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.
