ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
• Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change
the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord
and grounded power supply system.
• Do not allow the product to come into contact with an electrical source. The tool is not insulated
and contact will cause electrical shock.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
• Do not abuse the power cord. Never use the power cord to carry the pump or pull the plug from
an outlet. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace
damaged power cords immediately. Damaged power cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cords marked “W-A” or “W”.
These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk of electric shock.
PUMP USE AND CARE
• Do not force the pump. Pumps do a better and safer job when used in the manner for which they
are designed. Plan your work, and use the correct product for the job.
• Check for damaged parts before each use. Carefully check that the pump will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Replace damaged or worn parts immediately. Never operate
the pump with a damaged part.
• Do not use a pump with a malfunctioning switch. Any pump that cannot be controlled with the
power switch is dangerous and must be repaired by an authorized service representative before
using.
• Disconnect the power/air supply from the pump and place the switch in the locked or off position
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• Store the pump when it is not in use. Store it in a dry, secure place out of the reach of children.
Inspect the tool for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for use with your pump.
Accessories that may be suitable for one product may create a risk of injury when used with
another tool. Never use an accessory that has a lower operating speed or operating pressure
than the tool itself.
• Keep guards in place and in working order. Never operate the product without the guards in
place.
