● Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition
that may affect the compressor's operation. If
damaged, have the compressor serviced before
using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
compressors.
● Never point any tool toward yourself or others.
● Keep the exterior of the air compressor dry, clean,
and free from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth
when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, or any strong solvents to clean the unit.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of deterioration of
the enclosure plastic.
Service
● Compressor 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 compressor, 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.
DANGER: This compressor/pump is not equipped
and should not be used to supply breathing
quality air. Additional equipment would be
necessary to properly filter and purify the air
to meet minimal specifications for Grade D
breathing as described in Compressed Gas
Association Commodity Specification G 7.1 -
1996, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134.
Compressed Gas Association, 14501 George
Carter Way, Suite 103, Chantilly VA 20151-1788,
(703) 788-2700,
www.cganet.com. Any such additional
equipment has not been examined and no
implication of proper use for breathing air is
intended or implied.
If this compressor is altered in any way, existing
warranties shall be voided. Seller disclaims any
liabilities whatsoever for any loss, personal
injury, or damage.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
● Know your compressor. Read the operator's manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as
the specific potential hazards related to this compressor.
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 compressor can cause injury to
yourself and others.
● Never leave a compressor unattended with the
air hose attached.
● Do not operate this compressor 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 compressor,
or when a compressor 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.
