WARNING 1
HAZARDS CAN OCCUR IF EQUIPMENT IS NOT USED PROPERLY.
READ THE FOLLOWING CHART
WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHAT COULD HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
Hot Parts When operated continuously the
air hose gets hot, especially near
the compressor. If you maintain
contact by grasping you may suf­
fer minor burns or discomfort. Avoid prolonged contact with hose within 4 feet
of the air compressor during or immediately
after operation. Always use the handle.
Flammable Vapors It is normal for the motor’s electri­
cal contacts to spark when the
compressor starts or stops. A
spark
can ignite flammable
Svapors from gasoline or sol­
vents, causing an explosion or
fire.
The air compressor must only be used in well
ventilated areas, free of gasoline or solvent
vapors.
Do not operate the compressor while you are
carrying it, or in the spray area.
Compressed Air Compressed air can propel dust,
dirt or loose particles it comes in
contact with.
Too much air pressure applied to
air tools or accessories can
cause damage or risk of bursting.
Never point any nozzle or sprayer toward a per­
son or any part of the body.
Always wear safety goggles or glasses when
using the air compressor.
Always turn the air compressor off before
attaching or removing accessories.
Check the manufacturer’s maximum pressure
rating for air tools and accessories. Regulator
outlet pressure must never exceed the max­
imum pressure rating.
Toxic Vapors It is normal for compressed air to
contain toxic or irritating vapors.
Such vapors are harmful if
inhaled.
Certain materials you are spray­
ing (like paint, weed killer, sand or
insecticide) can be harmful if you
inhale them.
Never directly inhale the compressed air pro­
duced by this unit.
Read and follow the safety instructions pro­
vided on the label or safety data sheet for the
material you are spraying. Use a respirator
mask if there is a chance of inhaling anything
you are spraying. Read all instructions.. .be
sure that the respirator mask is suitable for your
application.
Electricity Your air compressor is powered
by electricity. Like any other elec­
trically powered device, if it is not
used properly it can cause electri­
cal shock. Always unplug the air compressor prior to main­
tenance or repair.
Never use the air compressor in the rain.
Always plug the cord into an electrical outlet
with the specified voltage and adequate fuse
protection.
Unsuitable The solvents 1,1,1-Trichlorethane Read the label or data sheet supplied with the
Solvents and Methylene Chloride can
chemically react with aluminum
used in paint spray guns, paint
pumps, etc., and cause an explo­
sion. These solvents can also
react with galvanized compo­
nents and cause corrosion and
weakening of parts. This will not
affect your air compressor, but it
may affect the equipment you
use. material you intend to spray. If it contains the
solvents listed do not use accessories that con­
tain aluminum or galvanized parts. You must
either change the material you intend to spray,
or use only stainless steel spray equipment.
