SAFETY GUIDELINES

Important Safety Information

The manufacturer cannot possibly anticipate every possible circumstance that might
involve a hazard. The warnings in this manual, and the tags and decals affixed to the
unit are, therefore, not all-inclusive. If you use a procedure, work method, or operating
technique that the manufacturer does not specifically recommend, you must satisfy
yourself that it is safe for you and others. You must also make sure that the procedure,
work method, or operating technique that you choose does not render the compressor
unsafe.
