Harbor Freight Tools 67696 User Manual - Page 4

GENERAL SAFETY RULES Maintain tools with care. Follow maintenance instructions. Properly maintained tools are easier to control. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. Never point any tool toward yourself or others. Keep the exterior of the air compressor dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any strong solvents to clean the unit. Following this rule will reduce the risk of deterioration of the enclosure plastic. SERVICE Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury. Disconnect power supply, open drain valve to decompress tank and allow water to drain, and allow air compressor to become cool to the touch before servicing. Turn pressure regulator knob fully counter clockwise after shutting off compressor. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may create a risk of injury. 4
