This information is provided for SAFETY and to PREVENT EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. To help recognize this information, observe the following symbols. Safety Signal Words !DANGER: Danger indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury. !WARNING: Warning indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in death or serious injury. !CAUTION: Caution indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, MAY result in minor or moderate injury. NOTICE: Notice indicates important information, that if not followed, may cause damage to equipment. Before Using the Air Compressor Air compressors are utilized in a variety of air system applications. Because air compressors and other components (material pump, spray gun, filters, lubrications, hoses, etc.) used make up a high pressure pumping system, the following safety precautions should be observed at all times. Only persons well acquainted with these rules of safe operation should be allowed to use the air compressor. 3. Do not exceed pressure rating of any component in system. 4. Protect material lines and air lines from damage or puncture. Keep hose and power cable away from sharp objects, chemical spills, oil, solvents, and wet floors. 5. Never point a spray gun at oneself or any other person. Accidental discharge may result in serious injury. 6. Check hoses for weak or worn condi- !WARNING: All electrical work should be done by a qualified (licensed or certified) electrician. On a properly wired circuit, the black wires supply a voltage potential even when the unit is off. 1. Read instruction manuals for each component carefully, before attempting to assemble, disassemble or operate your particular system. 2. Wear safety glasses (meeting ANSI Z87.1 or in Canada CSA Z94.3-99) and use hearing protection when operating the pump or unit. Everyday glasses are not safety glasses. tion, before each use, making certain all connections are secure; do not use if deficiency is found. Notify an authorized service facility for examination or repair. 7. Release all pressures within system slowly; dust and debris may be harmful. !WARNING: Disconnect power and depressurize system before servicing air compressor! (Turn pressure regulator knob fully clockwise after shutting off compressor.) 3 Safety Instructions (continued) 8. Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). 9. Wiring and fuses should follow electrical codes, current capacity, and be properly grounded. 10. Electric motors must be securely and adequately grounded. See grounding instructions and extension cord information in this manual. 11. Always disconnect power source before working on or near a motor, or its connected load. If power disconnect point is out-of-sight, lock it in the open position and tag to prevent unexpected application of power. 12. Guard all moving parts; keep visitors away. Never allow children in work area. 13. Use only a properly grounded outlet that will accept a three pronged plug, a...
