WARNING:
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire, and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
 Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents. Floor must not
be slippery from wax or dust.
 Do not operate air compressors in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
 Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while op-
erating an air compressor. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
 Operate 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 air compressors to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering an air compressor will increase the
risk of electric shock.
 Use this product only with batteries and chargers listed
in tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correlation
supplement 987000-432. Use of other battery packs or
chargers may create a risk of injury or fire.
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 others in the work area when load-
ing, operating, or servicing this product. 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.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

3 – English
 Additional safety protection will be required in some
environments. For example, the working area may in-
clude 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 com-
mon sense when operating the air compressor. Do
not use product while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating an air compressor 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 product in unexpected situations.
 Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
 Do not use on a ladder, rooftop, or any inclined, el-
evated, or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid
surface enables better control of the air compressor in
unexpected situations.
SERVICE
 When servicing a product, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may
create a risk of injury.
 Service must be performed only by qualified repair
personnel. Service or maintenance performed by un-
qualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
 Remove the battery pack, open drain valve to de-
compress tanks and allow water to drain, and allow
air compressor to become cool to the touch before
servicing. Turn pressure regulator knob fully counter-
clockwise after shutting off air compressor.
