ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Risk of electrical shock.Always
disconnect from power source before
servicing. Servicing should be performed by authorized
service center.
USE AND CARE
Never use plastic (PVC) pipe for
compressed air. Serious injury or
death could result.
a. Before each use, inspect compressed air
system and electrical components for signs of damage,
deterioration, weakness or leakage. Repair or replace
defective items before using.
b. Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for proper
tightness.
c. Check air hoses for weak or worn condition before each
use. Make sure all connections are secure.
d. Do not stand on or use the pump or unit as a handhold.
e. If the equipment should start to abnormally vibrate, STOP
the engine/motor and check immediately for the cause.
Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
Never remove or attempt to adjust safety valve.
Keep safety valve free from paint and other
accumulations.
f. Do not alter or tamper with the safety relief valve. In the
event that the safety relief valve is tampered with, existing
warranties shall be voided and Campbell Hausfeld disclaims
any liability whatsoever for any loss, personal injury or
damage.
Never attempt to repair or modify
a tank! Welding, drilling or any
other modification will weaken the tank resulting in
damage from rupture or explosion.Always replace worn or
damaged tanks.
Drain liquid from tank daily.
g. Make sure to drain tank regularly and inspect periodically
for unsafe conditions such as rust formation and
corrosion. Tanks rust from moisture build-up, which
weakens the tank.
h. Release air slowly when draining moisture or
depressurizing the compressor system. Fast moving air will
stir up dust and debris which may be harmful.
i. Do not remove any warning labels from the unit.
j. Store inside. Do not store outside or in direct sunlight.
WORK AREA
a. Keep the work area clean and well lighted. Cluttered
benches and dark areas increase the risks of electric shock,
fire, and injury to persons.
b. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating. Distractions are able to result in the loss of
control. NEVER allow children in the work area.
Motors, electrical equipment
and controls can cause electrical
arcs that will ignite a flammable gas or vapor. Never
operate or repair in or near a flammable gas or vapor.
Never store or spray flammable liquids or gases in the
vicinity of the compressor.
c. To reduce fire hazard, keep engine/motor exterior free of
oil, solvent, or excessive grease.
PERSONAL SAFETY
a. Stay alert.Watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating the tool. Do not use the tool
while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating the
tool increases the risk of injury to persons.
Ensuring that the tool is used
only when the operator and all
other personnel in the work area are wearing ANSI Z87
eye protection equipment, and when required, other
appropriate protection equipment such as head, hearing
and foot protection equipment. Serious eye or permanent hearing loss
could result.
b. Always wear hearing protection when using the tool.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise is able to cause
hearing loss.
c. Always work in a well-ventilated area.Wear OSHA-
approved dust mask.
d. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
increases the risk of injury to persons as a result of being
caught in moving parts.
Compressor parts may be hot even if
the unit is stopped.
e. Keep fingers away from a running compressor;
fast moving and hot parts will cause injury and/or
burns.
f. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
