WHAT TO
LOOK FOR WHAT COULD HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
Hot Parts
Flammable
Vapors
Air Tank
The compressor head gets hot when the air com-
pressor is running. If you touch it, you may be
seriously burned.
Itis normal for the motor and pressure switch to spark
when the compressor starts or stops. A spark can
ignite flammable vapors from gasoline or solvents,
causing a fire or explosion.
Modifications to air compressor components in an
attempt to reach higher air pressure can cause the
air tank to rupture or explode.
Incompatibility between tank and compressor will
cause the tank to rupture.
Never touch the air compressor head during or imme-
diately after operation.
If spraying aflammable material, provide ample ven-
tilation. Never spray in a closed area. There must be
a flow of fresh air at all times.
Always operate the air compressor in well-ventilated
areas, free of gasoline or other solvent vapors. Do not
operate the compressor near the spray area.
Do not adjust, remove or tamper with the safety valve
or pressure switch. If safety valve or pressure switch
replacement is necessary, a part with the same
ratings must be used.
Never use a motor with a higher horsepower rating
than the one supplied. Never replace the air tank with
adifferent model or alarger tank. Return to authorized
Service Center if replacement is required.
Modifications to the air tank will cause it to weaken.
Never drill into, weld or in any way modify the airtank.
The tank may rupture or explode. If leaks develop due
to corrosion or tank is damaged, return to authorized
Service Center for replacement.
WHAT TO
LOOK FOR
SAFETY GUIDELINES
WHAT COULD HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Compressed
Air
Electricity
Compressed air can propel dust, dirt or loose
particles it comes in contact with. These pro-
pelled particles may cause serious injury or
damage.
Too much air pressure applied to air tools or
accessories can cause damage or risk of burst-
ing.
Your air compressor is powered by electricity.
Like any other electrically powered device, if it is
not used properly it may cause electrical shock.
Never point any nozzle or sprayer toward a
person or any part of the body.
Always wear safety goggles or glasses when
using the air compressor.
Always turn the air compressor off before at-
taching or removing accessories.
Checkthe manufacturer's pressure rating for air
tools and accessories. Regulator outlet pres-
sure must never exceed the maximum pressure
rating.
Always unplug the air compressor prior to main-
tenance or repair.
Never use the air compressor outdoors when it
is raining.
Always plug the cord into an electrical outlet with
the specified voltage and adequate fuse protec-
tion.
Toxic Vapors
Unsuitable
Solvents
It is normal for compressed air to contain toxic
or irritating vapors. Such vapors are harmful if
inhaled.
Certain materials you are spraying (like paint,
weed killer, sand or insecticide) can be harmful
if you inhale them.
The solvents 1,1,1 -Trichloroethane and Meth-
ylene Chloride can chemically react with alumi-
num used in paint sprayguns, paint pumps, etc.,
and cause an explosion. These solvents can
also react with galvanized components and
cause corrosion and weakening of parts. This
does not affect your air compressor- but it may
affect the equipment being used.
Never directly inhale the compressed air pro-
duced by this unit.
Read labels and safety data for all materials you
spray. Follow all safety precautions.
Use a mask or respirator if there is a chance of
inhaling toxic sprayed materials. Masks and
respirators have limits and will only provide
protection against some kindsand limited amounts
of toxic material. Read mask and respirator
instructions carefully. Consult with a safety
expert or industrial hygienist if you are not sure
about the use of acertain mask or respirator.
If the material you intend to spray contains the
solvents listed at left (read the label or data
sheet), do not use accessories that contain
aluminum or galvanized parts. You must either
change the material you intend to spray, or use
only stainless steel spray equipment.

GLOSSARY
CFM: Cubic feet per minute.
SCFM: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of
measure of air delivery.
PSIG: Pounds per square inch gauge; a unit of measure
of pressure.
ASME: American Society of Mechanical Engineers;
made, tested, inspected and registered to meet the
standards of the ASME.
U.L. Listed: Underwriter Laboratories; Samples of
compressor outfits, taken from production, were submit-
ted to U.L. and found to comply with their requirements
for design and performance.
ACCESSORIES FOR USE WITH SEARS
AIR COMPRESSORS
Cut-In Pressure: Whilethe motor isoff, airtank pressure
drops as you continue to use your accessory. When the
tank pressure drops to a certain low level the motor will
restart automatically. The low pressure at which the
motor automatically re-starts iscalled "cut-in pressure."
Cut-Out Pressure: When you turn on your air compres-
sor and it begins to run, air pressure in the air tank begins
to build. It builds to a certain high pressure before the
motor automatically shuts off - protecting your air tank
from pressure higherthan itscapacity. Thehigh pressure
at which the motor shuts off iscalled "cut-out pressure."

GENERAL INFORMATION
You have purchased an air compressor unit consisting of
a 1 cylinder, single-stage air compressor pump, an air
tank, wheels, handle and associated controls and instru-
ments.
This air compressor requires no oil. Nowyou can enjoyall
the benefits of having an air compressor without ever
having to purchase, add or change oil.
Youraircompressorcan beused foroperating paint spray
guns, air tools, caulking guns, grease guns, air
brushes, sandblaster, or inflating tires and plastic toys,
spraying weed killers, insecticides, etc. An air pressure
regulator isusually necessary for most of the applications.
Separateair transformerswhich combinethe functions of
air regulation and/or moisture and dirt removal should be
used where applicable.
These accessories can be purchased from most Sears
stores or from the Sears Power Tool Catalog.
