DANGER: RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE
What can happen How to prevent it
It is normal for electrical contacts
within the motor and pressure
switch to spark.
If electrical sparks from compressor
come into contact wit h flammable
vapors, they may ignite, causing
fire or explosion.
Restricting any of the compressor
ventilation openings will cause
serious overheating and could
cause a fire.
Unattended operation of t his
product could result in personal
injury or property damage.
To reduce the risk of fire, do
not allow the compr essor to
operate unattended.
CAUTION: RISK FROM NOISE

in a well ventilated area free of
combustible materials, gasoline, or
solvent vapors.
If spraying flammable materials,
locate compressor at least 20 feet
(6.1 m) away from spray area.
An additional length of hose may
be required.
Store flammable materials
in a secure locatio n away
from compressor.
Never place objects against or on
top of compressor pum p.

the product when it is operating.
Always turn off and unplug unit
when not in use.
DANGER: RISK TO BREATHING
(Asphyxiation)
What can happen How to prevent it
The compressed air di rectly from
your compressor is not safe for
breathing. The air stream may
contain carbon monoxide, toxic
vapors, or solid particles from
the air tank. Breathing these
contaminants can cause serious
injury or death.
Exposure to chemicals i n dust
created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities m ay
be harmful.
Sprayed materials such as paint,
paint solvents, paint remover,
insecticides, weed killers,
may contain harmful vapors
and poisons.

Air Tank:
Product Safety Commission published Release # 02-108
concerning air compressor tank safety:
Air compressor receiver tanks do not have an infinite
life. Tank life is dependent upon several factors, some of
which include operating conditions, ambient conditions,
proper installations, field modifications, and the level
of maintenance. The exact effect of these factors on air
If proper maintenance procedures are not followed,
internal corrosion to the inner wall of the air receiver tank
can cause the air tank to unexpectedly rupture allowing
pressurized air to suddenly and forcefully escape, posing
Your compressor air tank must be removed from service
Air obtained directly from the
compressor should never be
used to supply air f or human
consumption. In order to use air
produced by this compressor for
breathing, suitable filters and
in-line safety equipment must be
properly installed. In-line filters
and safety equipment used in
conjunction with the compressor
must be capable of treating air
to all applicable local and federal
codes prior to human consum ption.

any modifications to the air tank
or its attachments. Neve r attempt
to repair a damaged or leaking air
tank. Replace with a new air tank.
The air tank is designed to
withstand specific operating
pressures. Never make adjustm ents
or parts substitutions to alter the
factory set operating pressures.
Follow the equipment
manufacturers recommendation
and never exceed the maximum
allowable pressure rating of
attachments. Never use compressor
to inflate small low pressure
objects such as children’s toys,
footballs, basketballs, etc.
Use a tire pressure gauge to check
the tires pressure befor e each
use and while inflating tires; see
the tire sidewall fo r the correct
tire pressure.
NOTE: Air tanks, compressor s and
similar equipment used to inflate
tires can fill small tires similar to
these very rapidly. Adjust pressure
regulator on ai
than the rating of the tire pressure.
Add air in small increments and
frequently use the tire gauge to
prevent over inflation.
Never operate the compressor
outdoors when it is raining or in
wet conditions.
Never operate compressor wi th
protective covers removed
or damaged.
Any repairs required on this
product should be performed
