[o llj o)

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 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.

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.
