• Your air compressor is powered by electricity. Like any other electrically powered device, if it is not used properly, it may cause electrical shock.
• Electrical grounding: failure to provide adequate grounding to this product could increase the risk of electric shock.
It is normal for electrical contact within the motor and pressure switch to spark, whenever the compressor starts or stops. Never operate the compressor in an atmosphere where flammable vapors are present. Doing so can result in serious injury to you or others.
• The compressed air from your compressor is not safe for breathing. The air stream may contain carbon monoxide or other vapors, or particles from the tank or other components.
• Sprayed materials such as paint, paint
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Any electrical wiring or repairs required to this product should be performed by qualified service personnel or a licensed electrician, 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.
• Never operate the compressor outdoors when it is raining, or in a wet environment.
• Always operate the compressor in a well­ventilated area, free of gasoline or solvent vapors.
• If spraying flammable materials, locate compressor at least 20 feet away from spray area.
• Store flammable materials in a secure location away from compressor.
• Never inhale air from the compressor, either directly or from a breathing device connected to the compressor. Work in an area equipped with good cross ventilation.
• Read and follow the safety instructions provided on the label or safety data sheet for the material you are spraying.

HAZARD
Risk to Breathing (continued)
Risk from Compressed Air
Risk from Moving Parts
Risk of Burn
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
solvents, paint remover, insecticides, weed killers, etc., contain harmful vapors and poisons.
• Breathing compressor or sprayed materials vapor can result in serious injury.
The compressed air stream can cause soft tissue damage, and can propel dirt, chips, loose particles and small objects at high speed, resulting in property damage or personal injury.
The compressor cycles automatically when the pressure switch is in the on/auto position. If you attempt repair or maintenance while the compressor is operating or plugged in, you can expose yourself to moving parts. These moving parts can cause serious injury.
Contact with hot parts such as the compressor head or outlet tubes could result in a serious skin burn.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Use an approved respirator designed for use with your specific application.
• Always wear 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.
