can cause
soft tissue damage
to exposed skin
and can propel
dirt, chips,

attachments.
Excessive vibration can weaken the
air tank and cause rupture or
explosion
The tank is designed to withstand specific
operating pressures.
Never make
adjustments or parts substitutions
to alter the factory set operating
pressures.
For essential control of air pressure,
you must install a pressure regulator
and pressure gauge to the air outlet
(if not equipped)
