Additional Safety Instructions
for Air Compressors
1.AIR NOZZLE. Never aim an air noz- zle directly at yourself or others. Compressed air can break the skin, or enter the bloodstream through soft tissue or a cut, and cause a stroke or death.
2.AIR COMPRESSOR STORAGE. DO NOT store the compressor while plugged into power. If a leak devel- ops, the compressor may run con- tinuously, causing overheating and possibly a fire.
3.UNATTENDED TOOLS. DO NOT leave before relieving the tool of air pressure and disconnecting it from the air hose.
4.AVOID BURNS. DO NOT touch the motor or the air supply pipe, they will become hot during operation.
5.AIR HOSE. Make sure your air hose has a PSI rating exceeding the maxi- mum PSI of your compressor, is in good condition, and is long enough to reach your work without stretching. Make sure the air lines and power cord do not come in contact with sharp or abrasive objects.
6.COMPRESSED AIR USE. Do not use the compressor for filling breath- ing or diving tanks. Compressed air from this compressor cannot be used for pharmaceutical, food or health applications.
7.PLASTIC (PVC) PIPE. DO NOT use plastic pipe for high pressure air lines. It could shatter, resulting in serious injury.
8.TANK CORROSION. Drain the tank after each use to prevent corrosion and possible tank rupture. Inspect the tank for unsafe conditions such as rust, pin holes and cracks. NEVER weld or drill holes in an air tank.
9.SAFETY VALVE OR PRESSURE SWITCHES. NEVER adjust safety valve or pressure switch to allow the compressor to build higher PSI than rated. Keep safety valve free from paint and other accumulations to pro- vide safety against
10.CHECK OIL LEVEL. Use the sight gauge on the bottom of the crank- case to make sure the oil level is at the proper height.
There is danger associated with the use of air compressors. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiar- ity or failure to pay attention. Use this air compressor with respect and caution to lessen the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety pre- cautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.
No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every environment is dif- ferent. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual work- ing conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in seri- ous personal injury, damage to equip- ment or poor work results.
