Operating any tools or equipment under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication can cause personal injury to yourself and others.
Wear proper apparel. Remove your jewelry before using air compressor. Do
not wear loose clothing, necklaces, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry, which may
get caught in moving parts. Nonskid footwear and electrically non-conductive
gloves are highly suggested while working. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair.
Protect your eyes. The operation of any air compressor can result in foreign
objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage.
Always wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z28.1 specifications during air
compressor operation. Eyeglasses are not always safety glasses.
Be responsible for your hearing. Wear hearing protection during extended
periods of operation.
Use the right tool. Use tools properly and for their intended task. Do not force
a small tool to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. Using the right tool to do the
right job will make doing the job safer.
Check damaged parts before use of any air tools or attachments. A guard or
other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to ensure that it will
operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, or any other conditions
that may affect tool operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be
properly replaced. See replacement parts list for additional details.
Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure that your air compressor is in the OFF
position before plugging it into a power cord or electrical receptacle.
Store all maintenance tools away from the immediate area before turning ON
your air compressor.
Do not overreach. Proper footing and balance is a must at all times while using
tools. Unstable support may lead to personal injury. Do not stand on the tool.
Serious injury could result if the tool tips over or you accidentally contact tool.
Never leave the air compressor running unattended. Always turn the power to the
OFF position and do not leave the air compressor until it comes to a complete stop.
When using air accessories, consult the owner's manual provided by the
manufacturer. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to
yourself and others.

Always make sure the tool is in the OFF position and unplugged from the
electrical receptacle when making adjustments, changing parts, or perform-
ing any maintenance.
Secure work. When possible, the use of clamps or a holding device is much
safer than holding the work piece with your hands.
Keep protective guards in place and in proper working condition.
Maintain tools and equipment with care. They will function better and more
safely when kept clean and in good working condition. Keeping the air compres-
sor clean, dry, and free of grime will add to its life and performance.
Childproof the workshop. The use of master switches and padlocks is highly
recommended. Remove starter keys where applicable.
DRAIN LIQUID FROM AIR TANK DAILY
• Use the drain valve located on the bottom of the lower air tank to drain condensed
liquid. Failure to properly drain liquid from the tank will cause rust from moisture
buildup, which weakens the tank and could lead to a violent tank explosion.
Periodically inspect the tanks for unsafe conditions such as corrosion, cracked
welds, and leaks.
• Release air slowly when draining moisture or depressurizing the air compres-
sor. Fast moving air will stir up dust, dirt and debris that may be harmful.
RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION
Avoid dangerous environments. Do not spray combustible/flammable liquid in
a confined area. Spray area must be well ventilated. Do not smoke while spray-
ing or spray where spark or flame is present. Arcing parts — keep compressor
at least 20 ft. away from spraying area and all explosive vapors. Do not use
compressor near gasoline or other flammable materials. Operate the air com-
pressor in a well-ventilated area. Do not direct paint or other spray material
towards the compressor. Read and follow all safety instructions for the materi-
al you are spraying. Be sure to use an approved respirator designed for use with
your specific application.
RISK OF INJURY
Do not direct air stream at body. Use eye protection. Compressor starts auto-
matically. Do not touch MOVING PARTS. Keep guards in place. Compressor
does not supply breathable air.
