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.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
What can happen
Your air compressor is powered
by a battery. Like any other direct
current 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.
WARNING: RISK FROM FLYING OBJECTS
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.
WARNING: RISK OF HOT SURFACES
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
similar to these 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.
