7.Make sure all cords and adapter wires are placed so they are not tripped over or dam- aged by pinching, abrading or cutting. Do not place wires near moving objects, doors or sharp objects.

8.Never exceed recommended pressures - bursting articles can cause serious injury. Always check pressure with the pressure gauge.
