GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING!

Read all instructions

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire, and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed
below refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool.
,

Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered

or dark areas invite accidents.

b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c.

Keep children and bystanders

safety

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce 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.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or
unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.

Personal
a.

To reduce

operating

safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating
a power tool. Do not use a power too! while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use safety equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off=position before
plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

This

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.

Power tool use and care
a.

Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
Disconnect
the plug from the power source before making any
adjustments,
changing
accessories,
or storing power tools,
Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow
people unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools
operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Use the power too! in accordance with these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.

DANGER!
This Air Compressor is NOT equipped and should not be used "as-is"
to supply breathing air. For any application of air for human consumption,
you
must fit the Air Compressor with suitable in-line safety and alarm equipment (not
included). This additional equipment is necessary to properly filter and purify
the air to meet minimal specifications for Grade D breathing as described in
Compressed
Gas Association Commodity Specification G 7.1-1966, OSHA 29
CFR 1910. 134, and/or Canadian Standards Associations (CSA). In the event
the Air Compressor is used for the purpose of breathing air application and
proper in-line safety and alarm equipment is not simultaneously
used, existing
warranties are void, and supplier and manufacturer
disclaims any liability
whatsoever for any loss, personal injury, or damage.
DANGER!
Never attempt to repair or modify the Air Tank (27). Welding, drilling,
or any other modification will weaken the Tank resulting in damage from rupture
or explosion. Always replace worn, cracked, or damaged Tanks.
WARNING!
Never use plastic (PVC) pipe for compressed air; serious injury or
death could result. Any tube, pipe, or hose used must have a pressure rating
higher than 155 PSI. Minimum recommended
pipe size: Up to 50 feet long use
1/2" diameter. Greater than 50 feet use 3/4" diameter.
Larger diameter pipe is
always better.
CAUTION:

DO NOT use an extension

cord with this product.

Make sure all tools and equipment used with the Air Compressor are rated to the
appropriate capacity. Do not use any tool or equipment that operates over 155
PSI.
Drain the Air Compressor every day. Do not allow excessive moisture to build up
inside the Air Compressor's
Tank. Do not open the Drain Valve (30) with more
than !0 PSI of air pressure in the Tank. Do not unscrew the Drain Valve so that
more than four turns are showing.

GROUNDING

iNSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk
of electric shock.
This product is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment=grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.

installed by a qualified electrician.
WARNING:
Improper installation of the grounding plug is liable to result in a risk of electric
shock. When repair or replacement of the cord is required, do not connect the
grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an
outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire.
