WARNING: Risk when Inflating Tires WHAT CAN HAPPEN Over inflating tires can result in serious injury and property damage. HOW TO PREVENT IT • Check the tires pressure before each use with a tire pressure gauge. While inflating tires, confirm the correct tire pressure written on the tire's sidewall. NOTE: Equipment used for inflating tires, such as air tanks and compressors can inflate small tires or similar very rapidly. Adjust the air supply so that it becomes equal or less than the rating of tire pressure. To prevent over inflation, supply air little by little and frequently check the tire's air pressure using a tire gauge. WARNING: Risk of Electric Shock WHAT CAN HAPPEN Your air compressor is powered by electricity. Like any other electrically powered device, if it is not used properly, it may cause electrical shock. HOW TO PREVENT IT • Any electrical wiring or repairs required to this product should be performed by qualified service personnel or a licensed electrician, in accordance with national and local electrical codes. • Never operate the compressor outdoors when it is raining, or in a wet environment. • Never operate the compressor with guards or covers which are damaged or removed. • To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to rain. Store indoors. • Do not expose compressor to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the compressor will increase the risk of electric shock. • Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. WARNING: Risk of Explosion or Fire HOW TO PREVENT IT • Always operate the compressor in a well-venti- lated area, free of gasoline or solvent vapors. • Do not use flammable liquid in a confined area. • Always ventilate the spraying area. • Do not smoke during spraying and spray toward a location where spark or flame is generated. • Keep compressors away from the spraying area as possible, leave a distance at least 6.1 m (20 ft) from the spraying area and all flammable materials. • Store flammable materials in a secure location away from compressor. WARNING: Risk to Breathing WHAT CAN HAPPEN • The compressed air from your compressor is not safe for breathing. The air stream may contain carbon monoxide or other vapors, or particles from the tank or other components. • Sprayed materials such as paint, paint solvents, paint remover, insecticides, weed killers, etc., contain harmful vapors and poisons. • Breathing compressor or sprayed materials vapor can result in serious injury. HOW TO PREVENT IT • Never inhale air from the compressor, either directly or from a breathing device connected to the compressor. • Work in an area equipped with good cross ventilation. • Read and follow the safety instructions provided on the label or safety data sheet for the material you are spraying. Use an approved respirator designed for use with your specific application. • Do not carry the compressor while painting. WARNING: Risk from Noise • Wear hearing protection to protect your ears against exhaust noise and noise during operation. WHAT CAN HAPPEN It is normal for electrical contacts within the motor and pressure switch to spark, whenever the compressor starts or stops. Never operate the compressor in an atmosphere where flammable vapors are present. Doing so can result in serious injury to you or others. 4 ENGLISH
