vapors, or solid particles from the air
tank. Breathing these contaminant's
can cause serious injury or death.
• Air obtained directly from the
compressor should never be used to
supply air for human consumption.

compressor for breathing, suitable
filters and in-line safety equipment
must be properly installed. In-line
filters and safety equipment used
in conjunction with the compressor
must be capable of treating air to all
applicable local and federal codes
prior to human consumption.
• Sprayed materials such as paint,
paint solvents, paint remover,
insecticides, weed killers, may
contain harmful vapors and poisons.
• Work in an area with good cross
ventilation. Read and follow the
safety instructions provided on the
label or safety data sheets for the
materials you are spraying. Always
use certified safety equipment: OSHA/
MSHA/NIOSH respiratory protection
