and all other information provid-

ed with this product:

This is the safety alert

symbol. It is used to alert

you to potential personal

injury hazards. Obey all

safety messages that

follow this symbol to avoid

possible injury or death.

DANGER indicates

a hazardous

situation which, if not

avoided, will result in death or

serious injury.

WARNING

indicates a

hazardous situation which, if

not avoided, could result in

death or serious injury.

CAUTION, used

with the safety

alert symbol, indicates a

hazardous situation which, if

not avoided, could result in

minor or moderate injury.

NOTICE is used to

address practices

not related to personal injury.

Failure to follow the warnings

and instructions may result in

injury.

Save all warnings and

instructions for future reference.

lose control.

Electrical safety2.

Compressor plugs must match thea.

the cord for carrying, pulling or

unplugging the compressor. Keep

cord away from heat, oil, sharp

edges or moving parts. Damaged

or entangled cords increase the risk

of electric shock.

If operating a compressor in ae.

damp location is unavoidable, use

a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter

(GFCI) protected supply. Use of

a GFCI reduces the risk of electric

shock.

TABLE A

USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD.f. Make sure your extension cord is

in good condition. When using an

extension cord, be sure to use one

heavy enough to carry the current

your product will draw. An undersized

cord will cause a drop in line voltage

resulting in loss of power and over-

heating. Table A shows the correct

size to use depending on cord length

and nameplate ampere rating. If in

doubt, use the next heavier gage.

The smaller the gage number, the

heavier the cord.

Personal safety3.

Stay alert, watch what you are do-a.

ing and use common sense when

operating this compressor. Do

not use this compressor while you

are tired or under the inuence of

drugs, alcohol or medication. A

moment of inattention while operating

compressors may result in serious

personal injury.

Use personal protective equip-b.

ment. Always wear eye protection.

Safety equipment such as dust mask,

non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or

hearing protection used for appropri-

ate conditions will reduce personal

injuries.

Prevent unintentional starting.c.Ensure the switch is in the off-po-

sition before connecting to power

source or moving the compressor.

Do not overreach. Keep properd.

footing and balance at all times.

This enables better control of the

compressor in unexpected situations.

Dress properly. Do not wear loosee.

clothing or jewelry. Keep your

hair, clothing and gloves away

from moving parts. Loose clothes,

jewelry or long hair can be caught in

moving parts.

Only use safety equipment thatf. has been approved by an appropri-

ate standards agency. Unapproved

safety equipment may not provide

adequate protection. Eye protection

must be ANSI-approved and breath-

ing protection must be NIOSH-ap-

proved for the specic hazards in the

work area.

Compressor use and care4.

Do not force the compressor. Usea.

the correct compressor for your

application. The correct compressor

will do the job better and safer at the

rate for which it was designed.

Do not use the compressor if theb.

switch does not turn it on and off.

Any compressor that cannot be con-

trolled with the switch is dangerous

and must be repaired.

Disconnect the plug from thec.power source of the compressor

before making any adjustments,

changing accessories, or stor-

ing compressors. Such preventive

safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the compressor accidentally.

Store idle compressors out of thed.

reach of children and do not allow

persons unfamiliar with the com-

pressor or these instructions to

operate it. Compressors are danger-

ous in the hands of untrained users.

Maintain compressors. Check fore.

misalignment or binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts and any

other condition that may affect the

compressor’s operation. If dam-

aged, have the compressor re-

paired before use. Many accidents

are caused by poorly maintained

compressors.

Use the compressor in accordancef. with these instructions, taking into

account the working conditions

and the work to be performed. Use

of the compressor for operations

different from those intended could

result in a hazardous situation.

Service5.

Have your compressor serviceda.

by a qualied repair person using

only identical replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the

compressor is maintained.

READ AND FOLLOW THESE

INSTRUCTIONS:

Grounded Compressors:

Compressors with Three Prong

Plugs

In the event of a malfunction or1. breakdown, grounding provides a

path of least resistance for electric

current to reduce the risk of electric

shock. This compressor is equipped

with an electric cord having an

equipment-grounding conductor and

a grounding plug. The plug must be

plugged into a matching outlet that

is properly installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and

ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided – if it2.

Improper connection of the equip-3. ment-grounding conductor can re-

sult in a risk of electric shock. The

conductor with insulation having an

outer surface that is green with or

without yellow stripes is the equip-

ment-grounding conductor. If repair

or replacement of the electric cord or

plug is necessary, do not connect the

equipment-grounding conductor to a

live terminal.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT

SAFETY INFORMATION

section at the beginning of this

manual including all text under

subheadings therein before set

up or use of this product.

TO PREVENT

SERIOUS INJURY

FROM ACCIDENTAL

OPERATION:

Turn the Power Switch of the

compressor to its “OFF”

position and unplug the

compressor from its electrical

outlet before assembling or

making any adjustments to

the compressor.

Note: For additional information regarding

the parts listed in the following pages,

refer to the Assembly Diagram near

the end of this manual.

Prior to using the Air Compressor,

make sure to familiarize yourself with its

basic features and methods of operation

as described in this section:

Power Switch (19):1. The Power

Switch turns the Air Compressor ON

and OFF. When the Power Switch

is in its ON position it allows the Air

Compressor to automatically start up

or shut down depending on the level

of compressed air in the Air Com-

pressor’s Tank (14).

Safety Valve (3):2. If the Air Compres-

sor does not automatically shut down

factory preset level, the Safety Valve

will automatically pop open to prevent

over pressurization in the Tank (14).

To operate the Safety Valve manually,

pull the ring on the Safety Valve to

relieve air pressure in the Tank.

Tank Pressure Gauge (2):3. The Tank

Pressure Gauge measures the air

pressure stored in the Tank (14), and

is not adjustable by the operator.

Tool Pressure Gauge (2A):4. The Tool

Pressure Gauge measures the air

pressure being supplied to the tool

being used.

Tool Pressure Regulator (6):5. The

Tool Pressure Regulator allows you to

adjust the air pressure (0 to 120 PSI)

being supplied to the tool being used.

Turn the Tool Pressure Regulator

clockwise to increase the air pressure

to the tool, and counterclockwise to

decrease the air pressure.
