Before Using the Air Compressor
Since air compressors and other compo- nents (material pump, spray gun, filters, lubrications, hoses, etc.) used make up a high pressure pumping system, the fol- lowing safety precautions should be observed at all times. Only persons well acquainted with these rules of safe oper- ation should be allowed to use the air compressor.
!WARNING:
All electrical work should be done by a qualified (licensed or certified) electrician. On a prop- erly wired circuit, the black wires supply a voltage potential even when the unit is off.
1.Read instruction manuals for each component carefully, before attempt- ing to assemble, disassemble or operate your particular system.
2.Wear safety glasses (meeting ANSI Z87.1 or in Canada CSA
3.Do not exceed pressure rating of any component in system.
4.Protect material lines and air lines from damage or puncture. Keep hose and power cable away from sharp objects, chemical spills, oil, solvents, and wet floors.
5.Never point a spray gun at oneself or any other person. Accidental dis- charge may result in serious injury.
6.Check hoses for weak or worn condi- tion before each use, making certain all connections are secure; do not use if deficiency is found. Notify an authorized service facility for exami- nation or repair.
7.Release all pressures within system slowly; dust and debris may be harm- ful.
!WARNING:
Disconnect power and depres- surize system before servicing air compressor! (Turn pressure regulator knob fully clockwise after shutting off compressor.)
