Know your power tool.
Read operator’s manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well
as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious injury.
n
Drain tank of moisture after each day’s use.
If unit will not be used for a while, it is best to leave
drain valve open until such time as it is to be used. This
will allow moisture to completely drain out and help
prevent corrosion on the inside of tank.
n
Risk of Fire or Explosion.
Do not spray flammable liq-
uid in a confined area. Spray area must be well ventilat-
ed. Do not smoke while spraying or spray where spark
or flame is present. Keep compressors as far from the
spraying area as possible, at least 15 feet from the
spraying area and all explosive vapors.
n
Risk of Bursting.
Do not adjust regulator to result in
output pressure greater than marked maximum pres-
sure of attachment. Do not use at pressure greater than
135 PSI.
n
If connected to a circuit protected by fuses,
use time-
delay fuses with this product.
n
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
do not expose to
rain. Store indoors.
n
Inspect tank yearly for rust, pin holes, or other im-
perfections that could cause it to become unsafe.
Never weld or drill holes in the air tank.
n
Make sure the hose is free of obstructions or snags.
Entangled or snarled hoses can cause loss of balance
or footing and may become damaged.

shock or fire.
n
Never use an electrical adaptor with this grounded
plug.
n
Check damaged parts. Before further use of the air
compressor or air tool, a guard or other part that
is damaged should be carefully checked to deter-
mine that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may affect
its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by an au-
thorized service center.
Following this rule will reduce
the risk of shock, fire, or serious injury.
n
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is
recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less
in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recom-
mended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the
cord.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line volt-
age resulting in loss of power and overheating.
n
Save these instructions.
Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this air com-
pressor. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these
instructions also.
