General SaFety
Since the air compressor and other
components (material pump, spray
guns, filters, lubricators, hoses, etc.)
used, make up a high pressure pumping
system, the following safety precautions
must be observed at all times:
Do not run
unattended. Leaving
compressor in AUTO position may allow
it to turn on inadvertently. To prevent
this and possible damage from power
surge, turn to OFF position after each
use.
1. Read all manuals included
with this product carefully.
Be thoroughly familiar
with the controls and the
proper use of the equipment.
2. Follow all local electrical and safety
codes as well as in the United States,
the National Electrical Codes (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 unit.
6. Do not stand on or use the 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 in or
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
vibrate abnormally, 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 excessive
grease.
Never remove or
attempt to adjust
safety valve. Keep safety valve free
from paint and other accumulations.
Never use plastic
(PVC) pipe for
compressed air. Serious injury or death
could result.
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,
cracked or damaged tanks.
Drain liquid from
tank daily.
12. Tanks rust from moisture build-up,
which weakens the tank. Make sure
to drain tank regularly 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.
