from
explosive
vapors, such as
when spraying
with
a spray
gun.
Risk
of
bursting
-

not adjust regulator
higher
than
marked maximum
pressure
of attachment.
Risk
of
injury
-
do not direct
air
stream at
people
or animals.
Do not
use

air.
Do not leave compressor
unattended
for an extended

result in a
risk of injury
to
persons.
13. Allair
line components,
including
hoses,
pipe,
connectors,
filters, etc.,
must be
rated for a minimum
working
pressure
of
150 PSl, or
150% of the
maximum system
pressure,
whichever
is
greater.
14.
USE OFAN EXTENSION CORD IS NOT
RECOMMENDED.
lf
you
choose to
use an
extension cord, use the following
guidelines:
a. Make sure
your
extension cord
is in
good
condition.
b. Be sure to
use
an extension cord which
is heavy
enough
to carry the current
your
product
will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss
of
power
and overheating.
Table A shows the
correct size to use depending on cord
length
and nameplate ampere rating.
lf in
doubt,
use the next heavier
gauge.
The
smaller
the
gauge
number, the
heavier the cord.
15. lndustrial applications
must follow
OSHA
guidelines.
16.
Maintain labels
and
nameplates on the

important safety
information. lf unreadable or
missing, contact
