• Exposure to chemicals in dust cre-
ated by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other con-
struction activities may be harmful.
• Sprayed materials such as paint,
paint solvents, paint remover, insec-
ticides, weed killers, may contain
harmful vapors and poisons.
RISK OF BURSTING
Air Tank: On February 26, 2002, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
published Release # 02-108 concerning air compressor tank safety:
Air compressor receiver tanks do not have an infinite life. Tank life is dependent
upon several factors, some of which include operating conditions, ambient con-
ditions, proper installations, field modifications, and the level of maintenance.
The exact effect of these factors on air receiver life is difficult to predict.
If proper maintenance procedures are not followed, internal corrosion to the
inner wall of the air receiver tank can cause the air tank to unexpectedly rupture
allowing pressurized air to suddenly and forcefully escape, posing risk of injury
to consumers.
Your compressor air tank must be removed from service by the end of the year
shown on your tank warning label.
The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank, and result in
a violent air tank explosion:
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
•
Failure to properly drain condensed
water from air tank, causing rust
and thinning of the steel air tank.
•
Modifications or attempted repairs
to the air tank.
•
Unauthorized modifications to
the safety valve or any other
components which control air tank
pressure.
• Work in an area with good cross
ventilation. 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:
NIOSH/OSHA respiratory protec-
tion or properly fit ting face mask
designed for use with your specific
application.
HAZARD
HOW TO PREVENT IT
•
Drain air tank daily or after each
use. If air tank develops a leak,
replace it immediately with a
new air tank or replace the entire
compressor.
•
Never drill into, weld, or make any
modifications to the air tank or its
attachments. Never attempt to
repair a damaged or leaking air
tank. Replace with a new air tank.
•
The air tank is designed to
withstand specific operating
pressures. Never make adjustments
or parts substitutions to alter the
factory set operating pressures.
