WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK WARNING:
When using electric
powered tools, machines or equipment, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to minimize the
risk of electrical shock or personal injury to yourself and
others.
This air compressor is powered by electricity and should never be used
without properly grounded electrical connections. Do not use in wet or
damp locations or expose to rain.
WARNING
AIR TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES WARNING:
Do
not exceed the pressure rating of any air tools, spray
guns, air accessories, or inflatables. Excess pressure
can cause them to explode, resulting in serious injury.
Follow the manufacturers recommended pressure
settings for all air tools and air accessories.
WARNING
Do not direct compressed air stream at people or pets.
The powerful compressed air stream can damage
exposed skin and easily propel loose dirt and other
small objects. Always wear eye protection that meets
ANSI Z28.1 specifications.
WARNING
Keep hands and fingers away from exposed metal parts
on a running air compressor. Air compressors generate
significant heat during normal operation, which can
cause serious burns. The compressor will remain hot for
some time after operation and should not be touched or
moved until cool.

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Do not operate unit if damaged during shipping, handling, or use.
Damage may result in bursting and cause injury or property damage.
Since the air compressor and other components (filters, lubricators,
hoses, etc.) used make up a high pressure pumping system, the following
safety precautions must be followed at all times:
1. Read all manuals included with this product carefully. Be thoroughly
familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment.
2. Follow all local electrical and safety codes.
3. Only persons well acquainted with these rules of safe operation
should be allowed to use the compressor.
4. Keep visitors away and NEVER allow children in the work area.
5. Wear safety glasses and use hearing protection when operating the
pump or unit.
6. Do not stand on or use the pump or unit as a handhold.
7. Before each use, inspect compressed air system and electrical
components for signs of damage, deterioration, weakness or leakage.
Repair or replace defective items before using.
8. Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for proper tightness.
WARNING
Compressor parts may be hot even if the unit is
stopped.
9. Keep fingers away from a running compressor; fast moving and hot
parts will cause injury and/or burns.
10. If the equipment should start to abnormally vibrate, STOP the engine/
motor and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a
sign of trouble or a flaw within the machine.
11. To reduce fire hazards, keep engine/motor exterior free of oil, solvent,
or excessive grease. Never remove or attempt to adjust safety valve.
Keep safety valve free from paint and other accumulations.
WARNING
Motors, electrical equipment and controls can cause
electrical arcs that will ignite a flammable gas or vapor.
