Oilless Compressors

General Safety Information (Continued)

3.Only persons well acquainted with these rules of safe operation should be allowed to use the compressor.

4.Keep visitors away and NEVER allow children in the work area.

5.Wear safety glasses and use hearing protection when operating the pump or unit.

6.Do not stand on or use the pump or unit as a handhold.

7.Before each use, inspect compressed air system and electrical components for signs of damage, deterioration, weakness or leakage. Repair or replace defective items before using.

8.Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for proper tightness.

! WARNING

Motors, electrical equipment and controls

can cause electrical arcs

that will ignite a flammable gas or vapor. Never operate or repair in or near a flammable gas or vapor. Never store flammable liquids or gases in the vicinity of the compressor.

!CAUTION

Compressor parts may be hot even if the unit is stopped.

9. Keep fingers away from a running

compressor; fast moving and hot

parts will cause injury and/or burns.

10. If the equipment should start to

abnormally vibrate, STOP the

engine/motor and check

immediately for the cause. Vibration

is generally a warning of trouble.

Welding, drilling or any other modification will weaken the tank resulting in damage from rupture or explosion. Always replace worn or damaged tanks.

NOTICE	Drain liquid from
	tank daily.

13.Tanks rust from moisture build-up, which weakens the tank. Make sure to drain tank regularly and inspect periodically for unsafe conditions such as rust formation and corrosion.

14.Fast moving air will stir up dust and debris which may be harmful. Release air slowly when draining moisture or depressurizing the compressor system.

SPRAYING PRECAUTIONS

! WARNING

Do not spray flammable materials in vicinity of open flame or near ignition sources including the compressor unit.

15.Do not smoke when spraying paint, insecticides, or other flammable substances.

16.Use a face mask/ respirator when spraying and spray in a well ventilated area to prevent health and fire hazards.

17.Do not direct paint or other sprayed material at the compressor. Locate compressor as far away from the spraying area as possible to minimize overspray accumulation on the compressor.

18.When spraying or cleaning with solvents or toxic chemicals, follow the instructions provided by the chemical manufacturer.

2.Place a short piece of wood against end of handle and tap it with a mallet or hammer to drive handle into baseplate until hole in handle and baseplate line up (See Fig. 1).
