Operational Warnings:

1.To reduce the risk of explosion or fire, never spray flammable liquids in a confined area. Make sure the work area is well ventilated. Never smoke while spraying. Never spray near flames or sparks. Keep compressor away from all flammable objects.

2.Air from a compressor is not suitable for breathing purposes. Never inhale air from the compressor.

3.Never alter or weld on the air compressor tank. Welding on a tank is extremely hazardous and could affect tank strength; this may result in an explosion, causing severe injury or death.

5.Never make adjustments or work on the compressor when it is pressurized.

6.Never service or perform maintenance on the air compressor until it is depressurized and unplugged.
