4.Compressor use and care

a.Do not force the compressor. Use the correct compressor for your application. The correct compressor will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b.Do not use the compressor if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any compressor that cannot be con- trolled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c. Disconnect the plug from the power source of the compressor before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or stor- ing compressors. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the compressor accidentally.

d.Store idle compressors out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the com- pressor or these instructions to operate it. Compressors are danger- ous in the hands of untrained users.

f. Use the compressor in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use

of the compressor for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
