PREVENTING EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. To help you recognize this
information, we use the symbols below. Please read the manual and pay
attention to these symbols.
Indicates an
imminently hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will result
in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially
hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
which, if not avoided, may result in minor
or moderate injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some example of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, always wear
MSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator when using
such tools.
When using air tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of of personal injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Save these instructions
Improper operation or maintenance of this product could result in serious injury and
property damage. Read and understand all warnings and operation instructions before
using this equipment.
HAZARD
WARNING: Risk of explosion or fire
What Could Happen
It is normal for electrical contacts within
the motor and pressure switch to spark.
If electrical sparks from compressor come
into contact with flammable vapors, they
may ignite, causing fire or explosion.
Restricting any of the compressor
ventilation openings will cause serious
overheating and could cause fire.
Unattended operation of this product
could result in personal injury or
property damage. To reduce the risk
of fire, do not allow the compressor to
operate unattended.
How To Prevent It
Always operate the compressor in a
well ventilated area free of combustible
materials, gasoline, or solvent vapors.
If spraying flammable materials, locate
compressor at least 20 feet away from
spray area. An additional length of hose
may be required.
Store flammable materials in a secure
location away from compressor.
Never place objects against or on top of
compressor. Operate compressor in an
open area at least 12 inches away from
any wall or obstruction that would restrict
the flow of fresh air to the ventilation
openings.
Operate compressor in a clean, dry well
ventilated area. Do not operate unit
indoors or in any confined area.
Always remain in attendance with the
product when it is operating.
Always disconnect electrical power by
moving pressure switch lever to the off
position and drain tank daily or after
each use.
3 - ENG A11894
HAZARD
WARNING: Risk of Bursting
Air Tank: The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the tank, and result
in a violent tank explosion and could cause property damage or serious injury.
What Could Happen
Failure to properly drain condensed
water from tank, causing rust and
thinning of the steel tank.
Modifications or attempted repairs to
the tank.
Unauthorized modifications to the
unloader valve, safety valve, or any
other components which control tank
pressure.
Excessive vibration can weaken the
air tank and cause rupture or
explosion
ATTACHMENTS & ACCESSORIES:
Exceeding the pressure rating of air
tools, spray guns, air operated
accessories, tires, and other inflatables
can cause them to explode or fly apart,
and could result in serious injury.
Drain tank daily or after each use. If tank
develops a leak, replace it immediately
with a new tank or replace the entire
compressor.
Never drill into, weld, or make any
modifications to the tank or its
attachments.
The tank is designed to withstand specific
operating pressures. Never make
adjustments or parts substitutions to
alter the factory set operating
pressures.
For essential control of air pressure, you
must install a pressure regulator and
pressure gauge to the air outlet (if not
equipped) of your compressor. Follow the
equipment manufacturers recommendation
and never exceed the maximum allowable
pressure rating of attachments. Never use
compressor to inflate small low
pressure objects such as children’s toys,
footballs, basketballs, etc.
How To Prevent It
HAZARD
WARNING: Risk from Flying Objects
What Could Happen
The compressed air stream can cause
soft tissue damage to exposed skin and
can propel dirt, chips, loose particles,
and small objects at high speed,
resulting in property damage or personal
injury.
How To Prevent It
Always wear ANSI Z87.1 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.
Always turn the compressor off and
bleed pressure from the air hose and tank
before attempting maintenance, attaching
tools or accessories.
4 - ENGA11894
HAZARD
WARNING: Risk of Electrical Shock
What Could Happen
Your air compressor is powered by
electricity. Like any other electrically
powered device, If it is not used
properly it may cause electric shock.
Repairs attempted by unqualified
personnel can result in serious injury
or death by electrocution.
Electrical Grounding: Failure to provide
adequate grounding to this product
could result in serious injury or death
from electrocution.
See grounding instructions.
HAZARD
WARNING: Risk to Breathing
What Could Happen
The compressed air directly from your
compressor is not safe for breathing.
The air stream may contain carbon
monoxide, toxic vapors, or solid
particles from the tank. Breathing these
contaminants can cause serious injury
or death.
Sprayed materials such as paint, paint
solvents, paint remover, insecticides,
weed killers, may contain harmful
vapors and poisons.
How To Prevent It
Never operate the compressor outdoors
when it is raining or in wet conditions.
Never operate compressor with
protective covers removed or damaged.
Any electrical wiring or repairs required
on this product should be performed by
authorized service center personnel 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.
How To Prevent It
Air obtained directly from the compressor
should never be used to supply air for
human consumption. In order to use air
produced by this compressor for
breathing, suitable filters and in-line
safety equipment must be properly
installed. In-line filters and safety
equipment used in conjunction with the
compressor must be capable of treating
air to all applicable local and federal
codes prior to human consumption.
Work in an area with good cross
ventilation. Read and follow the safety
instructions provided on the label or
safety data sheets for the materials
you are spraying. Use a NIOSH/MSHA
approved respirator designed for use
with your specific application.
