Long term exposure to this machine may cause hearing loss. To protect your hearing, always wear ANSI approved ear protection when operat- ing this air compressor.

Operating this equipment has the potential for flying debris to cause eye injury. Always wear safety glass- es or goggles when operating equip- ment. Everyday glasses or reading glasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses. Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet the appropriate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

To start the air compressor:

1.Place the compressor on a solid, level surface with access to a properly fused power supply. DO NOT oper- ate the compressor in an environment where there are explosive, flammable, or caustic fumes or gases.

2.Make sure the compressor switch is in the OFF position (lever with red cap shown in Figure 7) before connecting to the power supply.
