Additional Safety Instructions for Air Compressors
1. AIR NOZZLE
Never aim an air nozzle directly at yourself or others.
Compressed air can break the skin, or enter the bloodstream
through soft tissue or a cut, and cause a stroke or death.
2. AIR COMPRESSOR STORAGE
DO NOT store the compressor while plugged into power. If a leak develops, the compressor may run continuously, causing overheating and possibly a fire .
3. UNATTENDED TOOLS
DO NOT leave before relieving the tool of air pressure and
disconnecting it from the air hose.
4. AVOID BURNS
DO NOT touch the motor or the air supply pipe,
they will become hot during operation.
5. COMPRESSED AIR USE
Do Not use the compressor for filling breathing or diving tanks.
Compressed air from this compressor cannot be used for pharmaceutical, food or health applications.
6. AIR HOSE
Make sure your air hose has a PSI rating exceeding the
maximum PSI of your compressor, is in good condition, and is long enough to reach your work without stretching. Make sure the air lines and power cord do not come in contact with sharp or abrasive objects.
7. PLASTIC (PVC) PIPE
DO NOT use plastic pipe for high pressure air lines. It could shatter, resulting in serious injury.
8. TANK CORROSION
Drain the tank after each use to prevent corrosion and possible tank rupture. Inspect the tank for unsafe conditions such as rust, pin holes and cracks.NEVER weld or drill holes in an air tank.
9. SAFETY VALVE OR PRESSURE SWITCHES
NEVER adjust safety valve or pressure switch to allow the
compressor to build higher PSI than rated.
Keep safety valve free from paint and other accumulations to
provide safety against over-pressure.
There is danger associated with the use of air compressors. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this air compressor with respect and caution to lessen the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.
