WORK AREA
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents. Floor must not
be slippery from wax or dust.
Do not operate air compressors in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating an air compressor. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
Operate air compressor in an open area at least 18 in.
away from any wall or object that could restrict the
flow of fresh air to ventilation openings.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
Don’t expose air compressors to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering an air compressor will increase the
risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry
the air compressor or pull the plug from an outlet.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving
parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating an air compressor outside, use an out-
door extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords
are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric
shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Eye protection which conforms to ANSI specifications
and provides protection against flying particles both
from the FRONT and SIDE should ALWAYS be worn by
the operator and others in the work area when loading, operating, or servicing this product. Eye protection
is required to guard against flying fasteners and debris,
which could cause severe eye injury.
The employer and/or user must ensure that proper
eye protection is worn. We recommend a Wide Vision
Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety
glasses that provide protection against flying particles
both from the front and side. Always use eye protection
which is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
Additional safety protection will be required in some
environments. For example, the working area may
include exposure to a noise level which can lead to hearing damage. The employer and user must ensure that any
necessary hearing protection is provided and used by the
operator and others in the work area. Some environments
will require the use of head protection equipment. When
required, the employer and user must ensure that head
protection marked to comply with ANSI Z89.1 is used.

footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
air compressor in unexpected situations.
AIR COMPRESSOR USE AND CARE
Do not exceed the pressure rating of any component
in the system.
Protect material lines and air lines from damage or
puncture. Keep hose and power cord away from sharp
objects, chemical spills, oil, solvents, and wet floors.
Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each
use, making certain all connections are secure. Do not
use if defect is found. Purchase a new hose or notify an
authorized service center for examination or repair.
Release all pressures within the system slowly. Dust
and debris may be harmful.
Store idle air compressors out of the reach of children
and other untrained persons. Air compressors are dan-
gerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain air compressors with care. Follow mainte-
nance instructions. Properly maintained products are
easier to control.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
affect the product’s operation. If damaged, have the
