GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING:
To avoid mistakes and serious injury, do not plug in your tool until the following steps have been read
and understood.
1. Use your air compressor in accordance with these instructions, taking into account working conditions and the
task at hand. Use of the compressor for operations other than its intended use could result in personal injury.
2. Always operate the compressor in a well ventilated area away from combustible materials, gasoline, or solvent
vapors. Your air compressor must be kept at least 20 feet away from explosive vapors.
3. Do not use your air compressor if the pressure switch does not turn on and off. An air compressor that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
4. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect
your air compressor’s operation. If damaged, have your air compressor repaired by a qualified service technician
before using it again. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained compressors.
