specting, maintaining, cleaning, replacing or checking any parts.
6 . VOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING
Do not carry the compressor while it is connected to its power
source or when the air tank is filled with compressed air. Ensure
the knob of the pressure switch is in the “OFF” position before
connecting the compressor to the power source.
7. STORE COMPRESSOR PROPERLY
When not in use, the compressor should be stored in a dry pla-
ce. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a lockable area when

If a guard or other part is damaged it should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Before further use of the compressor check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, mountings, air leak and any other conditions that may af-
fect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center
unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this Instruction Manual.
Defective pressure switches should be replaced by authorized
