9.DO NOT ABUSE THE POWER CORD. Do not yank compressor’s cord to disconnect it from the receptacle. Do not carry tools by the cord.
10.DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over or across running machines.
11.MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect compressor’s cord periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized technician. Inspect all hoses for leaks prior to use. The handles must be kept clean, dry, and free from oil and grease at all times.
12.REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Make it a habit to check that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool or machine work surface before plugging it in.
13.AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure the nozzle valve is in the off position when not in use, and before plugging in air compressor.
14.STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate any tool when you are tired.
15.CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken parts or mounting fixtures; and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician. Do not use the tool if any switch does not turn on and off properly.
16.REPLACEMENT PARTS AND ACCESSORIES. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only use accessories intended for use with this tool. Approved accessories are available from Harbor Freight Tools.
17.DO NOT OPERATE TOOL IF UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL OR DRUGS. Read warning labels on prescriptions to determine if your judgment or reflexes are impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate the tool.
18.DRAIN COMPRESSOR EVERY DAY. Do not allow moisture to build up inside the compressor. Do not allow compressor to sit pressurized for longer than one hour.
19.MAKE SURE ALL EQUIPMENT IS RATED TO THE APPROPRIATE CAPACITY. Make sure that regulator is set at no higher than 125 PSI.
20.PERIODICALLY CHECK THE ABRASIVE MEDIUM DELIVERY EQUIPMENT. All equipment that comes in contact with the abrasive medium after it leaves the pressure tank is subjected to the sandblasting action so will wear out more quickly than other components.
21.RELEASE THE AIR PRESSURE OF THE TANK BEFORE OPENING. Open the air supply valve and the nozzle to release pressure. Make sure pressure gauge reads “0” before opening.
