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
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 overheating 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.
How To Prevent It
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.

HAZARD
WARNING: Risk from Flying Objects
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.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
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
WARNING: Risk of Electrical Shock
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
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 personnel 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.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
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.
HAZARD
WARNING: Risk to Breathing
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
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.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
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.

HAZARD
WARNING: RISK OF BURNS
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Touching exposed metal such as the compressor head or outlet tubes, can result in serious burns.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Never touch any exposed metal parts on compressor during or immediately after operation. Compressor will remain hot for several minutes after operation.
Do not reach around protective shrouds or attempt maintenance until unit has been allowed to cool.

ON-RECEIPT INSPECTION
Each air compressor outfit is carefully checked before shipment. With improper handling, damage may result in transit and cause problems in air compressor operation.
Immediately upon arrival, check equipment for both concealed and visible damages to avoid expenses being incurred to correct such problems. This should be done regardless of any visible signs of damage to the shipping container.
Report any damages to carrier and arrange for inspection of goods immediately.
For the location or a listing of the nearest Authorized Warranty Service Center, call our toll free number at 1-800-888-2468, Ext. 2.
NOTE: Photographs and line drawings used in this manual are for reference only and do not represent a specific model.
GLOSSARY
Become familiar with these terms before operating the unit. 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. Code Certification: Products that bear one or more of the following marks: UL, CUL, ETL, CETL, have been evaluated by OSHA certified independent safety laboratories and meet the applicable Underwriters Laboratories Standards for Safety.
Cut-In Pressure: While the motor is off, air tank 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 restarts is called “cut-in” pressure.
Cut-Out Pressure: When an air compressor is turned on and 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 higher than its capacity. The high pressure at which the motor shuts off is called “cut-out” pressure.
Branch Circuit: Circuit carrying electricity from electrical panel to outlet.
DUTY CYCLE
Air compressors should be operated on not more than a 50% duty cycle. This means an air compressor that pumps air more than 50% of one hour is considered misuse, because the air compressor is undersized for the required air demand. Maximum compressor pumping time per hour is 30 minutes.
ACCESSORIES
Accessories for this unit are available at the store the unit was purchased.
