SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

These precautions are intended for the personal safety of the user and others working
with the user. Failure to follow these instructions may result in a permanent loss of
vision, serious personal or even fatal injury, property damage, and/or tool damage.
Please take the time to read and understand them.
DANGER!
Potential hazard that will result in serious injury or loss of life.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away from the work area while operating
the compressor. Do not allow children to handle the compressor. Distractions can
affect the control over compressor.
• Never direct compressed air, dust, or dirt toward yourself, other people or animals
to reduce the risk of serious injury.
• Wear a face or dust mask or use a respirator in dusty environments or when
spraying paint.
• Never remove the pressure switch housing at anytime.
• Never use the compressor in a combustible environment or in the presence of
combustible materials, such as flammable chemicals, adhesives, gasoline or
solvents, as the internal combustion produces hot exhaust gases that may ignite
flammable materials. Failure to observe this warning can cause explosion and
serious personal injury or death.
• Risk of inhalation. Operate the compressor in an open area at a minimum of
12" (30 cm) away from any wall or object that could restrict the flow of fresh
air to ventilation openings. Do not use the compressor to spray chemicals, as
doing so may affect your lungs by inhaling toxic fumes. Use a respirator in dusty
environments or when spraying paint.
DANGER!
Potential hazard that will result in serious injury or loss
of life.
