DANGER: RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• It is normal for electrical contacts
within the motor and pressure
switch to spark.
• If electrical sparks from
compressor come into contact
with flammable vapors, they may
ignite, causing fire or explosion.
• Restricting any of the
compressor ventilation openings
will cause
serious overheating and could
cause fire.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Always operate the
compressor in a well
ventilated area free of combustible
materials, gasoline,
or solvent vapors.
• If spraying flammable materials,
locate compressor at least 20 feet
(6.1 m) away from spray area.
An additional length of hose may
be required.
• Store flammable materials
in a secure location away
from compressor.
• Never place objects against or on
top of compressor.
• Operate compressor in an open area
at least 12" (30.5 cm) away from
any wall or obstruction that would
restrict the flow of fresh air to the
ventilation openings.
• Operate compressor in a clean, dry
well ventilated area. Do not operate
unit indoors or in any confined area.
• Unattended operation of this
product could result in personal
injury or property damage.
To reduce the risk of fire, do
not allow the compressor to
operate unattended.
DANGER: RISK TO BREATHING (ASPHYXIATION)
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• 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
contaminant's can cause serious
injury or death.
• Sprayed materials such as paint,
paint solvents, paint remover,
insecticides, weed killers,
may contain harmful vapors
and poisons.

• Always turn off and unplug unit
when not in use.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Air obtained directly from the
compressor should never be used to
supply air for human consumption.
In order to use air produced by this
compressor for breathing, suitable
filters and in-line safety equipment
must be properly installed. In-line
filters and safety equipment used
in conjunction with the compressor
must be capable of treating air to all
applicable local and federal codes
prior to human consumption.
• 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:
OSHA/MSHA/NIOSH respiratory
protection designed for use with
your specific application.
