[. . . ] Due to our continuing programme of research and development, the specifications herein are subject to change without notice. â· Note: Specifications may differ from country to country. Read the Safety Guidelines and ALL instructions carefully before operating. 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 to you and others. [. . . ] â· Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts. â· Air vents may cover moving parts and should be avoided as well. DAMAGE: Each air compressor outfit is carefully tested and checked before shipment. With improper handling, damage may result in transit and cause problems with compressor operation. Immediately upon arrival, check equipment for both concealed and visible damages to avoid expenses being incurred to correct such problems. This should be done regardless of any visible signs of damage to the shipping container. If this product was shipped directly to you, report any damages to the carrier and arrange for inspection of goods immediately. Contact with hot parts such as the compressor head or outlet tubes could result in a serious skin burn. Before you store the air compressor, make sure you do the following: 1. review the "Maintenance" and "Operating Procedures" sections and perform maintenance as necessary. Be sure to drain water from the air tank. Protect the electrical cord and air hose from damage (such as being stepped on or run over). Store the air compressor in a clean and dry location. Release compressed air from the compressor head and the outlet tube when the air compressor reaches "cut-out" pressure. The pressure switch automatically starts the motor when the air tank pressure drops to the factory set "cut-in" pressure. It stops the motor when the air tank pressure reaches the factory set "cut-out" pressure. DRAIN VALVE: The drain valve is located at the bottom of the air tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of each use. If the pressure switch does not shut off the air compressor at its "cut-out" pressure setting, the safety valve will protect against high pressure by "popping out" at its factory set pressure which is slightly higher than the pressure switch "cut-out" setting. If the motor overheats for any reason, the circuit breaker will shut off the motor. Turn pressure switch to the "off" position and wait for unit to cool before pushing the reset button and restarting the compressor. The outlet pressure gauge indicates the air pressure available at the outlet side of the regulator. [. . . ] Before attaching air hose or accessories, make sure the pressure switch lever is set to "OFF" and the air regulator or shut-off valve is closed. Too much air pressure causes a hazardous risk of bursting. check the manufacturer's maximum pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The regulator outlet pressure must never exceed the maximum pressure rating. [. . . ]
