HOW TO PREVENT IT

tacts within the motor and
pressure switch to spark.
• Always operate the compressor in a
well ventilated area free of combustible
materials, gasoline, or solvent vapors.
• If electrical sparks from com-
pressor come into contact with
flammable vapors, they may
ignite, causing fire or explosion.

away from spray area. An additional
length of air hose may be required.

location away from compressor.
• Restricting any of the com-
pressor ventilation openings

least 12" (30.5 cm) away from any wall
or obstruction that would restrict the flow
of fresh air to the ventilation openings.
