English DANGER: Risk of Injury or Prop­er­ty Damage When Transporting or storing What can happen How to prevent it • Oil can leak or spill and could result in fire or breathing hazard; serious injury or death can result. Oil leaks will damage carpet, paint or other surfaces in vehicles or trailers. • Always place compressor on a protective mat when transporting to protect against damage to vehicle from leaks. Remove compressor from vehicle immediately upon arrival at your destination. Always keep compressor level and never lie on its side. 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 • Failure to properly drain condensed water from air tank, causing rust and thinning of the steel air tank. • Modifications or attempted repairs to the air tank. • Unauthorized modifications to the safety valve or any other components which control air tank pressure. 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. How to prevent it • Drain air tank daily or after each use. If air tank develops a leak, replace it immediately with a new air tank or replace the entire compressor. • Never drill into, weld, or make any modifications to the air tank or its attachments. Never attempt to repair a damaged or leaking air tank. Replace with a new air tank. • The air tank is designed to withstand specific operating pressures. Never make adjustments or parts substitutions to alter the factory set operating pressures. • 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.
