Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well
as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious injury.
Drain tank of moisture after each day’s use.
If unit will not be used for a while, it is best to leave drain
valve open until such time as it is to be used. This will
allow moisture to completely drain out and help prevent
corrosion on the inside of tank.
Risk of Fire or Explosion. Do not spray flammable
liquid in a confined area. Spray area must be well
ventilated. Do not smoke while spraying or spray where
spark or flame is present. Keep compressors as far from
the spraying area as possible, at least 15 feet from the
spraying area and all explosive vapors.
Risk of Bursting. Do not adjust regulator to result
in output pressure greater than marked maximum
pressure of attachment. Do not use at pressure greater
than 150 PSI.
If connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use
time-delay fuses with this product.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to
rain. Store indoors.
Inspect tank yearly for rust, pin holes, or other
imperfections that could cause it to become unsafe.
Never weld or drill holes in the air tank.
Make sure the hose is free of obstructions or snags.
Entangled or snarled hoses can cause loss of balance
or footing and may become damaged.
Use the air compressor only for its intended use. Do
not alter or modify the unit from the original design
or function.
Always be aware that misuse and improper handling
of this tool can cause injury to yourself and others.
Never leave a tool unattended with the air hose
attached.
Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a
legible warning label.
Do not continue to use a tool or hose that leaks air
or does not function properly.
Always disconnect the air supply and power supply
before making adjustments, servicing a tool, or when a
tool is not in use.
Do not attempt to pull or carry the air compressor
by the hose.
Your tool may require more air consumption than
this air compressor is capable of providing.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Always follow all safety rules recommended by the
manufacturer of your tool, in addition to all safety
rules for the air compressor.

Service Center. Constantly stay aware of cord
location.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock or fire.
Never use an electrical adaptor with this grounded
plug.
Check damaged parts. Before further use of the
air compressor or air tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service center.

Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be sure
to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at
least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 50
feet or less in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is
not recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently
and use them to instruct others who may use this air
compressor. If you loan someone this tool, load them
these instructions also.
