English • 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 contaminant's 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.
• Modifications or attempted repairs to the air tank. • Unauthorized modifications to the unloader valve, safety valve, or any other components which control air tank pressure. • Excessive vibration can weaken the air tank and cause rupture or explosion. Excessive vibration will occur if the compressor is not properly mounted or if engine operates above recommended RPM. How to prevent it • Drain air tank daily or after each use.
English WARNING: RISK OF Hot surfaces What can happen How to prevent it • Touching exposed metal such • Never touch any exposed as the compressor head, metal parts on compressor engine head, engine exhaust during or immediately after or outlet tubes, can result in operation. Compressor will serious burns. remain hot for several minutes after operation • Do not reach around protective shrouds or attempt maintenance until unit has been allowed to cool.
• Attempting to operate compressor with damaged or missing parts or attempting to repair compressor with protective shrouds removed can expose you to moving parts and can result in serious injury. • Never operate the compressor with guards or covers which are damaged or removed. • Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. • Air vents may cover moving parts and should be avoided as well.
English Read all Instructions • Do not charge or use battery in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the battery from the charger may ignite the dust or fumes. • Never force battery pack into charger. Do not modify battery pack in any way to fit into a non-compatible charger as battery pack may rupture causing serious personal injury. Consult the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of batteries and chargers.
Specific Safety instructions for Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) or Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) • Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The battery pack can explode in a fire. • A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack cells may occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions. This does not indicate a failure.

English Important Safety Instructions for all Battery Chargers • Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress. • Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of fire, electric shock, or electrocution. • When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
• Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to an authorized service center. • Do not disassemble charger; take it to an authorized service center when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire. • Disconnect the charger from the outlet before attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk of electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not reduce this risk.
English Charge Indicators NOTE: A battery pack will slowly lose its charge when kept out of the charger. If the battery pack has not been kept on maintenance charge, it may need to be recharged before use. A battery pack may also slowly lose its charge if left in a charger that is not plugged into an appropriate AC source. Weak Battery Packs: Chargers can also detect a weak battery pack. Such batteries are still usable but should not be expected to perform as much work.
Features Electric Start The engine switch (C) can be placed in three positions; START, RUN and OFF. See Starting under Operation for complete starting instructions. 18v Battery Pack and charger The electric start feature uses an 18V battery pack (Q) to start the engine. The battery pack is charged by using the charger. See Charger Procedure for charging procedure. UNLOADER Valve When the maximum air tank pressure is obtained, the unloader valve (H) will blow-off.
English AIR INTAKE FILTER The filter (A) is designed to clean air entering the pump. To ensure the pump continually receives a clean, cool, and dry air supply the filter must always be clean and the filter intake must be free from obstructions. saving feature holds the engine at a factory-set idling speed until air pressure in the air tank drops to reset pressure. The unloader valve then reactivates the throttle control and accelerates the engine to full throttle.
Location Warning: Risk of breathing. Exhaust from the gasoline engine contains deadly carbon monoxide, which is odorless and toxic. Operate engine only in well ventilated areas. CAUTION: Risk of property damage. In order to avoid damaging the air compressor, do not allow the unit to be tilted more than 10º when operating. Place air compressor at least 4 ft (1.2 m) away from obstacles that may prevent proper ventilation.
