g Drain tank of moisture after each day’s use. If unit will
not be used for a while, it is best to leave drain valve open
until such time as it is to be used. This will allow moisture
to completely drain out and help prevent corrosion on the
inside of tank.

 aspossible,atleast15feetfromthesprayingareaandall
explosive vapors.
g Risk of Bursting.Donotadjustregulatortoresultinoutput
pressure greater than marked maximum pressure of
attachment. Do not use a pressure greater than maximum
rated pressure of compressor.
g If connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use time-
delay fuses with this product.
g To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to
rain. Store indoors.
g Inspect tank yearly for rust, pin holes, or other
imperfections that could cause it to become unsafe.
Never weld or drill holes in the air tank.
g Make sure the hose is free of obstructions or snags.
Entangled or snarled hoses can cause loss of balance or
footing and may become damaged.

this tool can cause injury to yourself and others.
gNever leave a tool unattended with the air hose attached.
gDo not operate this tool if it does not contain a legible
warning label.
gDo not continue to use a tool or hose that leaks air or
does not function properly.
g Always disconnect the air supply and power supply
before making adjustments, servicing a tool, or when a
tool is not in use.
gDo not attempt to pull or carry the air compressor by
the hose.

 shockorre.
g Never use an electrical adaptor with this grounded plug.
g Check damaged parts. Before further use of the air
compressor or air tool, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to determine
that it will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may affect
its operation. A guard or other part that is

g Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is
recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less in
length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recommended.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating.
g Save these instructions.Refertothemfrequentlyanduse
them to instruct others who may use this air compressor. If
you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions
also.
