Always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety glasses with side shields when the air
compressor is in use. Turn off the air compressor and drain the air tank before
performing any type of maintenance or disassembly of the hoses or fittings. Never point
any nozzle or sprayer toward any part of the body or at other people or animals.
Avoid using the air compressor in confined areas. Always have adequate space
(12 inches) on all sides of the air compressor. Also keep children, pets, and others out
of the area of operation. This air compressor does not provide breathable air for anyone
or any auxiliary breathing device. Spraying material will always need to be in another
area away from the air compressor to not allow intake air to damage the air compressor
filter.
Never utilize the air compressor in the rain or wet conditions. Any electrical issues or
repairs should be performed by authorized personnel such as an electrician and should
comply with all national and local electrical codes. The air compressor should also have
the proper three prong grounding plug, correct voltage, and adequate fuse protection.
Never operate the compressor near combustible materials, gasoline or solvent vapors.
If spraying flammable materials, locate the air compressor at least 20 feet away from
the spray area. Never operate the air compressor indoors or in a confined area.
Always drain the air compressor tank daily or after each use. If the tank develops a leak,
then replace the air compressor. Never use the air compressor after a leak has been
found or try to make any modifications to the tank. Never modify the air compressor’s
factory settings which control the tank pressure or any other function.
