DANGER: RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO AVOID IT
•
Electrical components within the motor and pressure
switch will spark. This is normal. If electrical sparks
from the compressor come into contact with
flammable vapors, they may ignite, causing fire or
explosion.
•
Always operate the compressor in a well-ventilated
area away from any flammable vapors, liquid, paint,
gasoline, or any other combustible material.
•
Always locate compressor at least 20 ft. (6.1m) away
from work area if spraying flammable materials.
•
Store flammable materials in a secure location away
from the compressor.
•
Inadequate ventilation, or restrictions to any of the
compressor’s ventilation openings, will cause serious
overheating and could cause a fire.
•
Never place objects against or on top of an air
compressor.
•
Always operate air compressor at least 18” away from
any wall or obstruction.
•
Always operate in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated
area.
•
Unattended compressors with leaks in the unit or air
system could start unexpectedly and repeatedly and
could result in overheating, fire, and personal injury or
property damage.
•
Always remain in attendance with the compressor
when it is operating.
•
Always turn off and unplug the compressor when it is
not in use.
•
A fire can occur if spilled gas or vapors come into
contact with hot engine parts, lit cigarettes, or other
sources of ignition.
•
Never attempt to fill the gas tank while the engine is
hot or running.
•
Add fuel outdoors and in a well-ventilated area.
•
Do not fill gas tank near lit cigarettes or near other
sources of ignition.
DANGER: RISK TO BREATHING (ASPHYXIATION)
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO AVOID IT
•
Air from your compressor is not safe for breathing and
may contain carbon monoxide, toxic vapors, or solid
particles. Serious injury or death may occur from
inhaling the compressed air from your air compressor.
•
Never inhale compressed air directly from the pump,
tank, receiver, or breathing device connected to the
air compressor.
•
The compressor is not equipped with suitable filters
and in-line safety equipment for human consumption.
Do not use discharge air for breathing.
•
Sprayed materials such as paint, stucco, insecticides,
solvents, etc. may contain harmful vapors and poisons.
•
Operate compressor and perform work only in a well-
ventilated area. Read and follow the safety
instructions provided on the label or safety data
sheets for the materials you are spraying. Always use
certified safety equipment designed for your specific
application.
•
For gas-powered compressors, engine exhaust fumes
contain poisonous carbon monoxide which is odorless
and colorless. Inhaling those fumes could lead to
serious injury or death.
•
Operate compressors only in well-ventilated areas.
Avoid inhaling engine exhaust fumes, and never run a
small gas-powered engine in a closed building or
confined area without adequate ventilation.
