• Exposure to chemicals in dust cre-
ated by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other con-
struction activities may be harmful.
• Sprayed materials such as paint,
paint solvents, paint remover, insec-
ticides, weed killers, may contain
harmful vapors and poisons.
• Work in an area with good cross
ventilation. Read and follow the
safety instructions provided on
the label or safety data sheets
for the materials you are spray-
ing. Always use certified safety
equipment: NIOSH/OSHA respi­
ratory protection or properly fit­
ting face mask designed for use
with your specific application.
HAZARD
RISk OF BURSTING
Air Tank: The air tank on your compressor is designed and may be UM coded [for
units with air tanks greater than 6" (152.4 mm) diameter] according to ASME Section
VIII, Div. 1 rules. All pressure vessels should be inspected once every two years.
To find your state pressure vessels inspector, look under the Division of Labor and
Industries in the government section of a phone book .
The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank, and result in a
violent air tank explosion:
WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Failure to properly drain condensed
water from air tank, causing rust
and thinning of the steel air tank.
• Drain air tank daily or after each use.
If air tank develops a leak, replace
it immediately with a new air tank
or replace the entire compressor.
• Modifications or attempted
repairs to the air tank.
• Never drill into, weld, or make any
modifications to the air tank or its
attachments. Never attempt to
repair a damaged or leaking air
tank. Replace with a new air tank.
• Unauthorized modifica-
tions to the safety valve or
any other components which
control air tank pressure.
• The air tank is designed to with-
stand specific operating pres-
sures. Never make adjustments
or parts substitutions to alter the
factory set operating pressures.
Attachments & accessories:
• Exceeding the pressure rat-
ing 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.
• Follow the equipment manufacturers
recommendation and never exceed
the maximum allowable pressure
rating of attachments. Never use
compressor to inflate small low
pressure objects such as children’s
toys, footballs, basketballs, etc.
