• Release the ring. Air wilt stop escaping when the ring is
released. Any continued loss of air after releasing the
safety valve ring indicates a problem with the safety valve.
Discontinue use and seek service before continued use of the
air compressor.
If air leaks after the ring has been released,
or if the valve is stuck and cannot be actuated by the ring, do
not use the air compressor until the safety valve has been
replaced. Use of the air compressor in this condition could
result in serious personal injury.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
_When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a
hazard or cause product damage.
_ Always wear safety goggles or safety
glasses with side shields during power tool operation or when
blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
_ Atways release all pressure, disconnect
from power supply, and allow unit to cool to the touch before
cleaning or making repairs on the air compressor.
Humidity in the air causes condensation to form in the air tank.
This condensation should be drained daily and/or every hour,
using the instructions found in Draining the Tank.
The safety valve automatically releases air if the air receiver
pressure exceeds the preset maximum. Check the safety valve
before each use following the instructions found in Checking the
Safety Valve.
Inspect the tank yearly for rust, pin holes, or other imperfections
that could cause it to become unsafe.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics
are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial
solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to
remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in
contact with plastic parts. Chemical can damage, weaken
or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal
injury. Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wall-board,
spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated
wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass
chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes,
commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommend
using this tool for extended work on these type of materials.
However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is
extremely important to clean the tool using compressed air.
LUBRICATION
All the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount
of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal
operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication of the
bearings is required.
