not allow the compressor to operate 

unattended.

•  Always  remain  in  attendance  with  the

product when it is operating.

•  Always turn off and unplug unit when not

in use.

•  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.

•  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.

•  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.

•  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.

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:

•  Failure to properly drain condensed water

from air tank, causing rust and thinning of 

the steel air tank.

•  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.

•  Modifications or attempted repairs to the

air tank.

•  Never  drill  into,  weld,  or  make  any

modifications to the air tank or its 

attachments. Never attempt to repair a 

damaged or leaking air tank. Replace 

with a new air tank.

•  Unauthorized modifications to the safety

valve or any other components which 

control air tank pressure.

•  The  air  tank  is  designed  to  withstand

specific operating pressures. Never make 

adjustments or parts substitutions to 

alter the factory set operating pressures.

•  Exceeding the pressure rating of air tools,

spray guns, air operated accessories, 

tires, and other inflatables can cause 

them to explode or fly apart, and could 

result in serious injury.

•  Follow  the  equipment  manufacturers

recommendation and never exceed the 

maximum allowable pressure rating of 

attachments. Never use compressor to 

inflate small low pressure objects such 

as children’s toys, footballs, basketballs, 

etc.

Tires:
•  Over  inflation  of  tires  could  result  in

serious injury and property damage.

•  Use  a  tire  pressure  gauge  to  check  the

tires pressure before each use and while 

inflating tires; see the tire sidewall for the 

correct tire pressure. 

 

NOTE: Air tanks, compressors and similar 

equipment used to inflate tires can fill 

small tires very rapidly. Adjust pressure 

regulator on air supply to no more than 

the rating of the tire pressure. Add air in 

small increments and frequently use the 

tire gauge to prevent over inflation.

•  Your compressor is powered by electricity.

Like any other electrically powered 

device, if it is not used properly it may 

cause electric shock.

•  Never operate the compressor outdoors

when it is raining or in wet conditions.

•  Never  operate  compressor  with

protective covers removed or damaged.

•  Repairs  attempted  by  unqualified

personnel can result in serious injury or 

death by electrocution.

•  Any  electrical  wiring  or  repairs  required

on this product should be performed 

by authorized service center personnel 

in accordance with national and local 

electrical codes.

•

Electrical Grounding: Failure to provide 

adequate grounding to this product 

could result in serious injury or death 

from electrocution. Refer to 

Instructions paragraph in the Installation 

section.

•  Make  certain  that  the  electrical  circuit

to which the compressor is connected 

provides proper electrical grounding, 

correct voltage and adequate fuse 

protection.

•  The  compressed  air  stream  can  cause

soft tissue damage to exposed skin and 

can propel dirt, chips, loose particles, and 

small objects at high speed, resulting in 

property damage or personal injury.

•  Always wear certified safety equipment:

ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA 

Z94.3) with side shields when using the 

compressor.

•  Never point any nozzle or sprayer toward

any part of the body or at other people or 

animals.

•  Always  turn  the  compressor  off  and

bleed pressure from the air hose and 

air tank before attempting maintenance, 

attaching tools or accessories.

PSIG: Pounds per square inch gauge; a unit of measure of pressure.

Code Certification: Products that bear one or more of the following marks: UL

®

, CUL, 

CULUS, ETL

®

, CETL, CETLUS, have been evaluated by OSHA certified independent safety 

laboratories and meet the applicable Standards for Safety.

Cut-In Pressure:  While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops as you continue to use 

your accessory. When the tank pressure drops to a certain lower level the motor will restart 

automatically. The low pressure at which the motor automatically restarts is called "cut-in" 

pressure.

Cut-Out Pressure: When an air compressor is turned on and begins to run, air pressure in 

the air tank begins to build. It builds to a certain high pressure before the motor automati-

cally shuts off, protecting your air tank from pressure higher than its capacity. The high pres-

sure at which the motor shuts off is called "cut-out" pressure.

Branch Circuit: Circuit carrying electricity from electrical panel to outlet.
