SAFETY INFORMATION
• Risk of bursting. Do not adjust the pressure switch or relief valve for any reason. They
have been preset at the factory for the maximum pressure of this unit. If the pressure
switch or the relief valve are tampered with, personal injury or property damage may occur.
• Risk of burns. The pump and manifold generate high temperatures. To avoid burns or
other injuries, do not touch the pump, manifold or transfer tube while the unit is running.
Allow the parts to cool before handling or servicing. Keep children away from the
compressor at all times.
• Risk to breathing. Read all labels when you are spraying paints or toxic materials, and
follow the safety instructions. Use a respirator mask if there is a chance of inhaling
anything you are spraying. Never directly inhale the compressed air produced by a
compressor.
• Risk of eye injury. Always wear ANSI 287.1 approved safety goggles when using an air
compressor. Never point the nozzle or sprayer toward a person or any part of the body.
If the spray penetrates the skin, serious injury may occur.
• Never exceed the maximum working pressure of the tool.
• Never attempt to open the drain valve when the tank pressure is more than 10 PSI.
• You can create dust when you cut, sand, drill or grind materials such as wood, paint,
metal, concrete, cement, or other masonry. This dust often contains chemicals known
to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Wear protective gear.
CAUTION
• Pull the pressure relief valve ring daily to ensure the valve is functioning properly.
• The unit must be kept a minimum of 12 in. from the nearest wall, in a well-ventilated area
for cooling.
• Protect the air hose and electric cord from damage and puncture. Inspect them weekly for
weak or worn spots and replace if necessary.
• Always wear hearing protection when using an air compressor. Failure to do so may result
in hearing loss.
• Operation of the unit should always be in a position that is stable. Never use the unit on
a rooftop or elevated position that could allow the unit to fall or be tipped over.
