Safety Rules for Electric Compressors
Power cord plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cord immediately. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not expose this compressor to rain. Do not use in damp or wet locations. Moisture increases the risk of electric shock with this equipment.
Do not touch plug with wet hands. Moisture increases the risk of electric shock with this equipment.
Keep all electrical connections dry and off the ground. Do not allow electrical connections to lay in water or in such a position where water could come into contact with cord and connection. Moisture increases the risk of electric shock with this equipment.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use and with correct amperage capacity. Use of a cord rated for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
Always disconnect compressor from power supply, vent air tanks, and allow compressor to cool before servicing. Compressors with automatic pressure controls can restart at any time.
Always turn off the motor when not in use and before moving compressor. Stopping the motor prevents unintentional starting of the compressor.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
•Lead from
•Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
•Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
