WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO AVOID IT
•
Electrical Grounding:
Failure to provide adequate
grounding to the compressor could result in serious
injury or death from electrocution.
•
Always make certain that the electrical circuit to
which the compressor is connected provides proper
electrical grounding, correct voltage, and adequate
fuse protection. If you are unsure, or have any
questions about proper electrical grounding, correct
voltage, or adequate fuse protection please call us
toll-free at 800-310-3573.
•
Your air compressor is powered by electricity. Like
any electrically powered device, if it is not used
properly it may cause electric shock.
•
Never operate the compressor outdoors when it is
raining, snowing, or in wet conditions.
•
Never let your electrical cord lay in water.
•
Never operate the compressor with a damaged
power cord, or with protective covers damaged or
removed.
•
Never touch plug with wet hands.
•
Never pull on electric cord to disconnect from the
outlet.
•
Serious injury or death can occur if repairs are
attempted by unauthorized personnel.

compressor should only be performed by ROLAIR
authorized service personnel and in accordance with
all national and local electrical codes.
WARNING: RISK FROM FLYING OBJECTS
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO AVOID IT
•
Serious injury and property damage can occur from
loose debris being propelled at high speeds from the
compressed air stream.
•
Always wear certified safety equipment: ANSI Z87.1
eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3) with side shields
when using the compressor.
•
Never direct the air stream, nozzle, or sprayer
towards any part of your body, other people, or
animals.
•
Always turn off the compressor and drain tank
pressure completely before attempting maintenance
or attaching air hose or tools.
WARNING: RISK OF HOT SURFACES
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO AVOID IT
•
Serious burn injuries can result from touching
exposed metal parts such as the engine or motor,
pump, or any part of the copper/braided discharge
lines and components. These parts will become hot
during operation and stay hot for an extended period
of time even after the compressor is shut down.
•
Never touch any of the exposed metal parts during
operation and for an extended period of time after
shut down.
•
Do not reach around shrouds or attempt any
maintenance until the unit has been allowed to
completely cool.
