The Basics Of Using Industrial Air Compressors Safely

As is the case with any other power tool, you should read, understand, and follow all safety instructions that come with industrial air compressors. These machines are not to be taken lightly. If you take them as the serious machines that they are, then you will set yourself up to have a safe and enjoyable time using them. Tragedy can happen if the safety rules are ignored, or not followed. Having said that, let's take a look at industrial air compressors and see what some of the basics are.

First of all, industrial air compressors are more than your normal run-of-the-mill compressor. More air, more capability, more power, more potential for danger if not used properly. "Industrial" has such a nice ring to it don't you think? I always think of assembly lines, production, tools, and lots of noise.

Industrial air compressors are big, bad machines but they do not need to be feared. Before firing one up there are some basic things to tend to. First of all, a careful visual inspection of the air hose should be conducted to make certain that it is in perfect working order. Any sign of weakness, fraying, splits, or other wear and tear should be taken care of promptly. A bad hose can mean low productivity at best. At worst, it can mean danger and no work at all.

As an aside, a few years back, I accidentally set a power tool down without paying enough attention to where the hose was. It got caught in a moving part and, kablewy! My air hose was thrashed. And, it wasn't an easy fix either. I tried all sorts of splices, tapes, and other fixes. Finally, I found the right style clamps to repair it well enough to use again. A little care on my part would have saved me a big hassle. Hoses aren't cheap so it is definitely worth being careful.

Anyway, once you've determined that the hose is good you can move on to the compressor itself. Industrial air compressors have a massive capacity for pressure. Again, the thing to do is to know where tools are pointing, where they are laid down, and who can reach them. Anyone allowed to use them should understand the responsibilities that come from using tools. Take special precautions to make sure the tools you are going to use with them are attached securely and safely. When you are finished with the job, don't forget to drain the tank. Most compressor units have a simple drain valve called a pit cock. Just turn this little valve to release all the remaining air pressure, and moisture, from the tank. This will give greater longevity to your tools and compressor. Moisture left in the tank can lead to internal rust and corrosion.

Whether you opt for gas powered, or electric, industrial air compressors are powerful additions to any shop. You probably already know the many uses that open up to you with one of these tools. Whether you are just doing basic sanding, painting a car in your backyard, blowing forced air to clean out the dust of your latest wood project, or any other use, you are best served if you use your compressor safely. It doesn't take much more than some basic common sense, and following the instructions.
