Placement
Do not place the compressor next to
flammable liquids or gas! The com-
pressor motor and air supply pipe
can reach high temperatures and
cause the flammable gas to ignite.
Keep work area clear from flammable
gas when using the compressor.
When determining where to set up the
air compressor in the shop or when tak-
ing the air compressor to a job site,
an important consideration is access to
an adequate and properly fused power
supply. Refer to
SECTION 2: CIRCUIT
REQUIREMENTS for the needs of your
particular compressor.
Place the compressor on a solid and
level surface. Make sure that the hoses
attached to your pneumatic device are
unrestricted in movement and not subject
to being run over by vehicles or punctured
by sharp objects.
Since air compressors are often used for
a sustained period of time, sometimes in
restricted areas, wear ear protection to
avoid long term exposure to the noise.
Make sure the compressor is operating
in an environment where there are no
explosive, flammable, or caustic fumes or
gases. A clear and well ventilated area is
best for its safe operation.
Do not place the compressor in a
paint spraying or gluing booth. The
electric motor on the compressor
could cause the fumes to explode.
