GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
RISK OF BURSTING
HOW TO PREVENT IT
1. 1.
2. 2.
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.
Exposure to chemicals in dust
created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities may be
harmful.
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
lters and in-line safety equipment
must be properly installed. In-line
lters 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. Always
use certied safety equipment:
NIOSH/OSHA respiratory protection
or properly t ting face mask
designed for use with your specic
application.
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 innite life. Tank life is dependent
upon several factors, some of which include operating conditions, ambient conditions,
proper installations, eld modications, and the level of maintenance.
The exact effect of these factors on air receiver life is difcult 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.

Failure to properly drain condensed
water from air tank, causing rust
and thinning of the steel air tank.
Exceeding the pressure rating of
air tools, spray guns, air operated
accessories, tires, and other
inatables can cause them to
explode or y apart, and could
result in serious injury.
Over ination of tires could result in
serious injury and property damage.
Modications or attempted repairs
to the air tank.
Unauthoriaed modications to
the safety valve or any other
components which control air tank
pressure.
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
compressor.
Follow the equipment
manufacturers recommendation
and never exceed the maximum
allowable pressure rating of
attachments. Never use compressor
to inate small low pressure objects
such as children’s toys, footballs,
basketballs, etc.
Use a tire pressure gauge to check
the tires pressure before each use
and while inating tires; see the tire
sidewall for the correct tire pressure.
NOTE: Air tanks, compressors and
similar equipment used to inate tires
can ll small tires very rapaidly. 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
prevent over ination.
2. Never drill into,weld,or make any
modications to the air tank or its
attachments. Never attempt to
repair a damaged or leaking air
tank. Replace with a new air tank.
3. The air tank is designed to
withstand specic operating
pressures. Never make adjustments
or parts substitutions to alter the
factory set operating pressures.
The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank, and result in
a violent air tank explosion:

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. 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.
Always wear certied safety
equipment: ANSI Z87.1 eye
protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3)
with side shields when using the
compressor.

Touching exposed metal such as
the compressor head, engine head,
engine exhaust or outlet tubes, can
result in serious burns.
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.

injury if they come into contact with
you or your clothing.
Unsafe operation of your air
compressor could lead to serious
injury or death to you or others.
2. 2.
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.
Any repairs required on this product
should be performed by authorized
service center personnel.
Never operate the compressor with
guards or covers which are damaged
or removed.
Review and understand all insructions
and warnings in this manual.
Become familiar with the operation and

A portable compressor can fall
from a table, workbench, or roof
causing damage to the compressor
and could result in serious
injury or death to the operator.
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.
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 delivery.
PSI: Pounds per square inch gauge;
a unit of measure pressure.
Code Certication: Products that
bear one or more of the following
marks: UL®*, CUL, ETL®*, CETL, have
been evaluated by OSHA certied
independent safety laboratories and
meet the applicable Standards for
Safety.

Under some conditions and
duration of use, noise from this
product may contribute to hearing
loss.
Always operate commpressor in a
stable secure position to prevent
accidental movement of the unit.
Never operate compressor on a
roof or other elevated position.
Use additional air hose to reach
high locations.
Always wear certied safety
equipment: ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)
