Follow the safety precautions for electrical connections
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.
Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands, face and ears
Dress for safety
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.
Pay attention to your hands
Keep fingers away from running compressor.
Fast moving and hot parts may cause injury
and/or burns.
Be careful when touching the exterior of
compressor, pump, motor and air lines; they
may become hot enough to cause injury.
Never operate the compressor without a belt
guard. The compressor can start automatically
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 necessary if
there is a chance of inhaling toxic fumes. Read
mask and respirator instructions carefully.
Consult a safety expert if you are not sure
about the use of certain masks or respirators.
When operating
1. Do not exceed the pressure rating of any
component of the system.
2. Release pressure within the system slowly to
prevent flying dust and debris.
3. If the equipment starts to abnormally vibrate,
STOP the compressor immediately and
check for the cause.
Never change the safety valve or pressure
switch settings. Keep safety valve free from
paint and other accumulations. See
compressor specification decal for maximum
operating pressure. Do not operate with the
pressure switch set higher than the maximum
operating pressure.
