
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.
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.
HAZARD
HAZARD
Drain tank daily or after each use. If
tank develops a leak, replace it
immediately with a new tank or replace
the entire compressor.
1. Failure to properly drain
condensed 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.
Never drill into, weld, or make any
modifications to the tank or its
attachments.
4. Excessive vibration can weaken
the air tank and cause rupture or
explosion
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.
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.
