RULESFOR SAFE OPERATION (continued)
Air Tank:
Due to condensation associated with the processof compressingair,moisturewill buildup inside your compressor’sair tank. Draintank of moisture daily(See GeneralMaintenance). Failure to drain moisturefrom the tank properly couldlead to the formationof rust and thinning of the steel tank.
FAILURETO REGULARLYDRAINTANKMAYCAUSE TANK CORROSIONAND RISK OF TANK EXPLOSION,RESULTING IN SERIOUSINJURY. TO AVOIDRISK OF TANK FAILURE DURING USE, DRAINTANK AFTEREACH USE OR EVERYFOUR HOURS OF OPERATION TO PREVENT
DO NOT PERFORM WELDING OR REPAIROPERATIONSON THE AIR TANK OF THIS COMPRESSOR. WELDING ON THE AIR COMPRESSORTANK CAN SEVERELYIMPAIR TANK STRENGTH AND CAUSE AN EXTREMELYHAZARDOUS CONDITION. WELDINGON THE TANK IN ANY MANNERWILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
Ventilation:
RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION - DO NOT SPRAYFLAMMABLE LIQUIDIN A CONFINED AREA. SPRAYAREA MUST BE WELL VENTILATED. DO NOT SMOKEWHILE SPRAYING AND DO NOT SPRAY WHERE SPARKOR FLAMEIS PRESENT. KEEP COMPRESSORS AS FAR FROM SPRAYING AREA AS POSSIBLE.
Risk of Burns:
All air compressors generate heat,even operatingundernormalconditions. Bostitch compressors have been designedto reducethe risk of burnsby limitingaccessto tubesand cylinder head parts. In areas wheretubesare exposed,a protective sheathing has been added to the tubes to reduce risk; however,risk of burnsdoes exist.
•Toavoid serious burns,never touch the cylinderhead partsor tubingduringor immediately after operation.
