1. Keep yourwork area clean andwelllit. Ensurefloorsare
notslippery from waxordust.
2. Do notoperate powertoolsinexplosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dustorfumes.Keep bystanders,children,and visitors
awaywhileoperatingtools.Distractions can cause you tolose
control.
3. Operate air compressor inan openareaatleast18 in.
away from any wall or object that could restrict the flow of
fresh air to ventilationopenings.
4. Always disconnectthe airsupplyand power supply
before making adjustments,servicing a tool, or when a tool is
not inuse.
5. This compressor/pump is notequipped and should not
be used to supplybreathing qualityair. Additional

Safety Information (continued)
ELECTRICALSAFETY
1. Avoid body contact with groundedsurfaces such as
pipes,radiators,ranges,andrefrigerators.Thereisan
increased riskofelectric shockifyourbody isgrounded.
2. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Waterentering apowertool willincrease theriskof
electric shock.
3. Donotabusethecord. Neverusethecordtocarrythe
tool or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away
fromheat, oil,sharpedges, and movingparts.
4. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords
increase the riskofelectric shock.
ELECTRICALSAFETY (EXTENSION CORDS)
WARNING: Keep theextension cord clear of the
working area. Position the cord sothat it will not
getcaughton lumber,tools,orotherobstructions
whileyouareworkingwithapowertool.Failureto
dosocan resultinserious personalinjury.
WARNING: Checkextensioncords before each use.
If damaged,replaceimmediately. Never usethe air
compressorwith a damaged cordsincetouchingthe
damagedarea couldcauseelectricalshockresulting
in serious personalinjury.
WARNING: Improperlyconnecting theequipment-
grounding conductorcanresultin arisk ofelectrical
shock
1. Useonly 3-wireextension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the air
compressor’s plug.
2. Whenusingtheair compressor ata considerable
distance from the power source, use an extension cord
heavy enough to carry the current that the compressor will
draw.Anundersized extensioncordwill causea
drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power and
causing the motor to overheat. Use the following chart to
determine the minimum wire size required in an
extension cord.
3. Onlyuse 100feetorlessroundjacketed cordslistedby
Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL).
4. When operating apower tool outside, use anoutdoor
extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords are
rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric
shock

ELECTRICAL SAFETY (ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION)
1. This air compressor ispoweredbya precision built
electricmotor. It should be connectedtoa powersupply
thatis120volts,60 Hz, AConly(normal household
current).
2. Donotoperatethis toolondirect current(DC).A
substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and
the motor will overheat. If the air compressor does not
operate when plugged into anoutlet,double checkthe
power supply.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY (SPEED AND WIRING)
1. The no-load speed of the electric motor varies by model
andspecification.Themotorspeedisnotconstant and
decreases under a load or with lower voltage. For
voltage, the wiring in a shop is as important as the
motor’s horsepower rating.
