Otherwise, nothing else will get particularly warm, but always play it safe.
The compressor we did this test on, although it still works, is louder and does not fill the pneumatic system as quickly. Although it won't necessarily cause a catastrophic failure, it can cause permanent damage to the compressor.

We've seen this happen on a few of the 90C's we have, if you smell burning it's probably a good idea to stop
