 •  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 (G) 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.
