DEWALT does not recommend the use of extension cords. This can create power loss and overheating of the motor. Use an additional air hose rather than an extension cord. If use of an extension cord is unavoidable, it should be plugged into a GFCI found in circuit boxes or protected receptacles. When using an extension cord, observe the following.

RISK FROM FLYING OBJECTS
The compressed air stream can cause soft tissue damage to exposed skin and can propel dirt, chips, loose particles and small objects at high speed, resulting in serious injury. Always wear ANSI Z28.1 approved safety glasses with side shields when using the compressor. Never direct air stream at people or animals. Use only OSHA approved air blow guns.
RISK TO BREATHING
The compressed air from your compressor is not safe for breathing! The air stream may contain carbon monoxide, toxic
vapors or solid particles. Never inhale air from the compressor either directly or from a breathing device connected to the compressor.
Sprayed materials such as paint, paint solvents, paint remover, insecticides, weed killers, etc. contain
harmful vapors and poisons. NOTE: Operate air compressor only in a well ventilated area. Read and follow the safety instructions provided on the label or safety data sheets for the material you are spraying. Use a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator designed for use with specific application.
RISK FROM MOVING PARTS
The compressor cycles automatically when the pressure switch is in the ON/AUTO position. Always turn off the com-
pressor, bleed pressure from the air hose and tank, and disconnect from power source before performing maintenance or attaching tools and accessories.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
can be caught in moving parts. Air vents may cover moving parts and should be avoided as well. Do not remove the protective covers from this product. Never operate compressor with guards or protective covers that are damaged or removed. Never stand on the compressor.
RISK OF BURNS
Touching exposed metal such as the compressor head or aftercooler can result in serious burns. Never touch any exposed metal parts on compressor during or immediately after operation. Compressor
