Additional Safety Instructions
for Air Compressors
1. AIR NOZZLE. Never aim an air noz-
zle directly at yourself or others.
Compressed air can break the skin,
or enter the bloodstream through soft
tissue or a cut, and cause a stroke or
death.
2. AIR COMPRESSOR STORAGE.
DO NOT store the compressor while
plugged into power. If a leak develops, the compressor may run continuously, causing overheating and
possibly a fire.
3. UNATTENDED TOOLS. DO NOT
leave before relieving the tool of air
pressure and disconnecting it from
the air hose.
4. AVOID BURNS. DO NOT touch the
motor or the air supply pipe, they will
become hot during operation.
5. COMPRESSED AIR USE. Do not
use the compressor for filling breathing or diving tanks. Compressed air
from this compressor cannot be used
for pharmaceutical, food or health
applications.
6. AIR HOSE. Make sure your air hose
has a PSI rating exceeding the maximum PSI of your compressor, is in
good condition, and is long enough
to reach your work without stretching.
Make sure the air lines and power
cord do not come in contact with
sharp or abrasive objects.
7. PLASTIC (PVC) PIPE. DO NOT use
plastic pipe for high pressure air
lines. It could shatter, resulting in
serious injury.
8. TANK CORROSION. Drain the tank
after each use to prevent corrosion
and possible tank rupture. Inspect
the tank for unsafe conditions such
as rust, pin holes and cracks. NEVER
weld or drill holes in an air tank.
9. SAFETY VALVE OR PRESSURE
SWITCHES. NEVER adjust safety
valve or pressure switch to allow the
compressor to build higher PSI than
rated. Keep safety valve free from
paint and other accumulations to provide safety against over-pressure.
There is danger associated with the
use of air compressors. Accidents are
frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use
this air compressor with respect and
caution to lessen the possibility of
operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored,
serious personal injury may occur.
