Rules for Safe Operation
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible dangers. The safety
symbols, and the explanations with them, deserve your careful attention and understanding. The
safety warnings do not by themselves eliminate any danger. The instructions or warnings they
give are not substitutes for proper accident prevention measures.
Symbol Meaning
Safety Alert Symbol:
Indicates danger, warning, or caution, may be used in conjunction with other
symbols or pictographs. Always follow the safety precautions to reduce the risk
of fire, electric shock and personal injury.
Note: Advises you of information or instructions vital to the operation or maintenance
of the equipment

General Instructions for All Power Tools
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS!!!
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electrical shock, fire and/or serious
personal injury.
W
ORK AREA
• Keep your work area clear and well lit. Cluttered work surfaces and dark areas invite
accidents.
• Keep people not involved in the work, especially children away from the work area while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control of the tool.
• Do not operate power tools in an unsafe environment such as explosive atmosphere,
flammable liquids, gases and dust. A spark created by a power tool may ignite the fumes or
dust.
LECTRICAL SAFETY
E
• Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plug. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tool should electrically malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as radiators, pipes, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
• Do not operate power tools in the rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
increases the risk of electrical shock.
• Do not stress the power cord. Never carry the power tool by the cord or disconnect the plug
from the receptacle by yanking on the cord. Keep cord away from sharp edges, heat, solvents
and oil. Replace damaged cord immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electrical
shock.
• Use outdoor extension cords when operating the power tool outside. Outdoor power cords are
marked “W-A” or “W” and are rated for outdoor use. These cords reduce the risk of
electrical shock.
ROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
G
z Your compressor has a grounded, three-prong plug. If using an extension cord, it must be a
three-prong type. You must connect to a three-prong receptacle only. The third prong is for
grounding; do not remove or disable the third prong, as this will create an unsafe condition.
z Common household current is 110-120 volts. As long as your compressor is rated from 110-
120 volts, there will be no complications in using power from a household receptacle. Never
try to plug a tool designed for 110-120 Volts into a 220-240 Volt receptacle. 220V plugs and
outlets are shaped differently to prevent this.
z Only use rounded jacket extension cords, preferably listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories
(UL)
z Make sure the cord is rated for outdoor use, even if your application is indoors. Outdoor use
cords have the letters “WA” on the cord jacket.

ALL GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED TOOLS:
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electrical shock. Tools equipped with an electric cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided in any way. If the plug dose not fit the outlet, have the proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
The use of any Extension Cord will cause some loss of power. To keep this to a minimum and to
prevent overheating and motor burn out; use the table below to determine the minimum wire
size (A.W.G.) Extension Cord.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs, and 3-pole receptacles that
accept the tool's plug.

Repair or replace cords as soon as damage occurs. Never use a damaged cord.
Tools with three wire grounding plugs (that look like the plug illustrated in Sketch A in Figure)
are intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that look like the one illustrated in Sketch A in
Figure. A temporary adapter, which looks like the one illustrated in Sketches B and C, may be
used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Sketch B if a properly grounded
outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded
outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, etc. extending
