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
