Work Area Safety
•
Inspect the work area before each use. Keep work area clean, dry, free of clutter, and well-lit. Cluttered,
wet, or dark work areas can result in injury. Using the product in confined work areas may put you
dangerously close to cutting tools and rotating parts.
•
Do not use the product where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g., in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The product can create sparks, which may ignite the flammable
liquids, gases, or dust.
• Do not allow the product to come into contact with an electrical source. The tool is not insulated and
contact will cause electrical shock.
• Keep children and bystanders away from the work area while operating the tool. Do not allow children to
handle the product.
•
Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes, and other mechanical hazards in your work
area. Some of these hazards may be hidden from your view and may cause personal injury and/or
property damage if contacted.
•
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Ensure floors are not slippery from wax or dust.
• The compressed air directly from your compressor is not safe for breathing. The air stream may contain
carbon monoxide, toxic vapors, or solid particles from the air tank. Breathing these contaminants can
cause serious injury or death. Never use air obtained directly from the compressor to supply air for
human consumption. The compressor is not equipped with suitable filters and in-line safety equipment
for human consumption.
•
Never drill into, weld or make any modifications to the air tank or its attachments. Never attempt to repair
a damaged or leaking air tank. Replace with a new air tank.
•
The air tank is designed to withstand specific operating pressures. Never make adjustments or parts
substitutions to alter the factory set operating pressures.
•
Over inflation of tires could result in serious injury and property damage. NOTE: Air tanks, compressors
and similar equipment used to inflate tires can fill small tires very rapidly. Adjust pressure regulator on air
supply to no more than the rating of the tire pressure. Add air in small increments and frequently use the
tire gauge to prevent over inflation.
