Keep work area clean and well lit.a.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate the Compressor in b.
explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of ammable liquids,
gases or dust. Compressor motors
produce sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away c.
from an operating compressor.
Electrical safety2.
Compressor plugs must match the a.
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.
Do not expose compressor to rain b.
or wet conditions. Water entering
a compressor will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never c.
use the cord for unplugging the
compressor. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving

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.
Use the compressor in accordance e.
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.
Prevent unintentional starting. c.
Ensure the switch is in the offposition before connecting to power
source or moving the compressor.
Compressor use and care4.
Do not use the compressor if the a.
switch does not turn it on and
off. Any compressor that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the b.

adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing the compressor. Such
preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the compressor
accidentally.
Store an idle compressor out of c.
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.
Service5.
Have your compressor serviced by a.
a qualied repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the compressor
is maintained.
