This manual contains information that is important for you to know and under­stand. This information relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING
EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. To help you recognize this information, we use the
symbols below. Please read the manual and pay attention to these symbols.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,

drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals
known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other repro­ductive harm. Some example of these chemicals are:

●

lead from lead-based paints

●

crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products

●

arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well venti­lated area, and work with approved safety equipment, always wear
MSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator when using
such tools.

When using air tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of of personal injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Save these instructions

Improper operation or maintenance of this product could result in serious injury and
property damage. Read and understand all warnings and operation instructions before
using this equipment.

HAZARD

WARNING: Risk of explosion or fire

How To Prevent It

What Could Happen

It is normal for electrical contacts within
the motor and pressure switch to spark.

If electrical sparks from compressor
come into contact with flammable
vapors, they may ignite, causing fire or
explosion.

Restricting any of the compressor venti­lation openings will cause serious over-
heating and could cause fire.

Unattended operation of this product
could result in personal injury or prop­erty damage. To reduce the risk of fire,
do not allow the compressor to operate
unattended.

Always operate the compressor in a well
ventilated area free of combustible

materials, gasoline, or solvent vapors.

If spraying flammable materials, locate
compressor at least 20 feet away from
spray area. An additional length of hose

may be required.

Store flammable materials in a secure
location away from compressor.

Never place objects against or on top
of compressor. Operate compressor in
an open area at least 12 inches away
from any wall or obstruction that would

restrict the flow of fresh air to the ventila­tion openings.

Operate compressor in a clean, dry well
ventilated area. Do not operate unit

indoors or in any confined area.

Always remain in attendance with the

product when it is operating.

Always disconnect electrical power by
moving pressure switch lever to the off
position and drain tank daily or after
each use.

WARNING: Risk of Bursting

Air Tank: The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the tank, and result
in a violent tank explosion and could cause property damage or serious injury.

How To Prevent It

What Could Happen

WARNING: Risk from Flying Objects

HOW TO PREVENT IT

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

The compressed air stream can cause
soft tissue damage to exposed skin and
can propel dirt, chips, loose particles,

and small objects at high speed, result­ing in property damage or personal injury.

Always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety
glasses with side shields when using the
compressor.

Never point any nozzle or sprayer
toward any part of the body or at other
people or animals.

Always turn the compressor off and
bleed pressure from the air hose and tank

before attempting maintenance, attaching
tools or accessories.

HAZARD

HAZARD

Drain tank daily or after each use. If

tank develops a leak, replace it immedi­ately with a new tank or replace the entire
compressor.

1. Failure to properly drain con-

densed water from tank, causing
rust and thinning of the steel tank.

2. Modifications or attempted repairs
to the tank.

3. Unauthorized modifications to the
unloader valve, safety valve, or any
other components which control
tank pressure.

Never drill into, weld, or make any modi-
fications to the tank or its attachments.

4. Excessive vibration can weaken
the air tank and cause rupture or
explosion

The tank is designed to withstand specific
operating pressures. Never make adjust-

ments or parts substitutions to alter the
factory set operating pressures.

For essential control of air pressure, you
must install a pressure regulator and
pressure gauge to the air outlet (if not
equipped) of your compressor. 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.

A

TTACHMENTS & ACCESSORIES:

Exceeding the pressure rating of air
tools, spray guns, air operated acces-
sories, tires, and other inflatables can
cause them to explode or fly apart, and

could result in serious injury.

HOW TO PREVENT IT

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

WARNING: Risk to Breathing

WARNING: Risk of Electrical Shock

HOW TO PREVENT IT

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

HAZARD

HAZARD

Your air compressor is powered by
electricity. Like any other electrically
powered device, If it is not used properly
it may cause electric shock.

Repairs attempted by unqualified per-
sonnel can result in serious injury or
death by electrocution.

Electrical Grounding: Failure to provide
adequate grounding to this product
could result in serious injury or death
from electrocution.

See grounding instructions.

Never operate the compressor outdoors
when it is raining or in wet conditions.

Never operate compressor with protec­tive covers removed or damaged.

Any electrical wiring or repairs required
on this product should be performed by
authorized service center personnel in
accordance with national and local electri­cal codes.

Make certain that the electrical circuit

to which the compressor is connected

provides proper electrical grounding,
correct voltage and adequate fuse pro­tection.

The compressed air directly from your
compressor is not safe for breathing.
The air stream may contain carbon

monoxide, toxic vapors, or solid parti­cles from the tank. Breathing these con­taminants can cause serious injury or
death.

Sprayed materials such as paint, paint

solvents, paint remover, insecticides,
weed killers, may contain harmful vapors

and poisons.

Air obtained directly from the compressor
should never be used to supply air for
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 consumption.

Work in an area with good cross venti­lation. Read and follow the safety
instructions provided on the label or
safety data sheets for the materials you
are spraying. Use a NIOSH/ MSHA
approved respirator designed for use

with your specific application.
