WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Compressed air from your
air compressor is not safe
for breathing. The air stream

ide, toxic vapors, or solid
particles from the tank.
Breathing these contam-
inants can cause serious

WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Exposure to chemicals
in dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding
and other construction ac-
tivities may be harmful.
• 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 instruc-
tions provided on the label
or safety data sheets for the
materials you are spraying.

Tank: On February 26, 2002, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission published Release # 02-108 concerning air com-
pressor tank safety: Air air compressor receiver tanks do not
have an infinite life. Tank life is dependent upon several factors,
some of which include operating conditions, ambient conditions,
proper installations, field modifications, and the level of mainte-
nance. The effect of these factors on the tank life is unpredict-
able. If proper maintenance procedures are not followed, internal
corrosion to the inner wall of the tank can cause the tank to
unexpectedly rupture allowing pressurized air to suddenly and
forcefully escape, posing risk of injury to consumers. Your air
compressor’s tank must be removed from service by the end of
the year shown on the tank warning label.
DANGER: Risk of explosion or fire.
