WHAT TO
LOOK FOR WHAT COULD HAPPEN	HOW TO PREVENT IT

Hot Parts	The metal compressor components, such as
	manifold , tubes, etc. become hot when the air
	compressor is running. If you touch them, you
	may be seriously burned.

Avoid contact with metal components of the compressor during or immediately after operation. Reaching under or removing portions of the plastic enclosures such as the console cover exposes hot surfaces. Allow compressor to cool prior to servicing.

Flammable Vapors

It is normal for the motor and pressure switch to spark when compressor starts or stops. A spark can ignite vapors from gasoline or solvents, causing a fire or explosion.

If spraying a flammable material, provide ample ventilation. Never spray in a closed area. There must be a flow of fresh air at all times.

Always operate the air compressor in well-ventilated areas, free of gasoline or other solvent vapors. Do not operate the compressor near the spray area.

Air Tank	Modifications to air compressor components in an
	attempt to reach higher air pressure can cause the
	air tank to rupture or explode.
	Incompatibility between tank and compressor will
	cause the tank to rupture.
	Modifications to the air tank will cause it to weaken.

Do not adjust, remove or tamper with the safety valve or pressure switch. If safety valve or pressure switch replacement is necessary, a part with the same ratings must be used.

Never replace the air tank with a different model or a larger tank. Return to Sears Service Center if replacement is required.

Never drill into, weld or in any way modify the air tank. The tank may rupture or explode. If leaks develop due to corrosion or tank is damaged, return to Sears Service Center for replacement.
