Hazard Warnings (cont’d)

RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION

What could happen:

• Abrasive tools such as sanders and grinders, rotating tools such as drills, and

  impact tools such as nailers, staples, wrenches, hammers, and reciprocating saws

  are capable of generating sparks which could result in ignition of flammable materials.

• It is normal for the compressor motor and pressure switch to produce sparks while

  operating. If sparks come into contract with vapors from gasoline or other solvents,

  they may ignite, causing a fire or explosion.

• Exceeding the maximum pressure rating of tools or accessories could cause an

  explosion resulting in serious injury.

How to prevent it:

• Never operate tools near flammable substances such as gasoline, cleaning solvents,

  etc.

• Work in a clean, well ventilated area free of combustible materials.

• Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide or other bottled gases as power source for air

  tools.

• Use compressed air regulated to maximum pressure at or below the rated pressure

  of any attachments.

• Never connect to an air source that is capable of exceeding 90 psi .

• Always verify prior to using the tool that the air source has been adjusted to the rated

  air pressure range.

• Never spray flammable liquids in a confined area. Do not spray where sparks or

  flame are present.

• Do not smoke while spraying.

• Keep compressor as far from spray area as possible.
