WHAT CAN HAPPEN
serious burn injuries can result from touching exposed
metal parts such as the engine or motor, pump, or any part
of the copper/braided discharge lines and components.
These parts will become hot during operation and stay
hot for an extended period of time even after the com-
pressor is shut down.
Serious injury or death can occur if moving parts such
as belts, flywheels, pulleys, or fans come into contact with
you or your clothing.
An electric air compressor can restart at any time when
plugged in, and an unexpected startup can result in se-
rious injury, death, or property damage
Attempting to operate the compressor with any dama-
ged or missing parts, protective guards, shrouds, or covers
will expose you to moving parts and can result in serious
injury or death
Serious injury can result from attempting to lift an object
that is too heavy
A compressor may vibrate and move during the course of
normai operation resulting in a fall from a table, workbench,
or other platform causing damage to the compressor, proper-
ty, and could result in serious injury or death to anyone.
