EQUIPMENT.

RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION.

RISK OF BURSTING.

Never spray flammable liquids in a confined area. It is normal for the motor and pressure switch to produce sparks while operating. If sparks come into contact with vapors from gasoline or other solvents, they may ignite, causing fire or explosion. Always operate the compressor in a well-ventilated area. Do not smoke while spraying. Do not spray where sparks or flame are )resent. Keep compressor as far from spray area as possible.

Do not weld, drill or modify the air tank of this compressor. Welding or modifications on the air compressor tank can severely impair tank strength and cause an extremely hazardous condition. Welding or modifying the tank in any manner will void the warranty.

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

Never

use an electric air compressor

outdoors when

it is raining

or on a wet surface, as it may

 

cause

an electric

shock.

 

 

 

 

 

 

RISK OF INJURY.

This

unit starts automatically. ALWAYS

shut off the

compressor,

remove

the plug from the outlet,

r

and

bleed all pressure from the system

before servicing the compressor,

and when the compressor

 

is not in use. Do not use the unit with the shrouds or belt guard removed.

Serious

injury could occur

 

from contact with moving parts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

RISK OF BURSTING.

Check

the manufacturer's maximum

pressure rating

for air tools

and accessories.

Compressor

 

outlet pressure must be regulated so as to never exceed the maximum pressure rating of the tool.

 

Relieve all pressure through the hose before attaching or removing accessories.

 

RISK OF BURNS.

High

temperatures

are generated by the pump and manifold. To

prevent burns or other injuries, DO

 

NOT touch the pump, manifold or transfer tube while the pump is running. Allow them to cool

 

before handling or servicing. Keep children away from the compressor at all times.

 

RISK TO BREATHING.

RISK OF EYE INJURY.

Be certain to read all labels when you are spraying paints or toxic materials, and follow the safety instructions. Use a respirator mask if there is a chance of inhaling anything you are spraying. Read all instructions and be sure that your respirator mask wilt protect you. Never directly inhale the compressed air produced by a compressor. It is not suitable for breathing purposes.

Always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety goggles when using an air compressor. Never point any nozzle or sprayer toward a person or any part of the body. Equipment can cause serious injury

if the spray penetrates the skin.

RISK OF BURSTING.

Do

not

adjust

the relief valve for any

reason.

Doing so voids

all warranties. The relief valve has

 

been pre-set at the factory for the maximum pressure of this unit. Personal injury and/or property

 

damage may

result if the relief valve

is tampered with.

 

RISK OF BURSTING.

Do

not

use plastic or pvc pipe for compressed

air. Use only

galvanized steel pipe and fittings for

 

compressed

air distribution lines.
