OPERATION
Before each use
CAUTION: Serious injury or death may occur if electrical sparks from motor and
pressure switch come in contact with flammable vapors, combustible dust,
gases or other combustible materials. When using the air compressor for spray
painting, place the air compressor as far away from the work area as possible.
Use extra air hoses instead of extension cords.
CAUTION: In order to avoid damaging the air compressor, do not incline the
air compressor transversely or longitudinally more than 10°.
Pre-Start Checklist
• Check pressure-hose for damages and replace, if necessary.
• Check all screwed connections for tightness and tighten, if necessary.
• Check power-cable for damages and have it replaced by service-station, if
necessary.
ƒ The compressor must operate only in dry environment.
ƒ Place air compressor at least 12 inches away from obstacles that may prevent
