Safety Guidelines - Sanborn Mfg 200-2790 Manuel De L'opérateur

The following information relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. To help you recognize this
information, we use the following symbols. Please read the manual and pay attention to these sections.
DANGER:
– A POTENTIAL HAZARD THAT WILL CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.
WARNING:
– A POTENTIAL HAZARD THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.
CAUTION:
– A POTENTIAL HAZARD THAT MAY CAUSE MODERATE INJURY OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
WARNING
1. RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION. Never spray
flammable liquids in a confined area. It is normal for
the motor and pressure switch to produce sparks while
operating. If sparks come into contact with vapors from
gasoline or other solvents, they may ignite, causing fire
or explosion. Always operate the compressor in a well–
ventilated area. Do not smoke while spraying. Do not
spray where sparks or flame are present. Keep
compressor as far from spray area as possible.
2. RISK OF BURSTING. Do not weld, drill or modify the
air tank of this compressor. Welding or modifications on
the air compressor tank can severely impair tank
strength and cause an extremely hazardous condition.
Welding or modifying the tank in any manner will void
the warranty.
3. RISK OF BURSTING. Check the manufacturer's
maximum pressure rating for air tools and accessories.
Compressor outlet pressure must be regulated so as to
never exceed the maximum pressure rating of the tool.
Relieve all pressure through the hose before attaching or
removing accessories.
4. RISK OF BURNS. High temperatures are generated
by the gasoline engine, transfer tube, and the pump.
To prevent burns or other injuries, DO NOT touch
these items while the engine is running. Allow them to
cool before handling or servicing. Keep children away
from the compressor at all times.
5. RISK TO BREATHING. Be certain to read all labels
when you are spraying paints or toxic materials, and
follow the safety instructions. Use a respirator mask if
there is a chance of inhaling anything you are spraying.
Read all instructions and be sure that your respirator
mask will protect you. Never directly inhale the
compressed air produced by a compressor. It is not
suitable for breathing purposes.
6. RISK OF EYE INJURY. Always wear ANSI Z87.1
approved safety goggles when using an air compressor.
Never point any nozzle or sprayer toward a person or
any part of the body. Equipment can cause serious injury
if the spray penetrates the skin.
7. RISK OF BURSTING. Do not adjust the relief valve
for any reason. Doing so voids all warranties. The
relief valve has been pre-set at the factory for the
maximum pressure of this unit. Personal injury and
/or property damage may result if the relief valve is
tampered with.
RISK OF BURSTING.Do not use plastic or pvc pipe
8.
for compressed air. Use only gavanized steel pipe
and fittings for compressed air distribution lines.
9. RISK TO HEARING. Always wear hearing protection
when using an air compressor. Failure to do so may
result in hearing loss.

CAUTION
1. Drain the moisture from the tank(s) on a daily basis. A
clean, dry tank will help prevent corrosion.
2. Pull the pressure relief valve ring daily to ensure that the
valve is functioning properly, and to clear the valve of any
possible obstructions.
3. To provide proper ventilation for cooling, the compressor
must be kept a minimum of 12 inches (31 cm) from the
nearest wall, in a well–ventilated area.
4. Fasten the compressor down securely if transporting is
necessary. Pressure must be released from the tank
before transporting.
5. Protect the air hose from damage and puncture. Inspect
them weekly for weak or worn spots, and replace if
necessary.
6. OPERATE IN A CLEAN, DRY AND WELL VENTILATED
AREA. Do not operate this compressor in rain, snow or in
areas of standing water.
poisoning. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide,
an odorless and deadly poison. DO NOT operate in an
enclosed area. DO NOT mount or operate in an
enclosed vehicle, such as a van.
gasoline engine without the muffler properly installed;
doing so allows hot engine exhaust or sparks to vent
directly toward the gasoline tank.
and gasoline vapors are explosive. Sparking or heat
from engine, or from other sources, can ignite gasoline.
– DO NOT start or operate with fuel cap removed.
– DO NOT refuel while engine is running or still hot.
– DO NOT overfill the tank––there should be no fuel
in the filler neck.
– DO NOT start or operate if spilled gasoline or
smell of gasoline is present.
– Operate and refuel only in a well–ventilated area.
– DO NOT store where gasoline vapors can reach:
– an open flame
– a pilot light, such as in a stove, furnace or water
heater
– a spark.
WARNING: CONTAINS LEAD. May be
harmful if eaten or chewed. May generate dust
containing lead. Wash hands after use. Keep
out of reach of children.
