Compressed air can contain carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and/or other poisonous contaminants that can
cause death or serious injury. The air compressor is not designed, intended or approved for breathing air. Do
not use compressed air for breathing air applications without proper treatment. Do not use the compressor for
any gas other than air.
•
High voltage electricity can cause death or serious injury. All electrical installation or repair work must be
carried out by a licensed electrician.
•
DISCONNECT POWER SUPPLY BEFORE SERVICING.
•
Do not stand on the compressor or use it as a handhold.
•
High pressure air can cause death or serious injury. Do not bypass, modify or remove the safety valve. Do
not operate the compressor with a faulty safety valve or pressure gauge.
•
Do not direct the air stream at body, high pressure air can stir up dust and debris that may be harmful.
Release air slowly when draining condensation or depressurizing the compressor. Do not connect the
compressor to air handling equipment that cannot withstand the compressor’s maximum design pressure (refer
to the tank nameplate).
•
Rusted, cracked or damaged air receiver tanks can explode and cause death or serious injury and must be
replaced. Drain tank daily or after each use through the valve located at bottom of the tank.
•
Release compressed air from tank before servicing, do not weld drill or otherwise modify the air receiver tank.
•
Do not spray flammable liquids in a confined area. Do not smoke while spraying where sparks, flames or
other ignition sources (including the compressor) are present.
•
Do not direct paint or other sprayed material at the compressor. Locate the compressor as far away from the
spraying area as possible to minimize overspray accumulating on the compressor and/or clogging it’s air filters.
•
Motors, electrical equipment and controls can cause electrical arcs that may ignite a flammable gas or vapor.
Do not operate or repair the compressor in or near a flammable gas or vapor. Do not store flammable liquids
or gases in the vicinity of the compressor.
•
Before attempting to install, maintain, repair, store or transport the compressor, switch off the unit, tag and lock
