Thanks for the warning video, I have mine in a separate part of the shop, in a separate storage room, but still have to go in and turn on and off. Now I am more aware of the dangers, going to go ck the brand and look it over alot better.
For safety sake for one's that is hard mounted a expanded metal cage (like a tire cage) might be a good idea. As far as portables which this one was, hard call on how to go there.
For anyone getting a new one portable or not a moisture filter can keep down on the moisture pulled in and of course a daily or weekly tank drain.
No quick moisture drain on the smaller portable ones, some thing to think about....
Be safe, work safe.

Wow! That's a real eye opener, thanks for posting.
Tried to rep you but hit the "spread it around first" roadblock.
I have an IR with an 80 gallon tank. I'd hate to see that thing let go!
I drain the tank every time I use it, shut it off when I'm not and bleed off all the air.
