GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING: Read and understand all instructions.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious
personal injury.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, do
not attempt to use this product until you read
thoroughly and understand completely the
operator's manual. Save this operator's manual
and review frequently for continuing safe
operation and instructing others who may use
this product.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work area
● Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents. The floor must not
be slippery from wax or dust.
● Do not operate compressor in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Compressors create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
● Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating compressor and tools. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
● Operate the air compressor in an open area at
least 18 in. away from any wall or object that
could restrict the flow of fresh air to ventilation
openings.
Electrical safety
● Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
● Don't expose compressor to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a compressor will increase
the risk of electric shock.
● Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to
carry the compressor or pull the plug from an
outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged
cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
● When operating a compressor outside, use an
outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W".
These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk
of electric shock.
Personal safety
● Eye protection which conforms to ANSI
specifications and provides protection against
flying particles both from the FRONT and SIDE
should ALWAYS be worn by the operator and
6
others in the work area when loading, operating,
or servicing this compressor. Eye protection is required
to guard against flying fasteners and debris, which could
cause severe eye injury.
● The employer and/or user must ensure that
proper eye protection is worn. We recommend a Wide
Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety
glasses that provide protection against flying particles both
from the front and side. Always use eye protection which is
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
● Additional safety protection will be required in
some environments. For example, the working area
may include exposure to a noise level which can lead to
hearing damage. The employer and user must ensure that
any necessary hearing protection is provided and used by
the operator and others in the work area. Some environments
will require the use of head protection equipment. When
required, the employer and user must ensure that head
protection marked to comply with ANSI Z89.1 is used.
● Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use
common sense when operating a compressor. Do
not use compressor and tools while tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating compressors may
result in serious personal injury.
● Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
● Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
● Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. A dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
● Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the tool
in unexpected situations.
Compressor use and care
● Do not exceed the pressure rating of any
component in the system.
● Protect material lines and air lines from damage
or puncture. Keep the hose and power cord away from
sharp objects, chemical spills, oil, solvents, and wet floors.
● Check hoses for weak or worn condition before
each use, making certain all connections are
secure. Do not use if a defect is found. Purchase a new
hose or notify an authorized service center for examination
or repair.
● Release the pressure within the system slowly.
Dust and debris may be harmful.
● Store idle tools out of the reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
● Maintain tools with care. Follow maintenance
instructions. Properly maintained tools are easier to control.
