RISK OF BREATHING
Serious injury or death could occur from inhaling compressed air. The air
stream may contain carbon monoxide, toxic vapors or solid particles. Never
inhale air from the unit either directly or from a breathing device connected
to the unit.
Serious injury or death may occur from inhaling engine exhaust. This unit
was designed for outdoor use. Never operate this unit in an enclosed
area. Always make certain there is adequate ventilation (fresh outside air)
for breathing and combustion. This will prevent the buildup of dangerous
carbon monoxide gases. Beware of poorly ventilated areas, or areas with
inadequate exhaust fans.
Sprayed materials such as paint, solvents, paint remover, insecticides,
weed killers, etc. contain harmful vapors and poisons. Operate the unit
only in a well ventilated area. Follow all safety instructions provided with
the materials you are spraying. Use of a respirator may be required when
working with some materials.
Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing these fumes and gases
can be hazardous to your health. Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not
breathe the fumes.
Do not weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying operations.
The heat and rays of the arc can react with vapors to form highly toxic and
irritating gases.
Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium plated
steel. The coatings and any metals containing these elements can give off
toxic fumes if welded.
RISK OF BURNS
Serious injury could occur from touching exposed metal parts. These areas
can remain hot for some time after the unit is shutdown. Never allow any
part of your body or other materials to make contact with any exposed metal
parts on the unit.
Never allow any part of your body to contact the engine muffler, compressor
head or adjacent areas.
