Serious injury may occur if repairs are
attempted with damaged, missing or removed
protective guards, shrouds or missing covers.
Serious burn injuries could occur from

lines and engine exhaust muffler during
operation, and even after compressor is shut
down for sometime.
Serious injury can result from attempting to
lift an object that is too heavy.
Serious injury may occur from loose debris
being propelled at high speeds from the
compressed air stream.
Serious injury or death may occur to you or
