GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING! Read all instructions

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock,

fire, and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed

below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool.

Work area safety

a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the

presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

_i_ To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury, use indoors only.

Electrical safety

a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any

way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,

radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a

power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or

unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges

or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric

shock.

Personal safety

a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating

a power tool. Do not use a power too! while you are tired or under the

influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while

operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment

such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection

used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

C. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off=position before

plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in

power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

Page 3

Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A

wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in

personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This

enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,

clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long

hair can be caught in moving parts.

Power tool use and care

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.

The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it

was designed.

Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power

tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be

repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any

adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools, Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool

accidentally.

Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow

people unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate

the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools

operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many

accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

Use the power too! in accordance with these instructions and in the manner

intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working

conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations

different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Service

a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only

identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool

is maintained.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Maintain labels and nameplates on the Air Compressor. These carry important

safety information. If unreadable or missing, contact TOLL FREE HELPLINE

CAUTION: Your Warranty is voided if you drop the Air Compressor. Always

transport the Air Compressor using its Handle and Wheels.

DANGER! This Air Compressor is NOT equipped and should not be used "as-is"

to supply breathing air. For any application of air for human consumption, you

must fit the Air Compressor with suitable in-line safety and alarm equipment (not

included). This additional equipment is necessary to properly filter and purify

the air to meet minimal specifications for Grade D breathing as described in

Compressed Gas Association Commodity Specification G 7.1-1966, OSHA 29

CFR 1910. 134, and/or Canadian Standards Associations (CSA). In the event

the Air Compressor is used for the purpose of breathing air application and

proper in-line safety and alarm equipment is not simultaneously used, existing

warranties are void, and supplier and manufacturer disclaims any liability

whatsoever for any loss, personal injury, or damage.

DANGER! Never attempt to repair or modify the Air Tank (27). Welding, drilling,

or any other modification will weaken the Tank resulting in damage from rupture

or explosion. Always replace worn, cracked, or damaged Tanks.

WARNING! Never use plastic (PVC) pipe for compressed air; serious injury or

death could result. Any tube, pipe, or hose used must have a pressure rating

higher than 155 PSI. Minimum recommended pipe size: Up to 50 feet long use

1/2" diameter. Greater than 50 feet use 3/4" diameter. Larger diameter pipe is

always better.

CAUTION: DO NOT use an extension cord with this product.

Make sure all tools and equipment used with the Air Compressor are rated to the

appropriate capacity. Do not use any tool or equipment that operates over 155

PSI.

Drain the Air Compressor every day. Do not allow excessive moisture to build up

inside the Air Compressor's Tank. Do not open the Drain Valve (30) with more

than !0 PSI of air pressure in the Tank. Do not unscrew the Drain Valve so that

more than four turns are showing.

Avoid injury. Never direct the Air Outlet Valve (8) at people or animals.

Do not alter or remove the Safety Release Valve (18).

Make sure the Air Compressor is located on a flat, level, sturdy surface capable

of supporting the weight of the Compressor, operator(s), and any additional tools

and equipment.
