Safety and Operation Precautions
Because an air compressor is a piece of machinery with moving and rotating parts, the same precautions should be
observed as with any piece of machinery of this type where carelessness in operation or maintenance is hazardous
to personnel. In addition to the many obvious safety rules that should be followed with this type of machinery, the
additional safety precautions as listed below must be observed:
1. Read all instructions completely before operating air compressor or unit.
2. For installation, follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as the National Electrical Code (NEC) an
the
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
3. Electric motors must be securely and adequately grounded. This can be accomplished by wiring with a
grounded, metal-clad raceway system to the starter; by using a separate ground wire connected to the bar
etal of the motor frame or other suitable means.
m
4. Protect the power cable from coming in contact with sharp objects. Do not kink power cable and never allow
the
cable to come in contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces, or chemicals.
5. Make certain that the power source conforms to the requirements of your equipment.
6. Pull main electrical disconnect switch and disconnect any separate control lines, if used, before attempting to
work or perform maintenance on the air compressor or unit. "Lock out" or "Tag out" all power sources.
7. Do not attempt to remove any compressor parts without first relieving the entire system of pressure.
8. Do not attempt to service any part while machine is in an operational mode.
9. Do not operate the compressor at pressures in excess of its rating.
10. Do not operate compressor at speeds in excess of its rating.
11. Periodically check all safety devices for proper operation. Do not change pressure setting or restric
ation in any way.
oper
12. Be sure no tools, rags, or loose parts are left on the compressor or drive parts.
13. Do not use flammable solvents for cleaning the air inlet filter or element and other parts.
14. Exercise cleanliness during maintenance and when making repairs. Keep dirt away from parts by covering
parts and exposed openings with clean cloth or Kraft paper.
15. Do not operate the compressor without guards, shields and screens in place.
16. Do not install a shut-off valve in the discharge line, unless a pressure relief valve, of proper design and size, is
installed in the line between the compressor unit and shut-off valve.
17. Do not operate compressor in areas where there is a possibility of ingesting flammable or toxic fumes.
18. Be careful when touching the exterior of a recently run motor - it may be hot enough to be painful or cause
injury. With modern motors this condition is normal if operated at rated load - modern motors are built to
operate at higher temperatures.
19. Inspect unit daily to observe and correct any unsafe operating conditions found.
20. Do not "play around" with compressed air nor direct air stream at body. This can cause injuries.
21. Compressed air from this machine absolutely must not be used for food processing or breathing air withou
adequate
22. Always use an air pressure regulating device at the point of use. Do not use air pressure greater than marked
maximum pressure of attachment.
23. Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each use and make certain that all connections are secure.
24. Always wear safety glasses when using compressed air gun.
