Hazard Warnings (cont’d)

RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION

What could happen:

• Abrasive tools such as sanders and grinders; rotating tools such as drills and

impact tools such as nailers, staples, wrenches, hammers and reciprocating saws

are capable of generating sparks which could result in ignition of flammable materials.

• It is normal for the compressor motor and pressure switch to produce sparks while

operating. If sparks come into contract with vapors from gasoline or other solvents,

they may ignite, causing a fire or explosion.

• Exceeding the maximum pressure rating of tools or accessories could cause an

explosion resulting in serious injury.

How to prevent it:

• Never operate tools near flammable substances such as gasoline, cleaning solvents,

etc.

• Work in a clean, well-ventilated area free of combustible materials.

• Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide or other bottled gases as a power source for air

tools.

• Use compressed air regulated to maximum pressure at or below the rated pressure

of any attachments.

• Never connect to an air source that is capable of exceeding 90 psi.

• Always verify prior to using the tool that the air source has been adjusted to the rated

air pressure range.

• Never spray flammable liquids in a confined area. Do not spray where sparks or

flames are present.

• Do not smoke while spraying.

• Keep compressor as far from spray area as possible.
