WHAT COULD HAPPEN
The top of the compressor gets
hot when the compressor is run¬
ning. If you touch it you may be
seriously burned.
It is normal for the motor's electri¬
cal contacts to spark when the
compressor starts or stops. A
spark can ignite flammable
vapors from gasoline or solvents,
causing an explosion or fire.
Compressed air can propel dust
dirt or loose particles it comes in
contact with.
Too much air pressure applied to
air tools or accessories can
cause damage or risk of bursting.
It is normal for compressed air to
contain toxic or irritating vapors.
Such vapors are harmful if
inhaled.
Certain materials you are spray¬
ing (like paint, weed killer, sand or
insecticide) can be harmful if you
inhale them.
Your air compressor is powered
by electricity. Like any other elec¬
trically powered device, if It is not
used properly it can cause electri¬
cal shock.
The solvents 1,1,1-Trichlorethane
and Methylene Chloride can
chemically react with aluminum
used in paint spray guns, paint
pumps, etc., and cause an explo¬
sion. These solvents can also
react with galvanized compo¬
nents and cause corrosion and
weakening of parts. This will not
affect your air compressor, but it
may affect the equipment you
use.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
