WARNING
Protect your eyes. The operation of any air compressor can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in
severe eye damage. Always wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z28.1 specifications during air compressor operation. Eyeglasses are
not always safety glasses.
Be responsible for your hearing. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation.
Use the right tool. Use tools properly and for their intended task. Do not force a small tool to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. Using the
right tool to do the right job will do the job intended safer.
Check damaged parts before use of any air tools or attachments, a guard or other part that is damage should be carefully checked to
ensure that it would operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts, mounting, or any other conditions that may affect tool operation. A guard or other part that is damage should be properly
replaced. See replacement parts list for additional details.
Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure that your air compressor is in the off position before plugging it into a power cord or electrical
receptacle.
Store all maintenance tools away from the immediate area before turning “on” your air compressor.
Do not overreach. Proper footing and balance is a must at all times while using tools. Unstable support may lead to personal injury. Do
not stand on the tool. Serious injury could result if the tool tips over or you accidentally contact tool.
Never leave the air compressor running unattended. Always turn the power to the “off” position and do not leave the air compressor
until it come to a complete stop.
When using air accessories consult the owner's manual provided by the manufacturer. The use of improper accessories may cause risk
of injury to yourself and others.
Always make sure the tool is in the “off” position and unplugged from the electrical receptacle when making adjustments, changing
parts or performing any maintenance.
Secure work. When possible, the use of clamps or holding device is much safer than holding the work piece with your hands.
Keep protective guards in place and in proper working condition.
Maintain tools and equipment with care. They will function better and safer when kept clean and in good working condition. Keeping the
air compressor clean, dry, and free of grime will add to its life and performance.
Childproof the workshop. The use of master switches and padlocks is highly recommended. Remove starter keys where applicable.

WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
DRAIN LIQUID FROM AIR TANK DAILY - Use the drain valve located on the bottom of the air tank to drain. Failure to properly drain liquid from the tank will cause rust from moisture buildup, which weakens the tank and could lead to a violent tank explosion. Periodically
inspect the tanks for unsafe conditions such as corrosion, cracked welds, and leaks.
Release air slowly when draining moisture or depressurizing the air compressor. Fast moving air will stir up dust, dirt and debris that
may be harmful.
RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION - Avoid dangerous environments. Do not spray combustible/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. Arcing parts - keep compressor at
least 20' away from spraying area and all explosive vapors. Do not use compressor near gasoline or other flammable materials. Operate
the air compressor in a well-ventilated area. Do not direct paint or other spray material towards the compressor. Read and follow all
safety instructions for the material you are spraying. Be sure to use an approved respirator designed for use with your specific application.
RISK OF INJURY - Do not direct air stream at body. Use eye protection. Compressor starts automatically. Do not touch MOVING
PARTS. Keep guards in place. Compressor does not supply breathable air.
RISK OF BURSTING - Do not adjust regulator to result in output pressure greater than marked maximum pressure of attachment. If a
regulator has not been installed, use only attachment rated at 200 PSI or higher. Do not weld on or repair tank - A DAMAGED TANK
MUST BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. Do not operate without proper safety valve in place.
Never attempt to repair or make modifications to the tank or its attachments. Welding, drilling or any other modifications may weaken
the tank, which may result in damage from rupture or explosion. Never remove or attempt to adjust the pressure switch, safety valve, or
other components that control tank pressure. Never substitute parts or attempt to alter the factory set operating pressures.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK - Disconnect AIR COMPRESSOR from power source before servicing. USE PROPERLY grounded ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS - Do not use grounding adaptors. Do not use in wet or damp locations or expose to rain. Keep all connections
dry and off the ground. Do not allow power cords to come into contact with water. Do not touch the plug with wet hands. Do not pull
on the electrical cord to disconnect from the power outlet. Store air compressor indoors when not in use. Any electrical wiring or
repairs performed on this air compressor should be done by authorized service personal in accordance with national and local electrical
codes.
RISK TO BREATHING - This air compressor is not designed, nor intended for the supply of breathable quality air. Air produced by this
unit may contain carbon monoxide or other toxic vapors. Do not inhale air from the compressor or from a breathing device connected
to it.
Operate the air compressor in a well-ventilated area. Read and follow all safety instructions for the material you are spraying. Be sure to
use an approved respirator designed for use with your specific application.
RISK OF BURNS - Keep hands and fingers away from exposed metal parts on a running air compressor. Air compressors generate significant heat during normal operation, which can cause serious burns. The compressor will remain hot for some time after operation

Duty Cycle:
Duty cycle refers to the percentage of time a compressor can safely run within a given amount of time expressed as a ratio. Oil lubricated compressors are typically rated at a 50% duty cycle, meaning that the compressor motor can run about 50% of the total time it is
being used to supply air to a tool. During the “on” time, the motor is running to pressurize the tank. During the “off” time, the motor is
stopped and the tools are running off on the pressurized air stored in the tank. If your air tools are draining pressure off of the tank too
quickly, the compressor motor must run more than 50% of the time the compressor is in use. This can lead to overheating and will significantly shorten the life of the compressor.
INSTALLATION AND LOCATION
The compressor must be used on a stable level surface. The air compressor must be used in a clean and well-ventilated area. The compressor requires an unobstructed airflow and must be located a minimum of 20 inches from any walls or other obstructions.
