DANGER: RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• It is normal for electrical con-
tacts within the motor and
pressure switch to spark.
• If electrical sparks from com-
pressor come into contact
with flammable vapors, they
may ignite, causing fire or
explosion.
• Restricting any of the com-
pressor ventilation openings
will cause serious overheat-
ing and could cause fire.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Always operate the compres-
sor in a well ventilated area
free of combustible materials,
gasoline, or solvent vapors.
• If spraying flammable materi-
als, locate compressor at
least 20' (6.1 m) away from
spray area. An additional
length of air hose may be
required.
• Store flammable materials in
a secure location away from
compressor.
• Never place objects against
or on top of compressor.
• Operate compressor in an
open area at least 12"
(30.5 cm) 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 in
any confined area. Store
indoors.
• Unattended operation of this
product could result in per-
sonal injury or property dam-
age. To reduce the risk of
fire, do no allow the com-
pressor to operator unat-
tended
DANGER: RISK TO BREATHING (ASPHYXIATION)
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• The compressed air directly
from your compressor is not
safe for breathing. The air
stream may contain carbon
monoxide, toxic vapors,
or solid particles from the
air tank. Breathing these
contaminants can cause
serious injury or death.
• Exposure to chemicals
in dust created by
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling and other
construction activities may
be harmful.
• Sprayed materials such as
paint, paint solvents, paint
remover, insecticides, weed
killers, may contain harmful
vapors and poisons.

HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Never use air obtained directly
from the compressor to supply
air for human consumption.
The compressor is not
equipped with suitable filters
and in-line safety equipment
for human consumption.
• Work in an area with good
cross ventilation. Read and
follow the safety instructions
provided on the label or
safety data sheets for the
materials you are spraying.
Always use certified safety
equipment: NIOSH/OSHA
respiratory protection or
properly fit ting face mask
designed for use with your
specific application.

Questions and answers
I just purchased a Dewalt dxcmsac260 and whan it shuts off a valve opens and it start releasing the air pressure. it's the same valve that opens when I put the compressor in the off position. what can I do to stop this?
To stop the air pressure release from the valve when the DeWalt DXCMSAC260 shuts off, follow these steps:
1. Inspect for Leaks – Visually check air lines and fittings for any leaks.
2. Check the Safety Valve – Manually operate the safety valve by pulling on the ring. If it continues to leak, replace it.
3. Ensure Proper Shut-Off – Turn the Auto/Off switch to the "Off (O)" position.
4. Verify the Drain Valve – Ensure the drain valve is fully closed.
5. Check for Excessive Air Usage – Reduce air consumption if the compressor is overused.
6. Inspect the Hose – Look for any holes or damage in the hose and replace it if necessary.
7. Clean or Replace the Air Filter – If the intake filter is clogged, clean or replace it.
If the issue persists, contact a DeWalt service center.
