IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
USE OF AN EXTENSION CORD IS NOT RECOMMENDED. If you choose to use an extension cord,
use the following guidelines:
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
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. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Industrial applications must follow OSHA guidelines.
Maintain labels and nameplates on the compressor. These carry important safety information. If
unreadable or missing, contact Stark Tools for a replacement.
Operate unit on level surface. Check oil level daily and ll to marked level if needed.
People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic elds in
close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING WIRE
CONNECTION: Check with a qualied electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the compressor. Never remove
the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the compressor if the power cord or plug is damaged.
if damaged, have it repaired by a service facility before use. If the plug will not t the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.
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.
DO NOT modify the plug provided – if it will not t the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualied electrician.
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.
