Safety Advice

DANGER!

1. 

RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION. 

Do not spray a flammable or combustible liquid or paint near 

sparks, flames, pilot lights or in a confined area. The spray area must be well-ventilated. Keep 
compressor at least 20’ (6 m) away from spray area. Do not carry and operate the compressor or 
any other electrical device near the spray area. Never smoke when spraying. Use a minimum of 
25’ (7.6 m) of hose to connect a spray gun to the compressor.

2. 

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. 

Do not expose to rain. Store indoors. Hazardous voltage. Disconnect 

from power source before servicing. Compressor must be grounded. Do not use grounding 
adaptors.

3. 

RISK OF BURSTING.

 Make sure the regulator is adjusted so that the compressor outlet pressure is 

set lower than the maximum operating pressure of the spray gun or tool. Before starting the 
compressor, pull the ring on the safety valve to make sure the valve moves freely (see diagram on 
page 17). Drain water from tank after each use. Do not weld or repair tank.
