• Unattended operation of
this product could result in
personal injury or property
damage. To reduce the
risk of fire, do not allow
the compressor to operate
unattended.
HAZARD
DANGER: RISK TO BREATHING (ASPHYXIATION)
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• The compressed air directly
from your compressor is not
safe for breathing. The air
stream may contain carbon
monoxide, toxic vapors,
or solid particles from the
air tank. Breathing these
contaminants can cause
serious injury or death.
• Exposure to chemicals
in dust created by
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities may
be harmful.
• Sprayed materials such as
paint, paint solvents, paint
remover, insecticides, weed
killers, may contain harmful
vapors and poisons.
• Always remain in attendance
with the product when it is
operating.
• Always turn off and unplug
unit when not in use.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Never use air obtained directly
from the compressor to supply
air for human consumption.
The compressor is not
equipped with suitable filters
and in-line safety equipment
for human consumption.
• Work in an area with good
cross ventilation. Read and
follow the safety instructions
provided on the label or safety
data sheets for the materials
you are spraying. Always use
certified safety equipment:
NIOSH/OSHA respiratory
protection or properly fit ting
face mask designed for use
with your specific application.
HAZARD
WARNING: RISK OF BURSTING
Air Tank: On February 26, 2002, the U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission published Release # 02-108 concerning air
compressor tank safety:
Air compressor receiver tanks do not have an infinite life. Tank
life is dependent upon several factors, some of which include
operating conditions, ambient conditions, proper installations, field
modifications, and the level of maintenance. The exact effect of
these factors on air receiver life is difficult to predict.
If proper maintenance procedures are not followed, internal corrosion
to the inner wall of the air receiver tank can cause the air tank to
unexpectedly rupture allowing pressurized air to suddenly and
forcefully escape, posing risk of injury to consumers.
Your compressor air tank must be removed from service by the end
of the year shown on your tank warning label.
The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank,
and result in a violent air tank explosion:
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Failure to properly drain
condensed water from
air tank, causing rust and
thinning of the steel air tank.

HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Drain air tank daily or after
each use. If air tank develops
a leak, replace it immediately
with a new air tank or replace
the entire compressor.
