GENERAL SAFETY RULES AND PRECAUTIONS
WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
Do not operate air compressors in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Air Compressors create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating an air tool. Dis-
tractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from debris
such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed. Children should
not be allowed in the work area.
For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating
an air tool. Do not use an air tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating air tools may
result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch (23) is in its “OFF” posi-
tion, all pressure is safely released, and the unit is unplugged before moving
the Compressor and before performing any service, maintenance, or cleaning
procedures on the unit.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the Compressor on. A
wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the machine may result in
personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing
and balance enables better control of the air tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Always wear ANSI-approved
safety impact glasses and hearing protection under a full face shield during use.

TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
Do not use the Compressor if the Compressor’s Power Switch (23) does not
turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with its Power Switch is dan-
gerous and must be replaced.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Properly maintained tools are less likely to bind and are
easier to control. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do not use”
until repaired.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous
when used on another tool.
For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instruc-
tions in the “Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning” section of this manual. Use
of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk
of electric shock or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION! Your Warranty is voided if:
You drop the Air Compressor. Always lift the Air Compressor using its
a.
Handle.
DANGER! This Air Compressor is NOT equipped and should not be used
“as-is” to supply breathing air. For any application of air for human consump-
tion, you must fit the Air Compressor with suitable in-line safety and alarm equip-
ment (not included). This additional equipment is necessary to properly filter and
purify the air to meet minimal specifications for Grade D breathing as described
in Compressed Gas Association Commodity Specification G 7.1-1966, OSHA 29
CFR 1910. 134, and/or Canadian Standards Associations (CSA). In the event the
Air Compressor is used for the purpose of breathing air application and proper in-
line safety and alarm equipment is not simultaneously used, existing warranties
are void, and Harbor Freight Tools disclaims any liability whatsoever for any loss,
personal injury, or damage.

DANGER! Never attempt to repair or modify the Air Tank (17). Welding, drilling,
or any other modification will weaken the Tank resulting in damage from rupture or
explosion. Always replace worn, cracked, or damaged Tanks.
Maintain labels and nameplates on the Air Compressor. These carry important
information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replace-
ment.
Make sure all tools and equipment used with the Air Compressor are rated to
the appropriate capacity. Do not use any tool or equipment that does not operate
from 100 PSI to 135 PSI.
Drain the Air Compressor every day. Do not allow excessive moisture to build
up inside the Air Compressor’s Tank. Do not open the Drain Valve (18) with more
than 10 PSI of air pressure in the Tank. Do not unscrew the Drain Valve so that
more than four threads are showing.
Avoid injury. Never direct air hose (not included) at people or animals.
Do not alter, remove, or tamper with the Safety Valve (5).
