Air Compressor

TRAINING REQUIRED BEFORE USE.

On loan from Stephen Giles.

Safety

  • Compressed air is stored energy. If it escapes suddenly it will cause damage and injury.
  • Compressed air can perforate skin. Keep your hands away from the connectors and air outputs.
  • Air can blow debris in various directions. Wear safety glasses.
  • Air tools are the same as power tools (can remove fingers, break limbs, etc)

General Usage Tips

  • Close the drain valve before use, or the tank won't build up pressure.
  • Open the drain value after use (slowly, to allow the tank to decompress) and leave it open to avoid condensation (which can corrode the metal).
