General Safety
Information
(Continued)
2. Follow all local electrical and safety
codes as well as in the US, National
Electrical Code (NEC) and
Occupational Safety and Health Act
(OSHA).
3. Only persons well acquainted with
these rules of safe operation should
be allowed to use the compressor.
4. Keep visitors away and NEVER allow
children in the work area.
5. Wear safety glasses
and use hearing
protection when
operating the pump
or unit.
6. Do not stand on or use the pump or
unit as a handhold.
7. Before each use, inspect compressed
air system and electrical components
for signs of damage, deterioration,
weakness or leakage. Repair or
replace defective items before using.
8. Check all fasteners at frequent
intervals for proper tightness.
Motors, electrical
equipment and controls
can cause electrical arcs
that will ignite a
flammable gas or vapor. Never operate
or repair the unit near a flammable gas
or vapor. Never store flammable liquids
or gases in the vicinity of the
compressor.
Compressor parts may
be hot even if the unit
is stopped.
9. Keep fingers away from a running
compressor; fast moving and hot
parts will cause injury and/or burns.
10. If the equipment should start to
abnormally vibrate, STOP the
engine/motor and check
immediately for the cause. Vibration
is generally a warning of trouble.
11. To reduce fire hazard,
keep engine/motor
exterior free of oil,
solvent, or grease.
Never remove or
attempt to adjust
safety valve. Keep safety valve free
from paint and other accumulations.
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.
12. 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.
13. Fast moving air will stir up dust and
debris which may be harmful.
Release air slowly when draining
moisture or depressurizing the
compressor system.
This product or
its power cord
contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
SPRAYING PRECAUTIONS
Do not spray
flammable
materials in vicinity of open flame or
near ignition sources including the
compressor unit.
14. Do not smoke when spraying paint,
insecticides, or other flammable
substances.
15. Use a face mask/
respirator when
spraying and spray in
a well ventilated area
to prevent health and
fire hazards.
16. Do not direct paint or other sprayed
material at the compressor. Locate
compressor as far away from the
spraying area as possible to
minimize overspray accumulation
on the compressor.
17. When spraying or cleaning with
solvents or toxic chemicals, follow
the instructions provided by the
chemical manufacturer.
