WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK TO BREATHING, OF BURNS AND FLYING OBJECTS
Serious injury or death could occur from inhaling compressed air. The air stream may contain carbon monoxide, toxic vapors or solid particles.
Sprayed materials such as paint, paint solvents, paint remover, insecticides, weed killers, etc., contain harmful vapors and poisons.
Serious injury could occur from touching exposed metal parts. These areas can remain hot for some time even after the air compressor is shutdown.
Serious injury can occur from loose debris being propelled at a high speed from the compressed air stream.
PREVENTION
Never inhale air from the air compressor either directly or from a breathing device connected to the air compressor.
Operate air compressor only in a well ventilated area. Follow all safety instructions provided with the materials you are spraying. Use of a respirator may be required when working with some materials.
Never allow any part of your body or other materials to make contact with any exposed metal parts on the air compressor.
Always wear safety glasses to shield the eyes from flying debris.
Never point the air stream at any part of your body, anyone else or animals.
Never leave pressurized air compressor unattended. Shut off air compressor and relieve pressure before attempting maintenance, attaching tools or accessories.
