Keep protective guards in place
and in proper working condition.
Maintain tools and equipment with
care. they will function better and
more safely when kept clean and in
good working condition. Keeping
the air compressor
clean, dry, and free of grime will
add to its life and performance.
Childproof the workshop. The use
of master switches and padlocks is
highly recommended. Remove
starter keys where applicable.
Drain liquid from air tank daily
Use the drain valve located on the
bottom of the lower air tank to drain.
Failure to properly drain liquid from
the tank will cause rust from
moisture buildup, which weakens
the tank and could lead to a violent
tank explosion. Periodically inspect
the tanks for unsafe conditions such
as corrosion, cracked welds, and
leaks.
Release air slowly when draining
moisture or depressurizing the air
compressor. Fast moving air will stir
up dust, dirt, and debris, and may
be harmful.
Risk of fire or explosion
Avoid dangerous environments.
Do not spray
combustible/flammable liquid in a
confined area. Spray area must be
well ventilated. Do not smoke while
spraying or spray where spark or
flame is present. Arcing parts -
keep compressor at least 20 ft.
away from spraying area and all
explosive vapors. Do not use
compressor near gasoline or other
flammable materials.
Operate the air compressor in a
well-ventilated area. Do not direct
paint or other spray material
towards the compressor. Read and
follow all safety instructions for the
material you are spraying.
Risk of injury
Do not direct air stream at body.
Use eye protection. Compressor
starts automatically. Do not touch
moving parts. Keep guards in place.
Compressor does not supply
breathable air.
Risk of bursting
Do not adjust regulator to result in
output pressure greater than
marked maximum pressure of
attachment. If a regulator has not
been installed, use only attachment
rated at 200 PSI or higher. Do not
weld on or repair tank - A
DAMAGED TANK MUST BE
REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. Do
not operate without proper safety
valve in place.
Never attempt to repair or make
modifications to the tank or its
attachments. Welding, drilling, or
any other modifications may
weaken the tank, which may result
in damage from rupture or
explosion. Never remove or attempt
to adjust the pressure switch, safety
valve, or other components that
control tank pressure. Never
substitute parts or attempt to alter
the factory set operating pressures.
Risk of burns
Touching exposed metal such as
the compressor head or exhaust
tube can result in serious burns.
Keep
hands and fingers away from
exposed metal parts on air
compressor during or
immediately after operation. Air
compressors generate significant
heat during normal operation and
will remain hot for some time
after use. Do not reach around
protective shrouds or attempt any
maintenance until compressor
has been allowed to cool.
Risk of flying objects
Do not direct compressed air
stream at people or pets. The
powerful compressed air stream
can damage exposed skin and
easily propel loose dirt and other
small objects at high-speed,
resulting in serious injury. Always
wear eye protection that meets
ANSI Z28.1 specifications. Use
only OSHA approved air
blowguns. Never leave a
pressurized air compressor
unattended. Shut OFF air
compressor and relieve pressure
before performing maintenance
or repairs. Do not move the air
compressor while the air tank is
pressurized. Never attempt to
move the air compressor by
pulling on the air hose.
Risk of falling
Portable air compressors can fall
from a table, workbench, or roof
causing damage to the
compressor and could result in
serious injury or death to the
operator. Always operate air
compressor in a stable and
secure position to prevent
accidental movement of the unit.
Never operate air compressor on
a roof or other elevated position.
Use additional air hose to reach
high locations.
