contaminants can cause

serious injury or death.

• Never use air obtained directly

from the compressor to supply

equipment for human consumption.

created by power sanding,

sawing, grinding, drilling,

and other construction

activities may be harmful.

• Sprayed materials such as

paint, paint solvents, paint

remover, insecticides, weed

killers, may contain harmful

vapors and poisons.

ventilation. Read and follow the safety

instructions provided on the label or

safety data sheets for the materials

you are spraying. Always use certified

safety equipment: NIOSH/OSHA

ting face mask designed for use
