Air compressors are utilized in a variety of air system applications. Because air compressors and other components (material pump, spray gun, filters, lubri- cations, hoses, etc.) used make up a high pressure pumping system, the fol- lowing safety precautions should be observed at all times. Only persons well acquainted with these rules of safe oper- ation should be allowed to use the air compressor.
All electrical work should be
done by a qualified (licensed or certified) electrician. On a prop- erly wired circuit, the black wires supply a voltage potential even when the unit is off.
1. Read instruction manuals for each component carefully, before attempt- ing to assemble, disassemble or operate your particular system.
2. Do not exceed pressure rating of any component in system.
3. Protect material lines and air lines from damage or puncture. Keep hose and power cable away from sharp
objects, chemical spills, oil, solvents, and wet floors.
4.Never point a spray gun at oneself or any other person. Accidental dis- charge may result in serious injury.
5.Check hoses for weak or worn condi- tion, before each use, making certain all connections are secure; do not use if deficiency is found. Notify an authorized service facility for exami- nation or repair.
6.Release all pressures within system slowly; dust and debris may be harm- ful.
Disconnect power and depressurize system before
servicing air compressor! (Turn pressure regulator knob fully clockwise after shutting off compressor.)
7. Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
