English
• Sprayed materials such as
paint, paint solvents, paint
remover, insecticides, weed
killers, may contain harmful
vapors and poisons.
• Wo
rk in an area with good
cross ventilation. Read and
follow the safety instructions
provided on the label or safety
data sheets for the materials
you are spraying. Always use
certified safety equipment:
OSHA/MSHA/NIOSH
respiratory protection designed
for use with your specific
application.
DANGER: RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE WHEN
TRANSPORTING OR STORING
WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Oil can leak or spill and could
result in fire or breathing
hazard; serious injury or
death can result. Oil leaks will
damage carpet, paint or other
surfaces in vehicles or trailers.
• Al
ways place compressor
on a protective mat when
transporting to protect against
damage to vehicle from leaks.
Remove compressor from
vehicle immediately upon arrival
at your destination. Always keep
compressor level and never lie
on its side.
WARNING: RISK OF BURSTING
Air Tank: The air tank on your Air Compressor is designed and may
be UM coded (for units with air tanks greater than 6 inch diameter)
according to ASME Section VIII, Div. 1 rules. All pressure vessels
should be inspected once every two years. To find your state pressure
vessels inspector, look under the Division of Labor and Industries in
the government section of a phone book or call 1-800-4-D
eWALT for
assistance.
The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank,
and result in a violent air tank explosion:
WHAT
CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Failure to properly drain
condensed water from
air tank, causing rust and
thinning of the steel air tank.
• Drain air tank daily or after
each use. If air tank develops
a leak, replace it immediately
with a new air tank or replace
the entire compressor.
• Mo
difications or attempted
repairs to the air tank.
• Ne
ver drill into, weld, or make
any modifications to the air
tank or its attachments. Never
attempt to repair a damaged or
leaking air tank. Replace with a
new air tank.
• Un
authorized modifications
to the safety valve or any
other components which
control air tank pressure.
• Th
e air tank is designed
to withstand specific
operating pressures. Never
make adjustments or parts
substitutions to alter the factory
set operating pressures.
