AIR COMPRESSOR

Inspect for Damage 

Before using the air compressor, make sure the air tank is not 
damaged, inspect all parts for damage, and check that all pipes 
are firmly connected. 

Do not use the air compressor if any damage is found. If 
damaged, have an authorized service center inspect and test the 
air compressor to ensure that is working properly. 

 

Save Packaging 

IMPORTANT: Save all outside packaging in case you ever need 
to return the product for service or repair. 

 

 

Compressor Location 

Use on Flat Surface 

For proper operation, the air compressor must be placed on a flat 
surface with an incline no greater than 15 degrees. 

Maintain a Clear Area 

It is very important that the air compressor is positioned so that 
there is adequate airflow around the machine. There must be at 
least 2 feet of obstacle-free space surrounding and above the air 
compressor. 

 

 

 

Use in Areas with Clean Air 

For proper operation and to maximize the longevity of the air 
compressor, it is very important that the air drawn into the air 
compressor is clean.  

The air compressor should not be used in areas where dust or 
particulates are in the air.  

This will damage the motor and impair proper operation.  

IMPORTANT:

 Always use the air filter, properly installed. 

Use caution to minimize risk of fire or explosion.

It is normal for the air compressor motor and 
pressure switch to produce sparks while operating. If 
sparks come in contact with vapors from gasoline or 
solvents, they may ignite and cause a fire or 
explosion.

Abrasive tools such as grinders, drills and other 
tools are capable of making sparks that can ignite 
flammable materials.

Always operate the air compressor a safe distance 
away from flammable items. Use in well-ventilated 
areas.

Never exceed the maximum rated pressure.

FIRE

WARNING

EXPLOSION

Dust or dust-like particulates caused by 
power-sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling or any 
other construction-like activities can contain 
contaminants that are harmful to breathe.

Always use your air compressor in a well-ventilated 
and clean area.

Never breathe the air that comes directly out of the 
air compressor or air hose. This air is not suitable for 
breathing.

Always wear approved safety equipment. When 
performing dust-creating activities, securely wear 
properly-fit face masks or respirators.

If you feel ill from breathing while operating your air 
compressor, stop and seek medical attention 
immediately.
