Placement
Place the compressor on a stable and level surface in a clear and well ventilated area to prevent the motor from overheat- ing. When using the compressor at a job site or any other location, make sure that an adequate and properly fused power supply is available for this machine. Do not use extension cords with this machine.
The contacts of the compressor pres- sure switch spark when cycling the compressor motor ON and OFF. If any flammable gases are near the switch, ignition and explosion may occur, resulting in severe burns or death. NEVER place the compressor next to flammable liquids, gases, or in a paint spraying or gluing booth.
