• Risk of personal injury: Do not direct compressed air from the air hose
towards the user or other persons.

• 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.
