RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE

It is normal for electrical contacts within the motor
and pressure switch to spark. Always operate the
compressor in a well-ventilated area free of com-
bustible materials, gasoline or solvent vapors. If
electrical sparks from compressor come into con-
tact with flammable vapors, they may ignite, caus-
ing fire or explosion. When spraying flammable
materials, locate compressor at least 20 feet (6m) upwind from
spray area. An additional length of hose may be required.
Store flammable materials in a secure location away from the com-
pressor.
Restricting any of the compressor ventilation openings will cause
serious overheating and could cause fire. Never place objects
against or on top of compressor. Operate the compressor in an
open area at least 3 feet (1m) away from any wall or obstruction
that would restrict the flow of fresh air to the ventilation openings.

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK

Your air compressor is powered by electricity. If it is
not used properly it could cause electric shock.
Never operate the compressor outdoors when it is
raining or in wet conditions.
Never operate compressor with guards or protec-
tive covers that are damaged or removed. Repairs
by anyone other than qualified personnel can result
in serous injury or death by electrocution. Any electrical wiring or
repairs required on this product should be performed by authorized
service center personnel in accordance with national and local
electrical codes.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do
not modify plug provided: if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation hav-
ing an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is
the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the
electric cord or plug is necessary do not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
If the Grounding Instructions are not completely understood or if
in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded, check with a
qualified electrician or service personnel.
Use only three-wire extension cords that have three-prong ground-
ing plugs and three-pole receptacles to avoid overheating.
THE USE OF A GFCI OUTLET IS RECOMMENDED AND MAY
BE REQUIRED IN CERTAIN AREAS.
Grounded tools intended for use on a supply circuit having a nom-
inal rating less than 150 volts: This tool is intended for use on a cir-
cuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Figure K.
The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in
Figure K. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrat-
ed in Figures L and M, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in Figure K if a properly grounded outlet is not
available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a prop-
erly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The
green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the
adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a prop-
erly grounded outlet box.
The adapter (M) is not for use in Canada.
