General Safety
(Continued)
18. To avoid spontaneous combustion,
discard waste rags into approved
metal waste cans.
19. NEVER reset safety valve or pressure
switch. Keep safety valve free from
paint and other accumulations.
This provides safety against over
pressure.
Never remove or
attempt to
adjust safety valve. Keep safety
valve free from paint and other
accumulations.
20. Do regular maintenance; keep all
nuts, bolts, and screws tight, to be
sure equipment is in safe working
condition .
21. Keep cleaning rags and other
flammable waste materials in a
tightly closed metal container
and dispose of later in the proper
fashion.
22. Drain tanks of moisture after each
day's use. If unit will not be used
for a while, it is best to leave drain
cock open until such time as it is to
be used. This will allow moisture
to completely drain out and help
prevent corrosion of inside of tank.
23. Inspect tank yearly for rust, pin holes
or any other imperfections that
could cause it to become unsafe.
NEVER weld or drill holes in air tank.
24. Household use only.
25. To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
do not expose to rain. Store indoors.
Never attempt to
repair or modify a
tank! Welding, drilling or any other
modification will weaken the tank
resulting in damage from rupture or
explosion. Always replace worn or
damaged tanks.
Drain liquid from
tank daily.

SPRAYING PRECAUTIONS

Do not spray
flammable
materials in vicinity of open flame or
near ignition sources including the
compressor unit.
1. Spray in a well ventilated area, to
keep fumes from collecting and
causing health and fire hazards.
2. Do not spray in vicinity of open
flames or other places where
a spark can cause ignition. Do
not smoke when spraying paint,
insecticides, or other flammable
substances.
3. Use a respirator when spraying.
4. Do not direct paint or other sprayed
material at the compressor. Locate
compressor as far away from
the spraying area as possible to
minimize overspray accumulation
on the compressor.
5. When spraying or cleaning with
solvents or toxic chemicals, follow
the instructions provided by the
chemical manufacturer.
6. Do not smoke when spraying paint,
insecticides, or other flammable
substances.
7. Use a face mask /
respirator when
spraying and spray in a
well ventilated area to
prevent health and fire hazards.
8. Do not direct airstream at body.

Glossary of Terms

PSI (Pounds per Square Inch) -
Measurement of the pressure exerted
by the force of the air. The actual psi
output is measured by a pressure gauge
on the compressor.
SCFM (Standard Cubic Feet per
Minute) - Sometimes called CFM (Cubic
Feet per Minute). Measurement of air
volume delivered by the compressor.
Air Delivery - A combination of psi
and SCFM. The air delivery required by
a tool is stated as (number) SCFM at
(number) psi. The combination of these
figures determines what size unit is
needed.
Air Tank Capacity - The volume of
air stored in the tank and available for
immediate use. A large tank allows
the intermittent use of an air tool with
an air requirement higher than the
compressor's rated delivery.
Amps or Amperage - A measure of
the electrical force minus the resistance
on an electrical line. This air compressor
requires 15 amps for operation. Be
sure the compressor will operate on an
electrical line with the proper amps. If
other appliances operate on the same
line, they will reduce the available
amps. If the amperage is not adequate,
the result will be blown fuses or tripped
circuits.
Volts or Voltage - A measurement of
the force of an electrical current.
Cut-in / Cut-off Pressure - Specific psi
at which a compressor starts and stops
while refilling the air tank.
