DANGER!
Potential hazard that will result in serious injury or loss of life.
• Keep children away from the work area. Do not allow children to handle
power tools.
• Keep air hose away from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Check air hose for
wear before each use and ensure that all connections are proper.
• A
lways ensure that the workpiece is firmly secured leaving both hands free
to control the tool.
• A
lways ensure that the tool has stopped before putting it down after use, in
the interest of safety and to prevent possible damage to the tool/user.
• K
eep proper footing at all times in order to ensure correct balance.
• Do not use oxygen or any other combustible or bottled
g
as to power air-powered tools. Failure to observe this
warning can cause explosion and serious personal injury
or death. Use only the compressed air to power airpowered tools.
Use a minimum of 25' (7.6 m) of hose to
connect the tool to the compressor. Failure to comply will

• Risk of personal injury: Do not direct compressed air from the air hose
toward the user or other personnel.
• Risk for breathing: Never directly inhale the air produced by the compressor.
• Risk of bursting: Do not adjust the pressure switch or safety valve for any
reason. They have been preset at the factory for this compressor’s maximum
pressure. Tampering with the pressure switch or the safety valve may cause
personal injury or property damage.
• Risk of burns: The pump and the manifold generate high temperatures. In
order to avoid burns or other injuries, do not touch the pump, the manifold,
or the transfer tube while the compressor is running. Allow the parts to cool
down before handling or servicing. Keep children away from the compressor
at all times.
• Risk of bursting: Make sure the regulator is adjusted so
that the compressor outlet pressure is set lower than the
maximum operating pressure of the tool. Before starting
the compressor, pull the ring on the safety valve to make
sure the valve moves freely. Drain water from tank after
each use. Do not weld or repair tank. Relieve all pressure
in the hose before removing or attaching accessories.
