RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (continued)
Air Tank:
Due to condensation associated with the process of compressing air, moisture will build up inside your compressor’s air tank. Drain tank of moisture daily (See General Maintenance). Failure to drain moisture from the tank properly could lead to the formation of rust and thinning of the steel tank.
FAILURE TO REGULARLY DRAIN TANK MAY CAUSE TANK CORROSION AND RISK OF TANK EXPLOSION, RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY. TO AVOID RISK OF TANK FAILURE DURING USE, DRAIN TANK AFTER EACH USE OR EVERY FOUR HOURS OF OPERATION TO PREVENT CONDENSATION
DO NOT PERFORM WELDING OR REPAIR OPERATIONS ON THE AIR TANK OF THIS COMPRESSOR. WELDING ON THE AIR COMPRESSOR TANK CAN SEVERELY IMPAIR TANK STRENGTH AND CAUSE AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS CONDITION. WELDING ON THE TANK IN ANY MANNER WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
Ventilation:
RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION - DO NOT SPRAY FLAMMABLE LIQUID IN A CONFINED AREA. SPRAY AREA MUST BE WELL VENTILATED. DO NOT SMOKE WHILE SPRAYING AND DO NOT SPRAY WHERE SPARK OR FLAME IS PRESENT. KEEP COMPRESSORS AS FAR FROM SPRAYING AREA AS POSSIBLE.
Risk of Burns:
All air compressors generate heat, even operating under normal conditions. Bostitch compressors have been designed to reduce the risk of burns by limiting access to tubes and cylinder head parts. In areas where tubes are exposed, a protective sheathing has been added to the tubes to reduce risk; however, risk of burns does exist.
•To avoid serious burns, never touch the cylinder head parts or tubing during or immediately after operation.
