GLOSSARY
Become familiar with these terms before operating the unit.
CFM: Cubic feet per minute.
SCFM: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air delivery.
PSIG: Pounds per square inch gauge; a unit of measure of pressure.
Code Certification: Products that bear one or more of the following marks: UL,
CUL, ETL, CETL, have been evaluated by OSHA certified independent safety
laboratories and meet the applicable Underwriters Laboratories Standards for
Safety.
Cut-In Pressure: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops as you continue
to use your accessory. When the tank pressure drops to a certain low level
the motor will restart automatically. The low pressure at which the motor
automatically restarts is called "cut-in" pressure.
Cut-Out Pressure: When an air compressor is turned on and begins to run,
air pressure in the air tank begins to build. It builds to a certain high pressure
before the motor automatically shuts off - protecting your air tank from pressure
higher than its capacity. The high pressure at which the motor shuts off is
called "cut-out" pressure.
Branch Circuit: Circuit carrying electricity from electrical panel to outlet.
DUTY CYCLE
This air compressor pump is capable of running continuously. However, to
prolong the life of your air compressor, it is recommended that a 50%-75%
average duty cycle be maintained; that is, the air compressor pump should not
run more than 30-45 minutes in any given hour.

A10382
Extension Cords
Using extension cords is not recommended. The use of extension cords will
cause voltage to drop resulting in power loss to the motor and overheating.
Instead of using an extension cord, increase the working reach of the air hose
by attaching another length of hose to its end. Attach additional lengths of hose
as needed.
If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:
• a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot
receptacle that will accept the plug on the product
• in good condition
• no longer than 50 feet
• 12 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as gauge number
decreases. 10 AWG and 8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT USE 14 OR
16 AWG.)
Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to the Parts Manual for the voltage and minimum branch circuit
requirements.
Certain air compressors can be operated on a 15 amp circuit if the following
conditions are met.
1. Voltage supply through branch circuit is 15 amps.
2. Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs (lights, appliances, etc.).
3. Extension cords comply with specifications.
4. Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp circuit breaker or 15 amp time delay fuse.
NOTE: If compressor is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use only
time delay fuses. Time delay fuses should be marked "D" in Canada and
"T" in the US.
If any of the above conditions cannot be met, or if operation of the compressor
repeatedly causes interruption of the power, it may be necessary to operate it
from a 20 amp circuit. It is not necessary to change the cord set.
