English SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE  REFERENCE DANGER: RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE What can happen It is normal for electrical contacts within the motor and pressure switch to spark. How to prevent it Always operate the compressor in a well ventilated area free of combustible materials, gasoline, or solvent vapors. If electrical sparks from compressor come into contact with flammable vapors, they may ignite, causing fire or explosion. If spraying flammable materials, locate compressor at least 20 feet (6.1 m) away from spray area. An additional length of hose may be required. Store flammable materials in a secure location away from compressor. Restricting any of the compressor ventilation openings will cause serious overheating and could cause fire. Never place objects against or on top of compressor pump. Operate compressor in an open area at least 12" (30.5 cm) away from any wall or obstruction that would restrict the flow of fresh air to the ventilation openings. Operate compressor in a clean, dry well ventilated area. Do not operate unit indoors or in any confined area. Unattended operation of this Always remain in attendance with product could result in personal the product when it is operating. injury or property damage. To reduce the risk of fire, do Always turn off and unplug unit not allow the compressor to when not in use. operate unattended. CAUTION: RISK FROM NOISE What can happen How to prevent it Under some conditions and Always wear certified safety duration of use, noise from equipment: ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) this product may contribute to hearing protection. hearing loss. DANGER: RISK TO BREATHING (Asphyxiation) What can happen How to prevent it The compressed air directly from your compressor is not safe for breathing. The air stream may contain carbon monoxide, toxic vapors, or solid particles from the air tank. Breathing these contaminant's can cause serious injury or death. Air obtained directly from the compressor should never be used to supply air for human consumption. In order to use air produced by this compressor for breathing, suitable filters and in-line safety equipment must be properly installed. In-line filters and safety equipment used in conjunction with the compressor must be capable of treating air to all applicable local and federal codes prior to human consumption. Sprayed materials such as paint, Work in an area with good cross paint solvents, paint remover, ventilation. Read and follow the insecticides, weed killers, safety instructions provided on the may contain harmful vapors label or safety data sheets for the and poisons. materials you are spraying. Always use certified safety equipment: OSHA/MSHA/NIOSH respiratory protection designed for use with your specific application. WARNING: RISK OF BURSTING Air Tank: The air tank on your Air Compressor is designed (for units with air tanks greater than 6 inch / 152 mm 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 Drain air tank daily or after each water from air tank, causing rust use. If air tank develops a leak, and thinning of the steel air tank. replace it immediately with a new air tank or replace the entire compressor. Modifications or attempted repairs to the air tank. 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. 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: 2
