injury.
11. Check hoses for weak or worn
condition before each use, making
certain that all connections are
secure.
12. Always shut off air pressure at
source and bleed off all pressure in
paint tank by gently pulling safety
valve ring before loosening knobs.
13. Regularly check to be sure gauge
and regulator are functioning
correctly. Also check that no paint or
other deposits are in the safety valve
inlet. In the event more than 50 psi
is applied to the tank and the safety
valve is clogged, the higher pressure
could damage the tank or result in
injury.
Do not spray flammable
materials in vicinity of
open flame or near ignition
sources including the
compressor unit.
14. Do not smoke when spraying
paint, insecticides, or other
flammable substances.
15. Use a face mask/
respirator when
spraying and spray in a
well ventilated area to
prevent health and fire
hazards.
16. Do not direct paint or other
sprayed material at the compressor.

Locate compressor as far away from
the spraying area as possible to
minimize overspray accumulation on
the compressor.
17. When spraying or cleaning
with solvents or toxic chemicals,
follow the instructions provided by
the chemical manufacturer.
