English WARNING: RISK OF BURSTING Air Tank: The air tank on your Air Compressor is designed and may be UM coded (for units with air tanks greater than 6 inch diameter) according to ASME Section VIII, Div. 1 rules. All pressure vessels should be inspected once every two years. To find your state pressure vessels inspector, look under the Division of Labor and Industries in the government section of a phone book or call 1-800-4-DEWALT for assistance. The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank, and result in a violent air tank explosion: WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT • Failure to properly drain condensed water from air tank, causing rust and thinning of the steel air tank. • Drain air tank daily or after each use.

Never attempt to repair a damaged or leaking air tank. Replace with a new air tank. • Unauthorized modifications to the safety valve or any other components which control air tank pressure. • The air tank is designed to withstand specific operating pressures. Never make adjustments or parts substitutions to alter the factory set operating pressures. Attachments & accessories: • Exceeding the pressure rating of air tools, spray guns, air operated accessories, tires, and other inflatables can cause them to explode or fly apart, and could result in serious injury. • Follow the equipment manufacturers recommendation and never exceed the maximum allowable pressure rating of attachments. Never use compressor to inflate small low pressure objects such as children's toys, footballs, basketballs, etc. WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK WHAT CAN HAPPEN • Your air compressor is powered by electricity.
