__ RiSK TO BREATHING (ASPHYXiATiON)
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 particles from the
air tank. Breathing these contami-
nants can cause serious injury or
death.
Air obtained directly from the com-
pressor 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 compres-
sor must be capable of treating air
to all applicable local and federal
codes prior to human consump-
tion.

Exposure to chemicals in dust cre-
ated by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other con-
struction activities may be harmful.
Sprayed materials such as paint,
paint solvents, paint remover, insec-
ticides, weed killers, may contain
harmful vapors and poisons.
2 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:
NIOSH/OSHA respiratory protec-
tion or properly fitting face mask
designed for use with your specific
application.
_I__ RISK OF BURSTING
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 con-
ditions, 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:
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
1 Failure to properly drain condensed
water from air tank, causing rust
and thinning of the steel air tank.
Modifications or attempted repairs
to the air tank.
Unauthorized modifications to
the safety valve or any other
components which control air tank
pressure.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Drain air tank daily or after each
use. If air tank develops a leak,
replace it immediately with a
new air tank or replace the entire
cornpressor.
Never drill into, weld, or make any
modifications to the air tank or its
attachments. Never attempt to
repair a damaged or leaking air
tank. Replace with a new air tank.
3The air tank is designed to
withstand specific operating
pressures. Never make adjustments
or parts substitutions to alter the
factory set operating pressures.
5 - ENG

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.
1 Over inflation of tires could result in 1 Use atire pressure gauge to check
serious injuryand 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
}ressure regulator on air supply to
no more than the rating of the tire
}ressure. Add air in small increments
and frequently use the tire gauge to
}revent over inflation.

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.
