SAFETY SETUP Air Compressor Safety Warnings 1. Risk of fire or explosion - do not spray flammable liquid in a confined area or towards a hot surface. Spray area must be well-ventilated. Do not smoke while spraying or spray where spark or flame is present. Arcing parts - keep compressor at least 20 feet away from explosive vapors, such as when spraying with a spray gun. 2. Risk of bursting - do not adjust regulator higher than marked maximum pressure of attachment. 3. Risk of injury - do not direct air stream at people or animals. 4. Do not use to supply breathing air. 5. Do not leave compressor unattended for an extended period while plugged in. Unplug compressor after working. 6. Keep compressor well-ventilated. Do not cover compressor during use. 7. Drain Tank daily and after use. Internal rust causes tank failure and explosion. 8. Add correct amount of compressor oil before first use and every use. Operating with low or no oil causes permanent damage and voids warranty. 9. Do not remove the valve cover or adjust internal components. 10. Compressor head gets hot during operation. Do not touch it or allow children nearby during or immediately following operation. 11. Do not use the air hose to move the compressor. 12. Release the pressure in the storage tank before moving. 13. The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may result in a risk of injury to persons. 14. All air line components, including hoses, pipe, connectors, filters, etc., must be rated for a minimum working pressure of 150 PSI, or 150% of the maximum system pressure, whichever is greater. 15. USE OF AN EXTENSION CORD IS NOT RECOMMENDED. If you choose to use an extension cord, use the following guidelines: TABLE A: RECOMMENDED MINIMUM WIRE GAUGE FOR EXTENSION CORDS (120 VOLT) NAMEPLATE AMPERES (at full load) EXTENSION CORD LENGTH 25′ 50′ 100′ 150′ 0 - 6 18 16 16 14 6.1 - 10 18 16 Do not use. 10.1 - 12 16 16 Do not use. 12.1 - 16 14 12 Do not use. a. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. b. Be sure to use an extension cord which is heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table A shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. 16. Industrial applications must follow OSHA guidelines. 17. Maintain labels and nameplates on the compressor. These carry important safety information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement. 18. This product is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of children. 19. Operate unit on level surface. Check oil level daily and fill to marked level if needed. 20. People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure. 21. WARNING: The brass components of this product contain lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects (or other reproductive harm). (California Health & Safety code § 25249.5, et seq.) SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. OPERATION MAINTENANCE Page 4 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Item 61454
