5.Do not leave compressor unattended for an extended period while plugged in. Unplug compressor after working.

6.Keep compressor well-ventilated. Do not cover compressor during use.

7.Drain Tank daily and after use. Internal rust causes tank failure and explosion.

10.Compressor head gets hot during operation. Do not touch it or allow children nearby during or immediately following operation.

11.Do not use the air hose to move the compressor.

12.Release the pressure in the storage tank before moving.

13.The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may result in a risk of injury to persons.

TABLE A

 

 

 

 

a. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.

b. Be sure to use an extension cord which is heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table A shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

16.Industrial applications must follow OSHA guidelines.

17.Maintain labels and nameplates on the compressor. These carry important safety information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.

18.This product is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of children.

19.Operate unit on level surface. Check oil level daily and fill to marked level if needed.
