Service
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
• Disconnect the power supply, open the drain valve to decompress the tank and allow water
to drain, and allow the air compressor to become cool to the touch before servicing. Turn the
pressure regulator knob fully counterclockwise after shutting off the compressor.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow the instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow the
Maintenance instructions may create a risk of injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
• Know your power tool. Read the operator's manual carefully. Learn its applications and limitations,
as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
• Drain the tank of moisture after each day's use.
If the unit will not be used for a while, it is best to leave the drain valve open until such time as it is to
be used. This will allow moisture to completely drain out and help prevent corrosion on the inside of
tank.
• Risk of Fire or Explosion. Do not spray flammable liquid in a confined area. The spray area must
be well ventilated. Do not smoke while spraying or spray where sparks or a flame is present. Keep
compressors as far from the spraying area as possible, at least 15 feet from the spraying area and
all explosive vapors.
• Risk of Bursting. Do not adjust the regulator to result in output pressure greater than the marked
maximum pressure of the attachment. Do not use at a pressure greater than the rated maximum
pressure of this compressor.
• If connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use time-delay fuses with this product.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to rain. Store indoors.
• Inspect the tank yearly for rust, pin holes, or other imperfections that could cause it to
become unsafe. Never weld or drill holes in the air tank.
• Make sure the hose is free of obstructions or snags. Entangled or snarled hoses can cause loss
of balance or footing and may become damaged.
• Use the air compressor only for its intended use. Do not alter or modify the unit from the
original design or function.
• Always be aware that misuse and improper handling of this tool can cause injury to yourself
and others.
• Never leave a tool unattended with the air hose attached.
• Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a legible warning label.
• Do not continue to use a tool or hose that leaks air or does not function properly.
• Always disconnect the air supply and power supply before making adjustments, servicing a tool,
or when a tool is not in use.
• Do not attempt to pull or carry the air compressor by the hose.
• Your tool may require more air consumption than this air compressor is capable of
providing.
• When a combustible liquid is sprayed there can be danger of fire or explosion, especially in a
closed area. Read instruction manual before operating.
• Arcing parts. Use spray gun hose at least 25 feet long and keep the compressor/motor at least 20
feet away from explosive vapors.
• Always follow all safety rules recommended by the manufacturer of your tool, in addition to
all safety rules for the air compressor. Following these rules will reduce
the risk of serious personal injury.
