HAZARD

RISk TO BREATHING (ASPHYxIATION)

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

HOW TO PREVENT IT

• The compressed air directly from your

compressor is not safe for breathing. The

air stream may contain carbon monoxide,

toxic vapors, or solid particles from the air

tank. Breathing these contaminants can

cause serious injury or death.

• Never use air obtained directly from the

compressor to supply air for human

consumption. The compressor is not

equipped with suitable filters and

in-line safety equipment for human

consumption.

• Exposure to chemicals in dust 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.

• Work in an area with good cross

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 respiratory

protection or properly fit ting face mask

designed for use with your specific

application.

HAZARD

RISk OF BURSTING

Air Tank:

On February 26, 2002, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission

published Release # 02-108 concerning air compressor tank safety:
Air compressor receiver tanks do not have an infinite life. Tank life is dependent upon

several factors, some of which include operating conditions, ambient conditions, proper

installations, field modifications, and the level of maintenance. The exact effect of these

factors on air receiver life is difficult to predict.
If proper maintenance procedures are not followed, internal corrosion to the inner wall of

the air receiver tank can cause the air tank to unexpectedly rupture allowing pressurized

air to suddenly and forcefully escape, posing risk of injury to consumers.
Your compressor air tank must be removed from service by the end of the year shown on

your tank warning label.
The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank, and result in a violent

air tank explosion:

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

HOW TO PREVENT IT

• Failure to properly drain condensed water

from air tank, causing rust and thinning of

the steel air tank.

• Drain air tank daily or after each use.

If air tank develops a leak, replace it

immediately with a new air tank or

replace the entire compressor.

• Modifications or attempted repairs to the

air tank.

• Never drill into, weld, or make any

modifications to the air tank or its

attachments. Never attempt to repair a

damaged or leaking air tank. Replace

with a new air tank.

• Unauthorized modifications to the safety

valve or any other components which

control air tank pressure.

• The air tank is designed to withstand

specific operating pressures. Never make

adjustments or parts substitutions to

alter the factory set operating pressures.

Attachments & accessories:

• Exceeding the pressure rating of air tools,

spray guns, air operated accessories,

tires, and other inflatables can cause

them to explode or fly apart, and could

result in serious injury.

• Follow the equipment manufacturers

recommendation and never exceed the

maximum allowable pressure rating of

attachments. Never use compressor to

inflate small low pressure objects such

as children’s toys, footballs, basketballs,

etc.

Tires:

• Over inflation of tires could result in

serious injury and property damage.

• Use a tire pressure gauge to check the

tires pressure before each use and while

inflating tires; see the tire sidewall for the

correct tire pressure.

NOTE:

Air tanks, compressors and similar

equipment used to inflate tires can fill

small tires very rapidly. Adjust pressure

regulator on air supply to no more than

the rating of the tire pressure. Add air in

small increments and frequently use the

tire gauge to prevent over inflation.

CFM:

Cubic feet per minute.

SCFM:

Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air delivery.

PSIG:

Pounds per square inch gauge; a unit of measure of pressure.

Code Certification:

Products that bear one or more of the following marks: UL

®

, CUL,

CULUS, ETL

®

, CETL, CETLUS, have been evaluated by OSHA certified independent safety

laboratories and meet the applicable Standards for Safety.

Cut-In Pressure:

While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops as you continue to use

your accessory. When the tank pressure drops to a certain lower level the motor will restart

automatically. The low pressure at which the motor automatically restarts is called "cut-in"

pressure.

Cut-Out Pressure:

When an air compressor is turned on and begins to run, air pressure in

the air tank begins to build. It builds to a certain high pressure before the motor automati-

cally shuts off, protecting your air tank from pressure higher than its capacity. The high pres-

sure at which the motor shuts off is called "cut-out" pressure.

Branch Circuit:

Circuit carrying electricity from electrical panel to outlet.
