air tank. Replace the tank immediately or replace the entire compressor,
if a leak develops.
1.2 Serious injury or death may occur if modifications are made to the pressure
switch, safety relief valve or other components that control the tank pressure.
Never make adjustments to the components that control tank pressure. Do not
make alterations to the factory operating pressure settings. Check operation of
the pressure relief valve on a regular basis and never operate without a factory
approved pressure relief valve.
1.3 Do not use plastic or pvc pipe for compressed air. Use only galvanized steel pipe
and fittings for compressed air distribution lines.

Compressor outlet pressure must be regulated so as to never exceed the
maximum pressure rating of the tool.
2. Risk of Explosion or Fire
