WARNING
Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands, face and ears
1. Wear safety glasses (meeting ANSI Z87.1 or
in Canada CSA Z94.3-99) and use hearing
protection when operating the unit. Everyday
glasses are not safety glasses.
2. Wear shoes to prevent shock hazards.
3. Tie back long hair.
Keep fingers away from running compressor.
Fast moving and hot parts may cause injury
and/or burns.
1. Follow all local electrical and safety codes,
as well as the National Electric Code (NEC)
and the Occupational Safety and Health
Act (OSHA).
2. Wiring and fuses should follow electrical
codes, current capacity and be properly
grounded.
3. Protect wires from contact with sharp objects.
All electrical connections should be made by
a qualified electrician.
Dress for safety
Be careful when touching the exterior of comp-
ressor, pump, motor and air lines; they may
become hot enough to cause injury.
Never operate the compressor without a
beltguard. The compressor can start auto-
matically without warning. Personal injury or
property damage could occur from contact
with moving parts.
The compressor may be hot even if the unit is
stopped.
Use of a mask or respirator per chemical
manufacturers’ instructions may be neces-
sary if there is a chance of inhaling toxic fumes.
Read mask and respirator instructions care-
fully. Consult a safety expert if you are not
sure about the use of certain masks or
respirators.
Pay attention to your hands
