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 examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, 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 equip-
ment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.

Additional Safety Instructions
for Air Compressors
No list of safety guidelines can
be complete. Every environment is
different. Always consider safety
first, as it applies to your individ-
ual working conditions. Use this
and other machinery with caution
and respect. Failure to do so could
result in serious personal injury,
damage to equipment or poor work
results.
1. TANK SAFETY.
2. COMPRESSED AIR USE.
3. AVOID BURNS.
4. AIR LINE AND POWER CORD
SAFETY.
5. AIR NOZZLE.
6. UNPLUG COMPRESSOR.
There is danger associated with the
use of air compressors. Accidents
are frequently caused by lack of
familiarity or failure to pay atten-
tion. Use this air compressor with
respect and caution to lessen the
possibility of operator injury. If nor-
mal safety precautions are over-
looked or ignored, serious personal
injury may occur.
SECTION 1: CIRCUIT
REQUIREMENTS
Serious personal injury could occur
if you connect the machine to the
power source before you have com-
pleted the set up process. DO NOT

NOTICE
The oil fill cap releases crankcase
pressure through a small hole in
the top of the cap. Keep this hole
unclogged, or the crankcase may
pressurize, causing seals and gas-
kets to leak leading to compressor
bearing failure.
4.
Hot crankcase oil can scald your
hands or fingers. Before draining the
oil, allow the compressor to cool 15
minutes before removing the drain
plug.
