+===== 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).
