•  Only persons well acquainted with
these rules of safe operation should 
be allowed to use the unit.
 
Do not operate unit  
  if damaged during 
shipping, handling or use. Damage may 
result in bursting and cause injury or 
property damage.
 
 Do not  run  
  unattended. Leaving 
compressor in AUTO position may allow 
it to turn on inadvertently. To prevent 
this and possible damage from power 
surge, turn to OFF position after each 
use.
Since the air compressor and other 
components (filters, lubricators, hoses, 
etc.) used, make up a high pressure 
pumping system, the following safety 
precautions must be observed at all 
times:
1.  Read all manuals included 
with this product carefully. 
Be thoroughly familiar 
with the controls and the 
proper use of the equipment.
2.  Follow all local electrical and 
safety codes as well as in the US, 
National Electrical Code (NEC) and 
Occupational Safety and Health Act 
(OSHA).
3.  Only persons well acquainted with 
these rules of safe operation should 
be allowed to use the compressor.
4.  Keep visitors away and NEVER allow 
children in the work area.
5.  Wear safety glasses and 
use hearing protection 
when operating the pump 
or unit.
6.  Do not stand on or use the pump or 
unit as a handhold.
7.  Before each use, inspect compressed 
air system and electrical components 
for signs of damage, deterioration, 
weakness or leakage. Repair or 
replace defective items before using.
8. Check all fasteners at frequent 
intervals for proper tightness.
 
Motors, 
  electrical 
equipment and controls can 
cause electrical arcs that 
will ignite a flammable gas 
or vapor. Never operate or repair in or 
near a flammable gas or vapor. Never 
store flammable liquids or gases in the 
vicinity of the compressor.
 
 
 
Compressor parts may be hot 
even if the unit is stopped.
9.  Keep fingers away from 
a running compressor; fast moving 
and hot parts will cause injury and/
or burns.
10. If the equipment should start 
to abnormally vibrate, STOP 
the engine/motor and check 
immediately for the cause. Vibration 
is generally a warning of trouble.

safety Guidelines 
(Continued) 
11. To reduce fire hazard, keep engine/
motor exterior free of oil, solvent, or 
excessive grease.
 
Never remove or 
  attempt to adjust 
safety valve. Keep safety valve free 
from paint and other accumulations.
 
Never 
  attempt 
to repair or modify a tank! 
Welding, drilling or any other 
modification will weaken the 
tank resulting in damage from rupture 
or explosion. Always replace worn or 
damaged tanks.
 
Drain liquid from 
  tank daily.
13. Tanks rust from moisture build-up, 
which weakens the tank. Make sure 
to drain tank regularly and inspect 
periodically for unsafe conditions 
such as rust formation and corrosion.
14. Fast moving air will stir up dust 
and debris which may be harmful. 
Release air slowly when draining 
moisture or depressurizing the 
compressor system.

Do not 
  spray 
flammable materials in 
vicinity of open flame or near 
ignition sources including the 
compressor unit.
15. Do not smoke when spraying paint, 
insecticides, or other flammable 
substances.
16. Use a face mask/ 
respirator when spraying 
and spray in a well 
ventilated area to prevent 
health and fire hazards.
17. 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.
18. When spraying or cleaning with 
solvents or toxic chemicals, follow 
the instructions provided by the 
chemical manufacturer.
