IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

General Safety Warnings

WARNING Read all safety warnings and instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible

conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense

and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

1.

Work area safety
a.

Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b.

Do not operate the Compressor in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence

of flammable liquids, gases or dust.

Compressor motors produce sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c.

Keep children and bystanders away

from an operating compressor.

2.

Electrical safety
a.

Compressor plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the plug in any way.

Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded

compressors. Standard plugs and matching

outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b.

Do not expose compressor to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a compressor

will increase the risk of electric shock.

c.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the

cord for unplugging the compressor.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges

or moving parts. Damaged or entangled

cords increase the risk of electric shock.

3.

Personal safety
a.

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and

use common sense when operating this

compressor. Do not use this compressor

while you are tired or under the influence

of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment

of inattention while operating a compressor

may result in serious personal injury.

b.

Use personal protective equipment.

Always wear ANSI-approved eye

protection during setup and use.

c.

Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the

switch is in the off-position before connecting

to power source or moving the compressor.

4.

Compressor use and care
a.

Do not use the compressor if the switch

does not turn it on and off. Any compressor

that cannot be controlled with the switch

is dangerous and must be repaired.

b.

Disconnect the plug from the power source

before making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing the compressor.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the

risk of starting the compressor accidentally.

c.

Store an idle compressor out of the reach

of children and do not allow persons

unfamiliar with the compressor or these

instructions to operate it. A compressor is

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

d.

Maintain the compressor. Keep the

compressor clean for better and safer

performance. Follow instructions for

lubricating and changing accessories.

Keep dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts and any other

condition that may affect the compressor’s

operation. If damaged, have the compressor

repaired before use. Many accidents are

caused by a poorly maintained compressor.

e.

Use the compressor in accordance with

these instructions, taking into account

the working conditions and the work to

be performed. Use of the compressor for

operations different from those intended

could result in a hazardous situation.

5.

Service
a.

Have your compressor serviced by a

qualified repair person using only identical

replacement parts. This will ensure that the

safety of the compressor is maintained.
