W ARNING:
Risk of Air Tank Bursting
W HAT CAN HAPPEN
The following conditions could lead to a weaken-
ing of the tank, and RESULT IN A VIOLENT TANK
E X P LO S IO N R E S U L T I N G I N S E R IO U S I N J U R Y T O
Y O U O R O T H E R S :
Failure to properly drain condensed water from the
tank, causing rust and thinning of the tank wall.
Modifications or attempted repairs to the tank.
Unauthorized modifications to the pressure switch,
safety valve, or any other components, which
control tank pressure.
HO W TO PREVENT IT
Drain air tank daily or after each use. If air tank
develops a leak, replace it immediately with a new
tank or replace the entire compressor.
Do not drill into, weld or otherwise modify air tank
or it will weaken. The tank can rupture or explode.
Replace with a new air tank.
Follow the equipment manufacturers recommen-
d a t i o n a n d n e v e r e x c e e d t h e m a x i m u m
pressure rating of attachments. Never use the
compressor to inflate small low-pressure objects
such as children's toys, footballs, basketballs, etc.
W ARNING:
Risk of Attachments and Accessories Bursting
W HAT CAN HAPPEN
Exceeding the pressure rating of air tools, spray
guns, air operated accessories, tires AND other
inflatables can cause them to explode or fly apart,
and could result in serious injury to you and
o t h e r s .
Always follow all safety rules recommended by
the manufacturer of your air tool, in addition to all
safety rules for the air compressor. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
W ARNING:
Risk hen In ating Tires
W HAT CAN HAPPEN
Over inflating tires can result in serious injury and prop-
e r t y d a m a g e .
HO W TO PREVENT IT
Check the tires pressure before each use with
a tire pressure gauge. While inflating tires, con-
firm the correct tire pressure written on the tire s
s i d e w a l l .
NOTE: Equipment used for inflating tires, such as
air tanks and compressors can inflate small tires or
similar very rapidly. Adjust the air supply so that it
becomes equal or less than the rating of tire pressure.
To prevent over inflation, supply air little by little and
frequently check the tire s air pressure using a tire
g a u g e .
W ARNING:
Risk of Electric Shock
W HAT CAN HAPPEN
Your air compressor is powered by electricity. Like any
other electrically powered device, if it is not used prop-
e r l y , i t m a y c a u s e e l e c t r i c a l s h o c k .
HO W TO PREVENT IT
Any electrical wiring or repairs required to this
product should be performed by qualified service
personnel or a licensed electrician, in accordance
w i t h n a t i o n a l a n d l o c a l e l e c t r i c a l c o d e s .
Never operate the compressor outdoors when it is
r a i n i n g , o r i n a w e t e n v i r o n m e n t .
Never operate the compressor with guards or
a l l o w a b l e
c o v e r s w h i c h a r e d a m a g e d o r r e m o v e d .
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose
t o r a i n . S t o r e i n d o o r s .
Do not expose compressor to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering the compressor will increase
the risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
W ARNING:
Risk of Explosion or Fire
W HAT CAN HAPPEN
It is normal for electrical contacts within the motor and
pressure switch to spark, whenever the compressor
starts or stops. Never operate the compressor in an
atmosphere where flammable vapors are present.
Doing so can result in serious injury to you or others.
HO W TO PREVENT IT
Always operate the compressor in a well-venti-
lated area, free of gasoline or solvent vapors.
Do not use flammable liquid in a confined area.
Always ventilate the spraying area.
Do not smoke during spraying and spray toward a
location where spark or flame is generated.
Keep compressors away from the spraying area
as possible, leave a distance at least .1 m from
the spraying area and all flammable materials.
Store flammable materials in a secure location
away from compressor.
