The air compressor should be operated on a dedicated 15 amp circuit. If the circuit does

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

not have 15 free amps available, a larger circuit must be used. Always use more air

CAUTION

hose before utilizing extension cords. All extension cords used must be 12 gauge with a

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

maximum length of 25 ft. The circuit fuse type must be a time delay. Low voltage could

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

cause damage to the motor.

Risk of Moving Parts

If the air compressor is in operation, all guards and covers should be attached or

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

installed correctly. If any guard or cover has been damaged, do not operate the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

equipment until the proper personnel has correctly repaired the equipment. The power

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

cord should be free of any moving parts, twisting and/or crimping while in use and while

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

in storage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Risk of Burns

There are surfaces on your air compressor that while in operation and thereafter can

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

cause serious burns if touched. The equipment should be allowed time to cool before

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

any maintenance is attempted. Items such as the compressor pump and the outlet tube

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

are normally hot during and after operation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Risk of Falling

Operation of the air compressor should always be in a position that is stable. Never use

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the air compressor on a rooftop or elevated position that could allow the unit to fall or

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

be tipped over. Use additional air hose for elevated jobs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Risk from Flying Objects

Always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety glasses with side shields when the air

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

compressor is in use. Turn off the air compressor and drain the air tank before

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

performing any type of maintenance or disassembly of the hoses or fittings. Never point

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

any nozzle or sprayer toward any part of the body or at other people or animals.
