CORDLESS INFLATOR WARNINGS This manual contains information that is important for you to know and understand. This information relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. To help you recognize this information, we use the following symbols. Please read the manual and pay attention to these sections. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION - A HAZARD THAT MIGHT CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE. Information for preventing damage to equipment. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT. IMPROPER OPERATION OF THIS EQUIPMENT COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY HAZARD WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT RISK OF EXPLOSION RISK OF EYE INJURY YOUR COMPRESSOR IS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING compressed AIR AT HIGH PRESSURE which could cause tires, toys and other inflatables to EXPLODE, resulting in serious injury. Toys such as footballs, basketballs, soccer balls, beach balls, etc. REQUIRE VERY LOW AIR PRESSURE to inflate. OVER INFLATION can result in a VIOLENT EXPLOSION. Your air hose is equipped with a universal adapter. Its purpose is to permit attachment of inflation accessories. Use of the clamp for UNATTENDED INFLATION COULD RESULT IN EXPLOSION causing serious injury. Internal ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS GENERATE SPARKS which could ignite flammable vapors. COMPRESSED AIR STREAM CAN PROPEL solid OBJECTS, dirt and dust, glass particles, etc. at high speed, RESULTING IN SERIOUS EYE INJURY. NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE RATING OF ANY INFLATABLE. Check pressure frequently during inflation. NEVER ALLOW CHILDREN TO OPERATE YOUR AIR COMPRESSOR! CONTROL AIR PRESSURE into such equipment BY ADDING SMALL AMOUNT OF AIR AT A TIME, CHECKING THE INCREASE IN PRESSURE each time before adding more air. Read and follow Equipment Manufacturer s recommendations for proper inflation. NEVER USE THE UNIVERSAL ADAPTER AS MEANS OF UNATTENDED INFLATION! AIR PRESSURE CAN QUICKLY RISE TO DANGEROUS LEVELS! If the chuck is attached to a tire valve stem or inflation attachment, stay with and MONITOR THE INFLATION until it has been completed. NEVER OPERATE COMPRESSOR NEAR GASOLINE or other flammable vapors. Use in a well ventilated area. Always WEAR ANSI Z87.1 Approved SAFETY GLASSES when using this equipment. 3 ENG
