• Unattended operation of this
product could result in per-
sonal injury or property dam-
age. To reduce the risk of fire,
do not allow the compressor
to operate unattended.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• The compressed air directly
from your compressor is not
safe for breathing. The air
stream may contain carbon
monoxide, toxic vapors,
or solid particles from the
air tank. Breathing these
contaminants can cause
serious injury or death.
• Exposure to chemicals in dust
created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction
activities may be harmful.
• Sprayed materials such as
paint, paint solvents, paint
remover, insecticides, weed
killers, may contain harmful
vapors and poisons.
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 condi-
tions, 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:
• Always remain in attendance with
the product when it is operating.
• Always turn off and unplug
unit when not in use.
HAZARD
RISk TO BREATHING (ASPHYxIATION)
• Never use air obtained directly
from the compressor to supply
air for human consumption. The
compressor is not equipped with
suitable filters and in-line safety
equipment for human consumption.
• 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 protection or properly fit-
ting face mask designed for use
with your specific application.
