SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

 Know your air compressor. Read operator's manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well
as the specific potential hazards related to this product.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious injury.
 Drain tanks of moisture after each day's use. If unit will
not be used for a while, it is best to leave 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 tanks.
 Risk of fire or explosion. Do not spray 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. Keep compressors as far from the spraying
area as possible, at least 20 feet from the spraying area
and all explosive vapors.
 Risk of bursting. Do not adjust regulator to result in
output pressure greater than marked maximum pressure
of attachment. Do not use at pressure greater than 150 psi.
 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 tanks yearly for rust, pin holes, or other
imperfections that could cause it to become unsafe.
Never weld or drill holes in the air tanks.
 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.
