General
|
Always read your owners manual
before running your compressor, there is important
information in there! Improper use is the number
one cause for repairs and personal injury.
|
Remember to use eye protection and
hearing protection when operating your air compressor.
|
| Try and avoid using air compressors
in a wet area. If the compressor is exposed to water for
long periods of time, it can cause rust to the tank, damage
to the tools, and also cause problems with the electrical
circuits |
| |
| Hoses |
Ensure that all hose fittings are
tight. Loose fittings can not only damper you compressors
performance, but also cause personal and equipment damage.
|
| Keep all hoses clean of dirt and
debris. This will not only lengthen the life of your hose,
but your air compressor as well. |
| |
| |
Maintenance
|
| Never add or change the oil or
refuel when the compressor is running or has just recently
been used. This will help avoid smoke, fire, and other
concerns. |
| |
| |
Tools
|
To avoid severe personal injury,
never point tools towards your face or body.
|
Always be sure that the
trigger on the tool is not pulled when turning on the air
compressor.
|
| |
| Voltage |
Ensure that the machine is plugged
into a properly grounded outlet. If your machine is plugged
into an outlet without the properly grounded electrical
circuits, there may be damage to the electrical panel of the
compressor as well as the possibility of a fire.
|
Consult the owners
manual for the recommended extension cord use. Using a
longer extension cord than recommended can result in a loss
of power, and can cause damage to the compressors electrical
panel and/or motor.
