WhAT cAn hAppen
• It is normal for electrical contacts within the
motor and pressure switch to spark.
• If electrical sparks from compressor come
into contact with flammable vapors, they
may ignite, causing fire or explosion.
• Restricting any of the compressor ventilation
openings will cause serious overheating
and could cause fire.
• Unattended operation of this product could
result in personal injury or property damage.
To reduce the risk of fire, do not allow the
compressor to operate unattended.
DANGER: RIsk To BREATHING (AspHyxIATIoN)
WhAT cAn hAppen
• The compressed air directly from your
compressor is not safe for breathing. The
air stream may contain carbon monoxide,
toxic vapors, or solid particles from the air
tank. Breathing these contaminants can
cause serious injury or death.
• Exposure to chemicals in dust created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities may be
harmful.
• Sprayed materials such as paint, paint
solvents, paint remover, insecticides, weed
killers, may contain harmful vapors and
poisons.
WARNING: RIsk of BuRsTING
Air Tank: On February 26, 2002, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission published
Release # 02-108 concerning air compressor tank safety:
Air compressor receiver tanks do not have an infinite life. Tank life is dependent upon several
factors, some of which include operating conditions, ambient conditions, proper installations,
field modifications, and the level of maintenance. The exact effect of these factors on air
receiver life is difficult to predict.
If proper maintenance procedures are not followed, internal corrosion to the inner wall of the
air receiver tank can cause the air tank to unexpectedly rupture allowing pressurized air to
suddenly and forcefully escape, posing risk of injury to consumers.
Your compressor air tank must be removed from service by the end of the year shown on your
tank warning label.
The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank, and result in a violent air
tank explosion:
WhAT cAn hAppen
• Failure to properly drain condensed water
from air tank, causing rust and thinning of
the steel air tank.
• Modifications or attempted repairs to the air
tank.
• Unauthorized modifications to the safety
valve or any other components which
control air tank pressure.

hoW To prevenT iT
• Always operate the compressor in a
well ventilated area free of combustible
materials, gasoline, or solvent vapors.
• If spraying flammable materials, locate
compressor at least 20' (6.1 m) away from
spray area. An additional length of air hose
may be required.
• Store flammable materials in a secure
location away from compressor.
• Never place objects against or on top of
compressor.
• Operate compressor in an open area at
least 12" (30.5 cm) away from any wall or
obstruction that would restrict the flow of
fresh air to the ventilation openings.
• Operate compressor in a clean, dry well
ventilated area. Do not operate unit in any
confined area. Store indoors.
• Always remain in attendance with the
product when it is operating.
• Always turn off and unplug unit when not in
use.
hoW To prevenT iT
• Never use air obtained directly from the
compressor to supply air for human
consumption. The compressor is not
equipped with suitable filters and in-line
safety equipment for human consumption.
• Work in an area with good cross ventilation.
Read and follow the safety instructions
provided on the label or safety data sheets
for the materials you are spraying. Always
use certified safety equipment: NIOSH/
OSHA respiratory protection or properly
fit ting face mask designed for use with your
specific application.
hoW To prevenT iT
• Drain air tank daily or after each use. If air
tank develops a leak, replace it immediately
with a new air tank or replace the entire
compressor.
• Never drill into, weld, or make any
modifications to the air tank or its
attachments. Never attempt to repair a
damaged or leaking air tank. Replace with
a new air tank.
• The air tank is designed to withstand
specific operating pressures. Never make
adjustments or parts substitutions to alter
the factory set operating pressures.
ATTAchmenTs & Accessories:
• Exceeding the pressure rating of air tools,
spray guns, air operated accessories, tires,
and other inflatables can cause them to
explode or fly apart, and could result in
serious injury.
Tires:
• over inflation of tires could result in
serious injury and property damage.
WhAT cAn hAppen
• Your compressor is powered by electricity.
Like any other electrically powered device, if
it is not used properly it may cause electric
shock.
• Repairs attempted by unqualified personnel
can result in serious injury or death by
electrocution.
• Electrical Grounding: Failure to provide
adequate grounding to this product
could result in serious injury or death
from electrocution. Refer to Grounding
instructions paragraph in the Installation
section.
WhAT cAn hAppen
• The compressed air stream can cause soft
tissue damage to exposed skin and can
propel dirt, chips, loose particles, and small
objects at high speed, resulting in property
damage or personal injury.

INSTALLATION
How To Set Up Your Unit
LocATion of The Air compressor
• Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area.
• The air compressor should be located at least 12" (30.5 cm) away from the wall or other
obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air.
• The air compressor pump and shroud are designed to allow for proper cooling. The
ventilation openings on the compressor are necessary to maintain proper operating
temperature. Do not place rags or other containers on or near these openings.
Grounding Instructions (Fig. 1)
WARNING: Risk of Electrical Shock. In the event of a short circuit, grounding reduces the
risk of shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This air compressor must be
properly grounded.
The portable air compressor is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an
appropriate grounding plug (A).
1. The cord set and plug (A) with this unit contains a grounding pin (B). This plug MUST be
used with a grounded outlet (C).
imporTAnT: The outlet being used must be installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
2. Make sure the outlet being used has the same configuration as the grounded plug.
DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER. See figure 1.
3. Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there are signs of damage.
4. If these grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether
the compressor is properly grounded, have the installation checked by a qualified electrician.
DANGER: Risk of Electrical Shock. IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL
SHOCK.
• D o not modify the plug provided. If it does not fit the available outlet, a correct outlet
should be installed by a qualified electrician.
• R epairs to the cord set or plug MUST be made by a qualified electrician.
• Follow the equipment manufacturers
recommendation and never exceed the
maximum allowable pressure rating of
attachments. Never use compressor to
inflate small low pressure objects such as
children's toys, footballs, basketballs, etc.
• Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tires
pressure before each use and while inflating
tires; see the tire sidewall for the correct tire
pressure.
noTe: Air tanks, compressors and similar
equipment used to inflate tires can fill
small tires very rapidly. Adjust pressure
regulator on air supply to no more than
the rating of the tire pressure. Add air in
small increments and frequently use the tire
gauge to prevent over inflation.
