Tires:
•Over inflation of tires could result in serious injury and property damage.
•Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tires pressure before each use and while inflating tires; see the tire sidewall for the correct tire pressure.
NOTE: Air tanks, compressors and similar equipment used to inflate tires can fill small tires very rapidly. Adjust Pressure Regulator
(D)on air supply to no more than the rating of the tire pressure. Add air in small increments and frequently use the tire gauge to prevent over inflation.
Risk of Electrical Shock
What can happen
•Your air compressor is powered by electricity. Like any other electrically powered device, If it is not used properly it may cause electric shock.
•Repairs attempted by unqualified personnel can result in serious injury or death by electrocution.
•Electrical Grounding: Failure to provide adequate grounding to this product could result in serious injury or death from electrocution. See Grounding Instructions under Installation.
How to prevent it
•Never operate the compressor outdoors when it is raining or in wet conditions.
•Never operate compressor with protective covers removed or damaged.
•Any electrical wiring or repairs required on this product should be performed by a BOSTITCH factory service center or a BOSTITCH authorized service center in accordance with national and local electrical codes.
•Make certain that the electrical circuit to which the compressor is connected provides proper electrical grounding, correct voltage and adequate fuse protection.
Risk from Flying Objects
What can happen
•The compressed air stream can cause soft tissue damage to exposed skin and can propel dirt, chips, loose particles, and small objects at high speed, resulting in property damage or personal injury.
How to prevent it
•Always wear certified safety equipment:
ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3) with side shields when using the compressor.
•Never point any nozzle or sprayer toward any part of the body or at other people or animals.
•Always turn the compressor off and bleed pressure from the air hose and air tank before attempting maintenance, attaching tools or accessories.
