IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

 
 
When using your garage equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: 
 

1. 

 

Read all instructions. 

 
2. 

 

Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts. 

 
3. 

 

Do not operate equipment with a damaged cord or if the equipment has been dropped or damaged - 
until it has been examined by a qualified serviceman. 

 

3. 

 

Do not let cord or hoses come in contact with hot manifolds or moving fan blades. 

 

4. 

 

If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating equal to or more than that of the 
equipment should be used. Cords rated for less current than the equipment may overheat. Care 
should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled. 

 

5. 

 

Always unplug equipment from electrical outlet when not in use. Never use the cord to pull the plug 
from the outlet. Grasp plug and pull to disconnect 

 

6. 

 

To reduce the risk of fire, do not operate equipment in the vicinity of open containers of flammable 
liquids (gasoline). WARNING: Risk of Explosion: This equipment has internal arcing and sparking 
parts which should not be exposed to flammable vapors. This equipment is only suitable for 
installation in a garage having sufficient air circulation to be considered a non-hazardous location. 

 

7. 

 

Adequate ventilation should be provided when working on operating internal combustion engines. 

 

8. 

 

Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from moving parts. 

 

9. 

 

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use on wet surfaces or expose to rain. 

 

10. Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments. 

 

11. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they 

are NOT safety glasses.
