WARNING
Do not spray flammable materials in vicinity of open
flame or near ignition sources including the compressor
unit.
12. Never attempt to repair or modify a tank! Welding, drilling or any
other modification will weaken the tank, resulting in damage from
rupture or explosion. Always replace worn or damaged tanks. Drain
liquid from tank daily.
13. Tanks rust from moisture build-up, which weakens the tank. Make
sure to drain tank daily and inspect periodically for unsafe conditions
such as rust formation and corrosion.
14. Fast moving air will stir up dust and debris which may be harmful.
Release air slowly when draining moisture or depressurizing the
compressor system.
SPRAYING PRECAUTIONS
15. Do not smoke when spraying paint, insecticides, or other flammable
substances.
16. Use a face mask/respirator when spraying and spray in a well
ventilated area to prevent health and fire hazards.
17. Do not direct paint or other sprayed material at the compressor.
Place the compressor as far away from the spraying area as possible
to minimize overspray accumulation on the compressor.
18. When spraying or cleaning with solvents or toxic chemicals, follow
the instructions provided by the chemical manufacturer.
HOSE PRECAUTIONS
19. Inspect hose before use. Do not exceed working pressure marked
on hose. Do not twist, bend knot, or abrade hose. Do not wrap hose
around body.
20. Keep away from hot surfaces and chemicals.
WARNING
Arcing Parts. Keep the compressor/motor at least 6m
away from explosive vapour.
SAFETY
Installation and Grounding
NSTALLATION AND LOCATION
The compressor must be used on a stable and level surface. It must also
be used in a clean and well-ventilated area. The compressor requires an
unobstructed airflow and must be placed a minimum of 18 inches from
any walls or other obstructions.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a
cord that contains a grounding wire and an appropriate grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and regulations.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a three-
prong grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure 1. Make
sure that the product is connected to an outlet with the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product.
The use of a GFCI outlet is strongly recommended. The third prong is to
be used ground the tool and provide protection against electrical shock.
Never remove the third prong.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether
the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided; if
it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
DANGER
ELECTRIC SHOCK:
Improper installation of the
grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. If
repair or replacement of the cord is necessary, do not
connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal.
The wire with an outer surface that is green with or
without yellow stripes is the grounding wire.
