Operating Instructions

Read the entire Important Safety Information section at the beginning of this manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

Inspect compressor before use, looking for damaged, loose, and missing parts. If any problems are found, do not use until repaired.

Work Piece and Work Area Set Up

1.The Compressor’s engine runs on gasoline and must be set up in an area free from ignition sources.

2.Do not set up too close to a wall or in a confined area. The Air Pump

(A2) and Gas Engine (A4) must have adequate fresh air in order to operate properly and not overheat.

3.Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit. The work area must not allow access by children or pets to prevent injury and distraction.

4.Route the air hose along a safe route to reach the work area without creat- ing a tripping hazard or exposing the air hose to possible damage. The air hose must be long enough to reach the work area with enough extra length to allow free movement while working.
