Placement

When determining where to set up the air compressor in the shop or when tak- ing the air compressor to a job site, an important consideration is access to an adequate and properly fused power supply. Refer to SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS for the needs of your particular compressor.

Place the compressor on a solid and level surface. Make sure that the hoses attached to your pneumatic device are unrestricted in movement and not subject to being run over by vehicles or punctured by sharp objects.

Since air compressors are often used for a sustained period of time, sometimes in restricted areas, wear ear protection to avoid long term exposure to the noise.

Make sure the compressor is operating in an environment where there are no explosive, flammable, or caustic fumes or gases. A clear and well ventilated area is best for its safe operation.

Do not place the compressor next to flammable liquids or gas! The com- pressor motor and air supply pipe can reach high temperatures and cause the flammable gas to ignite. Keep work area clear from flammable gas when using the compressor.

Do not place the compressor in a paint spraying or gluing booth. The electric motor on the compressor could cause the fumes to explode.
