Read all instructions.

Know your power tool. Read the operator's manual 

carefully. Learn the applications and limitations as well as 

the specific potential hazards related to this tool.

woRk AReA sAfety

 

Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches 

invite accidents. Do not leave tools or pieces of wood 

on the tool while it is in operation.

 

Do not use in dangerous environments. Do not use 

power tools in damp or wet locations or expose to rain. 

Keep the work area well lit.

 

Keep children and visitors away. All visitors should 

wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance from 

work area. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension 

cord while operating.

 

Never use in an explosive atmosphere. Normal 

sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.

eLectRIcAL sAfety

 

Guard against electrical shock by preventing body 

contact with grounded surfaces, e.g., pipes, radiators, 

ranges, refrigerator enclosures.

 

Do not abuse cord. Never carry tool by the cord or 

yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from 

heat, oil, and sharp edges.

 

should any electrical component of the tool fail 

to perform properly, shut off the power switch, 

remove the plug from the power source and 

replace before resuming operation.

 

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. 

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of 

electric shock.

PeRsonAL sAfety

 

Stay alert and exercise control. Watch what you are 

doing and use common sense. Do not operate tool 

when you are tired. Do not rush.

 

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, neckties, 

or jewellery that can get caught and draw you into 

moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear 

are recommended when working outdoors. Also wear 

protective hair covering to contain long hair.

 

Always wear safety glasses with side shields. 

Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-resistant 

lenses; they are not safety glasses.

 

Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the 

operation is dusty.

 

Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during 

extended periods of operation.

 

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance 

at all times.

 

Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form habit of 

checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are 

removed from tool before turning it on.

AIR comPRessoR Use And cARe

 

Do not exceed the pressure rating of any component 

in the system.

 

Protect material lines and air lines from damage or 

puncture. Keep hose and power cord away from sharp 

objects, chemical spills, oil, solvents, and wet floors.

 

Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each 

use, making certain all connections are secure. Do not 

use if defect is found. Purchase a new hose or notify 

an authorized service center for examination or repair.

 

Release all pressures within the system slowly. Dust 

and debris may be harmful.

 

Store idle air compressors out of the reach of children 

and other untrained persons. Air compressors are 

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

 

Maintain air compressors with care. Follow 

maintenance instructions. Properly maintained 

products are easier to control.

 

Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, 

breakage of parts, and any other condition that may 

affect the product’s operation. If damaged, have the 

air compressor serviced before using. Many accidents 

are caused by poorly maintained products.

 

Keep the exterior of the air compressor dry, clean, 

and free from oil and grease. Always use a clean 

cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, 

petroleum-based products, or any strong solvents to 

clean the unit. Following this rule will reduce the risk of 

deterioration of the enclosure plastic.
