INSTALLATION & GROUNDING
Lubrication and Oil: This compressor requires no lubrication or oiling. No break
in procedure is required by the user. This product is factory tested to ensure
proper operation and performance.
Location of the Air Compressor: The air compressor should always be
located in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated environment. The unit should have at
minimum, 30cm of space on each side. The air filter intake should be free of any
debris or obstructions. Check the air filter on a daily basis to be sure it is clean
and in working order.
Extension Cords: We do not recommend the use of an extension cord with this
product. This may result in the loss of power and overheating of the motor. An
additional air hose should be used instead of an extension cord. However, if the
use of an extension cord is unavoidable, use only UL listed wire extension cords
that have three-pronged grounding type plugs and three prong receptacles that
accept the tool’s plug. Improper use of extension cords may cause inecient
operation of your compressor, which can result in overheating.
Be sure your extension cord is rated to allow sucient ow to motor. Refer to the
guide for minimum gauge required for extension cords.
Use of an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw is
very important. Especially when the power source is of great distance. An exten-
sion cord that is insucient will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in power
loss and causing the motor to overheat.
Guard against electrical shock. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ovens, stoves, and refrigerator enclosures. If not properly
grounded, this power tool can incur the potential hazard of electrical shock,
particularly when used in damp locations. If an electrical shock occurs, there is
the potential of a secondary hazard such as your hands contacting an operating
air tool.
Grounding Instructions: This product
should be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces
the risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current. This
product is equipped with a cord having
a grounding wire with an appropriate
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances. Check with a
qualified electrician or service personnel
if these instructions are not completely
understood or if in doubt as to whether the
tool is properly grounded.
