Risk of falling
• Portable air compressors can fall from a table, workbench, or roof causing damage to the
compressor and could result in serious injury or death to the operator. Always operate air
compressor in a stable and secure position to prevent accidental movement of the unit. Never
operate air compressor on a roof or other elevated position. Use additional air hose to reach high
locations.
Air tools and accessories
• Do not exceed the pressure rating of any air tool, spray gun, air accessories, or inflatables.
Excess pressure can cause them to explode, resulting in serious injury. Follow the manufacturer’s
recommended pressure settings for all air tools and air accessories.
Important Operating Instructions
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION & LOCATION
Caution:
In order to avoid damaging the air compressor, do not allow the unit to be tilted from the
normal position when operating.
The compressor must be run with the rubber feet resting on a flat and stable horizontal surface.
The air compressor must be used in a clean and well-ventilated area.The compressor requires an
unobstructed airflow and must be located a minimum of 20 inches from any walls or other
obstructions that may prevent proper ventilation.
Caution:
DO NOT place air compressor in an area:
•
Where there is evidence of oil or gas leaks.
•
Where flammable gas vapors or materials may be present
•
Where temperatures fall below 32°F or exceed 104°F.
•
Where extremely dirty air or water could be drawn into the air compressor.
WARNING: Serious injury or death may occur if electrical sparks from motor and pressure
switch come in contact with flammable vapors, combustible dust, gases, or other
combustible materials. When using the air compressor for spraying paint, place the air
compressor as far away from the work as possible, using extra lengths of air hose to
extend the working reach instead of extension cords.
