Risk Of Explosion Or Fire - Craftsman 919.724320 Owner's Manual

RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE

WHAT CAN HAPPEN
IT IS NORMAL FOR ELECTRICAL CONTACTS
WITHIN THE MOTOR AND PRESSURE SWITCH
TO SPARK.
IF ELECTRICAL SPARKS FROM COMPRES-
SOR COME INTO CONTACT WITH FLAMMA-
BLE VAPORS, THEY MAY IGNITE, CAUSING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
RESTRICTING ANY OF THE COMPRESSOR
VENTILATION OPENINGS WILL CAUSE SERI-
OUS OVERHEATING AND COULD CAUSE
FIRE.
UNATTENDED OPERATION OF THIS PROD-
UCT COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY
OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. TO REDUCE THE
RISK OF FIRE, DO NOT ALLOW THE COM-
PRESSOR TO OPERATE UNATTENDED.

HAZARD
HOW TO PREVENT IT
ALWAYS OPERATE THE COMPRESSOR IN A
WELL VENTILATED AREA FREE OF COM-
BUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR SOL-
VENT VAPORS.
IF SPRAYING FLAMMABLE MATERIALS,
LOCATE COMPRESSOR AT LEAST 20 FEET
AWAY FROM SPRAY AREA. AN ADDITIONAL
LENGTH OF HOSE MAY BE REQUIRED.
STORE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS IN A
SECURE LOCATION AWAY FROM COMPRES-
SOR.
NEVER PLACE OBJECTS AGAINST OR ON
TOP OF COMPRESSOR. OPERATE COM-
PRESSOR IN AN OPEN AREA AT LEAST 12
INCHES AWAY FROM ANY WALL OR
OBSTRUCTION THAT WOULD RESTRICT THE
FLOW OF FRESH AIR TO THE VENTILATION
OPENINGS.
OPERATE COMPRESSOR IN A CLEAN, DRY,
WELL VENTILATED AREA. DO NOT OPERATE
UNIT INDOORS OR IN ANY CONFINED AREA.
ALWAYS REMAIN IN ATTENDANCE WITH THE
PRODUCT WHEN IT IS OPERATING.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER
BY MOVING PRESSURE SWITCH LEVER TO
THE OFF POSITION AND DRAIN TANK DAILY
OR AFTER EACH USE.
