What Could Happen
WARNING: Risk from Flying Objects
HOW TO PREVENT IT
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The
compressed air
stream
can cause
soft tissue damage
to exposed skin
and
can propel
dirt, chips,
loose particles
,
and small objects
at high speed
,
resulting in property damage or personal
injury.
Always
wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety
glasses with side shields
when using the
compressor.
Never point
any
nozzle or sprayer
toward
any part of the body or at other
people or animals.
Always
turn the compressor off and
bleed pressure
from the air hose and tank
before attempting maintenance, attaching
tools or accessories.
HAZARD
HAZARD
Drain tank daily or after each use.
If
tank develops a leak, replace it
immediately with a new tank or replace
the entire compressor.
1.
Failure to properly drain
condensed water from tank,
causing rust and thinning of the
steel tank.
2.
Modifications or attempted repairs
to the tank.
3.
Unauthorized modifications to the
unloader valve, safety valve, or any
other components which control
tank pressure.
Never
drill into, weld, or
make any
modifications to the tank
or its
attachments.
4.
Excessive vibration can weaken
the air tank and cause rupture or
explosion
The tank is designed to withstand specific
operating pressures.
Never make
adjustments or parts substitutions to
alter the factory set operating
pressures.
For essential control of air pressure,
you
must install a pressure regulator and
pressure gauge to the air outlet (if not
equipped)
of your compressor. Follow the
equipment manufacturers
recommendation and never exceed the
maximum allowable pressure rating of
attachments.
Never use compressor to
inflate small low pressure objects such
as children’s toys, footballs,
basketballs, etc.
ATTACHMENTS & ACCESSORIES:
Exceeding the pressure rating of air
tools,
spray guns, air operated
accessories, tires, and other inflatables
can cause them to explode
or fly apart,
and could result in serious injury.
