WA LT does not recommend the use of extension cords. T h i s
can create power loss and overheating of the motor. Use an
additional air hose rather than an extension cord. If use of an
extension cord is unavoidable, it should be plugged into a GFCI
found in circuit boxes or protected receptacles. When using an
extension cord, observe the following.
RISK FROM FLYING OBJECTS
The compressed air stream can cause soft tissue damage to
exposed skin and can propel dirt, chips, loose particles and small
objects at high speed, resulting in serious injury. Always wear A N S I
Z28.1 approved safety glasses with side shields when using the
c o m p r e s s o r. Never direct air stream at people or animals. Use only
O S H A approved air blow guns.
RISK TO BREATHING
The compressed air from your compressor is not safe
for breathing! The air stream may contain carbon
monoxide, toxic vapors or solid particles. Never inhale
air from the compressor either directly or from a
breathing device connected to the compressor.
Sprayed materials such as paint, paint solvents, paint
r e m o v e r, insecticides, weed killers, etc. contain harmful vapors and
poisons. N O T E : Operate air compressor only in a well ventilated
area. Read and follow the safety instructions provided on the label
or safety data sheets for the material you are spraying. Use a
N I O S H / M S H A approved respirator designed for use with specific
a p p l i c a t i o n .
RISK FROM MOVING PARTS
The compressor cycles automatically when the
pressure switch is in the O N / A U TO position. A l w a y s
turn off the compressor, bleed pressure from the air
hose and tank, and disconnect from power source
before performing maintenance or attaching tools
and accessories.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts. A i r
