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 drawAn 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� If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge� The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord�
16� Industrial applications must follow OSHA guidelines�
17� Maintain labels and nameplates on the
compressor� These carry important safety
information� If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement�
18� This product is not a toy
Keep it out of reach of children�
19� Operate unit on level surface� Check oil level
daily and fill to marked level if needed�
20� People with pacemakers should consult their
physician(s) before use� Electromagnetic fields in
close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure�

1� 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 compressor 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�
2� Do not modify the plug provided –
if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician�
3� Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock�
The conductor with insulation having an outer
surface that is green with or without yellow
stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor
If repair or replacement of the electric cord or
plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live terminal�
4� Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the compressor is properly grounded�
5� Use only 3-wire extension cords that have
3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles
that accept the compressor’s plug�
