SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WEAR ANSI Z87.1 APPROVED EYE PROTECTION - Always wear approved eye protection equipment that
provides both front and side eye protection when operating or servicing the compressor.
DO NOT EXCEED MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED OPERATING PRESSURE OF AIR-POWERED TOOLS OR
OTHER EQUIPMENT BEING USED - Spray guns and other low to medium pressure equipment can burst,
causing serious injury to user and bystanders. Read and follow all manufacturers' pressure recommendations
before connecting tools, sprayers, or other equipment to compressor. Use extreme care when using the
compressor with tires, inner tubes, and other inflatables, as excessive pressure or rapid inflation can cause these
items to burst.
CONNECT COMPRESSOR POWER CORD ONLY TO A PROPERLY GROUNDED POWER OUTLET USING
AN APPROVED 3-PRONG GROUNDED EXTENSION CORD - Using an improperly grounded outlet or extension
cord can result in shock or electrocution. Electrical wiring, outlets, extension cords, and current protection
devices such as fuses and circuit breakers must meet local electrical and safety codes, as well the requirements
of the National Electrical Code. A ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) device may be required for compressor
use outdoors, in garages, and in damp locations.
USE AN EXTENSION CORD THAT IS PROPERLY SIZED - Using an undersize cord can result in overheating of
cord and short-circuiting, resulting in fire and damage to property. Use a UL-listed extension cord rated to safely
handle the power requirements of the compressor.
DO NOT OPERATE IF FLAMMABLE VAPORS ARE PRESENT - The electric motor and pressure switch may
produce sparks, which can ignite flammable vapors and cause fire or explosion. Flammable vapors from
gasoline, solvents, adhesives, and other chemicals may drift some distance from the source, or build up in low
areas. Operate the compressor only in well-ventilated areas that are free of flammable vapors.
DO NOT OPERATE IN THE RAIN OR IN WET AREAS - Operating an electric compressor in wet conditions can
result in severe shock or electrocution. Operate only in dry conditions, using a properly grounded power outlet
that conforms to local and national electrical code requirements. An outlet with ground-fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protection is recommended for use outdoors or in garages, and may be required by local electrical codes.
DO NOT TOUCH COMPRESSOR HEAD OR TUBING WHEN UNIT IS OPERATING - Normal compressor
operation will cause tubing and other components to become extremely hot. Contact with hot parts can cause
serious burns. Allow unit to cool before handling or performing service.
