IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION - A
HAZARD THAT MIGHT CAUSE SERIOUS
INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.
Information that you should pay
special attention to.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Avoid contact with metal components of the
compressor during or immediately after operation.
Reaching under or removing portions of the plastic
enclosures such as the console cover exposes hot
surfaces. Allow compressor to cool prior to
servicing.
If spraying a flammable material, provide ample
ventilation. Never spray in a closed area. There
must be a flow of fresh air at all times.
Always operate the air compressor in well-ventilated
areas, free of gasoline or other solvent vapors. Do
not operate the compressor near the spray area.
Do not adjust, remove or tamper with the safety
valve or pressure switch. If safety valve or pressure
switch replacement is necessary, a part with the
same ratings must be used.
Never replace the air tank with a different model or
a larger tank. Return to Sears Service Center if
replacement is required.
Never drill into, weld or in any way modify the air
tank. The tank may rupture or explode. If leaks
develop due to corrosion or tank is damaged, return
to Sears Service Center for replacement.
