WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
•
The compressed air directly from
your compressor is not safe
for breathing. The air stream
may contain carbon monoxide,
toxic vapors, or solid particles
from the air tank. Breathing
these contaminant's can cause
serious injury or death.
•
Air obtained directly from the
compressor should never be
used to supply air for human
consumption. In order to use air
produced by this compressor
for breathing, suitable filters and
in-line safety equipment must be
properly installed. In-line filters and
safety equipment used in conjunc-
tion with the compressor must
be capable of treating air to all
applicable local and federal codes
prior to human consumption.
•
Sprayed materials such as
paint, paint solvents, paint
remover, insecticides, weed
killers, may contain harm-
ful vapors and poisons.
•
Work in an area with good cross
ventilation. Read and follow the
safety instructions provided on
the label or safety data sheets
for the materials you are spray-
ing. Always use certified safety
equipment: OSHA/MSHA/NIOSH
respiratory protection designed for
use with your specific application.
