IMPORTANT SAFETY

INFORMATION

In this manual, on the labeling, and

all other information provided 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.

General Safety Warnings

WARNING Read all safety warnings

and instructions. Failure to follow the

warnings and instructions may result

in electric shock, re and/or serious

injury.

Save all warnings and instructions

for future reference.

Work area safety1.

Keep work area clean and well lit.a.

Do not operate the Compressor inb.

explosive atmospheres, such as in

the presence of ammable liquids,

gases or dust. Compressor motors

produce sparks which may ignite the

dust or fumes.

Keep children and bystanders awayc.

from an operating compressor.

Electrical safety2.

Compressor plugs must match thea.

outlet. Never modify the plug in

any way. Do not use any adapter

plugs with grounded compressors.

Standard plugs and matching outlets

will reduce risk of electric shock.

Do not expose compressor to rainb.

a compressor will increase the risk of

electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Neverc.

doing 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

a compressor may result in serious

personal injury.

Use personal protective equipment.b.

Always wear ANSI-approved eye

protection during setup and use.

Prevent unintentional starting.c.

Ensure the Power Switch (133) is in

the off-position before connecting

to power source or moving the

compressor.

Compressor use and care4.

Do not use the compressor if thea.

Power Switch (133) does not turn

it on and off. Any compressor that

cannot be controlled with the Power

Switch is dangerous and must be

repaired.

Disconnect the plug from theb.

adjustments, changing accessories,

or storing the compressor. Such

preventive safety measures reduce

the risk of starting the compressor

accidentally.

Store an idle compressor out ofc.

the reach of children and do not

allow persons unfamiliar with the

compressor or these instructions to

operate it. A compressor is dangerous

in the hands of untrained users.

Maintain the compressor. Keepd.

the compressor clean for better

and safer performance. Follow

instructions for lubricating and

changing accessories. Keep dry,

clean and free from oil and grease.

Check for misalignment or binding

of moving parts, breakage of parts

and any other condition that may

affect the compressor’s operation.

If damaged, have the compressor

repaired before use. Many accidents

are caused by a poorly maintained

compressor.

Use the compressor in accordancee.

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 serviced bya.

a qualied repair person using only

identical replacement parts. This will

ensure that the safety of the compressor

is maintained.

FROM ACCIDENTAL

OPERATION:

Turn the Power Switch “OFF”,

unplug the Compressor from its

electrical outlet, and release all

air pressure from the air tank

before assembling or making any

adjustments to the compressor.

Note: For additional information regarding the

2. Connect a regulator valve, an inline shut

off valve and a 1/4” NPT air hose to the

Quick Coupler (all sold separately). The

air hose must be long enough to reach

the work area with enough extra length

to allow free movement while working.

Note: Adding an in-line shutoff valve, such

as the female quick disconnect at the

compressor outlet, is an important

safety device because it controls

the air supply even if the air hose is

ruptured.

Depending on the tool which you will3.

be using with this compressor, you

may need to incorporate additional

components, such as an in-line oiler,

a lter, or a dryer (all sold separately).

Consult your air tool’s manual for needed

accessories.

6. AFTER the Compressor builds up

enough pressure and shuts off, adjust

the Regulator Knob so that the air output

is enough to properly power the tool,

but the output will not exceed the tool’s

maximum air pressure at any time.

Turn the knob clockwise to increase

the pressure and counter-clockwise to

decrease pressure. Adjust the pressure

gradually, while checking the air output

gauge to set the pressure.

Note: At the beginning of the day’s rst use of

the Air Compressor, check for air leaks

by applying soapy water to connections

while the Air Compressor is pumping

and after pressure cut-out. Look for air

bubbles. If air bubbles are present at

connections, tighten connections. Do

not use the air compressor unless all

connections are air tight, the extra air

leaking out will cause the compressor to

operate too often, increasing wear on the

compressor.

Note: As long as the Power Switch (133) is

ON, the operation of the Air Compressor

is automatic, controlled by an internal

pressure switch. The Compressor will

turn on automatically when the air

pressure drops to 120 PSI, and will turn

off automatically when the air pressure

reaches 150 PSI. IMPORTANT: The

internal pressure switch is not user

adjustable. Do not make changes

to the air pressure settings of the

internal pressure switch. Any change

to the automatic pressure levels may

cause excess pressure to accumulate,

causing a hazardous situation and

voiding the warranty.

Emergency Depressurization

If it is necessary to quickly depressurize

MAINTENANCE AND

SERVICING

Procedures not specically

explained in this manual must

be performed only by a qualied

technician.

TO PREVENT

SERIOUS INJURY

FROM ACCIDENTAL

OPERATION:

Turn the Switch “OFF”, unplug

the Compressor from its

electrical outlet, and release all

air pressure from the air tank

before performing any

inspection, maintenance, or

cleaning procedures.

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY

FROM COMPRESSOR FAILURE:

Do not use damaged equipment.

If abnormal noise or vibration

occurs, have the problem

corrected before further use.

Cleaning, Maintenance, and

Lubrication

BEFORE EACH USE,1. inspect the

general condition of the Air Compressor.

Check for loose hardware, misalignment

or binding of moving parts, cracked or

broken parts, damaged electrical wiring,

and any other condition that may affect

its safe operation.

AFTER USE,2. wipe external surfaces of

the compressor with a clean cloth.
