HAZARD
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
RISK OF BURSTING
IT IS NORMAL FOR ELECTRICAL CONTACTS
WITHIN THE
MOTOR AND PRESSURE SWITCH
TO SPARK.
IF
ELECTRICAL
SPARKS
FROM COMPRESSOR
COME INTO
CONTACT WITH FLAMMABLE VAPORS, THEY MAY IGNITE,
CAUSING FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
RESTRICTING
ANY OF THE
COMPRESSOR VENTILATION
OPENINGS WILL CAUSE SERIOUS OVERHEATING AND
COULD CAUSE FIRE.
UNATTENDED OPERATION OF THIS PRODUCT COULD
RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
ALWAYS
OPERATE THE COMPRESSOR IN A
WELL VENTI-
LATED
AREA FREE OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASO-
LINE OR SOLVENT VAPORS.

LOCATE COMPRES-
SOR AT LEAST 20 FEET AWAY FROM SPRAY AREA.
AN
ADDITIONAL LENGTH OF HOSE MAY BE REQUIRED.
STORE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS IN A SECURE LOCATION
AWAY FROM COMPRESSOR.
NEVER PLACE OBJECTS AGAINST OR ON TOP OF COM-
PRESSOR. OPERATE COMPRESSOR
IN AN OPEN AREA AT
LEAST
12 INCHES AWAY FROM
ANY WALL OR
OBSTRUC-
TION
THAT WOULD RESTRICT THE FLOW OF FRESH AIR TO
THE VENTILATION OPENINGS.

PRESSURES.
FOR ESSENTIAL CONTROL OF AIR PRESSURE, YOU MUST
INSTALL A PRESSURE REGULATOR AND PRESSURE GAUGE
TO THE AIR OUTLET
OF YOUR COMPRESSOR. FOLLOW THE
EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDATION AND NEVER
EXCEED THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE PRESSURE RATING OF
ATTACHMENTS.
