4.
To reduce the risk of electric
shock, do not expose to rain.
Store indoors.
5.
Ensure the hose is free of obstructions
or snags. Entangled or snarled hoses
can cause loss of balance or footing and
may become damaged.
6.
Use the air compressor only for its
intended use. Do not alter or modify the
unit from the original design or function.
Never weld or drill holes in the air tank.
7.
Never leave a tool unattended with the
air hose attached.
8.
Do not operate this tool if it does not
contain a legible warning label.
9.
Do not continue to use a tool or hose that
leaks air or does not function properly.
10. Do not attempt to pull or carry the air
compressor by the hose.
11. Your tool may require more air
consumption than this air compressor is
capable of providing.
12. Never direct a jet of compressed air
toward people or animals.
13. Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust
mask if the operation is dusty.
14. Do not use this air compressor to spray
chemicals. Your lungs can be damaged
by inhaling toxic fumes. A respirator
may be necessary in dusty environments
or when spraying paint.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1.
Avoid body contact with grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges,
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is grounded.
2.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
3.
Replace damaged cords/wiring
immediately. Damaged cords/wiring
increase the risk of electric shock.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY (EXTENSION CORDS)
WARNING: Keep the extension
cord clear of the working
area. Position the cord so
that it will not get caught
on lumber, tools, or other
obstructions while you are
working with a power tool.
Failure to do so can result in
serious personal injury.
WARNING: Check extension
cords before each use.
If damaged, replace
immediately. Never use the air
compressor with a damaged
cord since touching the
damaged area could cause
electrical shock resulting in
serious personal injury.
WARNING: Improperly
connecting the equipment-
grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electrical
shock
1.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that
have 3-prong grounding plugs and
3-pole receptacles that accept the air
compressor’s plug. Make sure your
extension cord is not damaged.
2.
When using the air compressor at a
considerable distance from the power
source, use an extension cord heavy
enough to carry the current that the
compressor will draw. An undersized
extension cord will cause a drop in line
voltage, resulting in a loss of power
and causing the motor to overheat.
Use the following chart to determine
the minimum wire size required in an
extension cord.
3.
Only use 100 feet or less round
jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s
Laboratories (UL).
4.
When operating a power tool outside,
use an outdoor extension cord marked
“W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated
for outdoor use and reduce the risk of
electric shock.
