PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Dress properly, wear protective equipment. Use breathing, ear, eye, face, foot, hand and head protection.
Always wear ANSI approved impact safety goggles, which must provide both frontal and side protection.
Always wear a mask when spraying. Protect your hands with suitable gloves. Wear a full face shield. Protect
your head from falling objects by wearing a hard hat. Wear an ANSI approved dust mask or respirator when
working around metal, wood and chemical dusts and mists. Wear ANSI approved earplugs. Protective,
electrically non-conductive clothes and non-skid footwear are recommended when working. Wear steel toed
boots to prevent injury from falling objects.
2. When using indoors, always make sure the area is well ventilated.
3. Do not over reach; keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
4. Keep any articles of clothing, jewelry, hair etc. away from moving parts. These can be caught in moving
parts, resulting in damage to the tool and/or serious injury.
5. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use your common sense. Do not operate any machine or tool when
you are tired, under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medications.
6. Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding the
work piece by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
7. Do not allow the spray to strike you and do not spray toward people or animals. Do not spray the
compressor itself or any electrical source.
8. Do not touch movable parts or accessories while the power source is still connected.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Make sure the power supply voltage is the same as the value indicated on the machine. Periodically check the power
cord for any damage or wear. Do not use if the cord is not in good condition. Contact Princess Auto
for repair or replacement. The power cord or extension should not cross areas being used for transport or
maintenance equipment.
1. Disconnect power supply. Disconnect from power supply when not in use, before cleaning, servicing or
changing any parts or accessories.
2. Protect yourself against electric shocks when working on electrical equipment. Avoid body contact with
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cooking stoves and refrigerators. There is an increased chance
of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
3. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will
fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double
insulation eliminates the need for a three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
4. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes
and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If
the tool should electronically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry
electricity away from the user.
5. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Do not operate this tool if the power cord is frayed or damaged.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock. Do not modify the
plug in any way.
7. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W". These cords are
rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock. Use in conjunction with a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI). If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, the use of a GFCI reduces the
risk of electric shock. It is recommended that the GFCI should have a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.

8. Avoid using an unnecessarily long extension cord. Choose a cord that is appropriate for the situation, as a
cord that is too long and running across the floor can be more dangerous than helpful. Using a cord that is
too long or too thin could damage the tool. Unroll the cord completely to prevent it from overheating.
9. Place the electrical cord in a position that prevents it from coming into contact with the tool and from getting
caught by the work piece. The cord should always stay behind the tool.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
• Your compressor has a grounded, three-prong plug. If using an extension cord, it must be a three-prong
type. You must connect to a three-prong receptacle only. The third prong is for grounding; do not remove or
disable the third prong, as this will create an unsafe condition.
• Common household current is 110-120 volts. As long as your compressor is rated from 110-120 volts,
there will be no complications in using power from a household receptacle. Never try to plug a tool designed
for 110-120 volts into a 220-240 volt receptacle. 220 volt plugs and outlets are shaped differently to
prevent this.
• Only use rounded jacket extension cords, preferably listed by UL (Underwriter’s Laboratories) or CSA.
• Make sure that the cord is rated for outdoor use, even if your application is indoors. Outdoor use cords have
the letters "WA" on the cord jacket.
ALL GROUNDED CORD CONNECTED TOOLS
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electrical shock. Tools equipped with an electric cord having an equipment grounding conductor
must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
WARNING! Do not modify the plug provided in any way. If the plug does not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent overheating
and motor burn out; use the table below to determine the minimum wire size (AWG) extension cord.
Use only 3 wire extension cords that have 3 prong grounding plugs, and 3 pole receptacles that accept
the tool’s plug

SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION! Your warranty is voided if you drop the Air Compressor. Always lift the air compressor using its handle.
WARNING! This Air Compressor is NOT designed for and should not be used to supply breathing air.
WARNING! Never attempt to repair or modify the Air Tank Component (1). Welding, drilling, or any other
modification will weaken the Tank resulting in damage from the rupture or explosion. Always replace worn,
cracked, or damaged Tanks.
WARNING! Use only an air hose with a minimum rating of 150 PSI.
1. Do not expose to a high-dust environment. Dusty conditions may increase wear on the compressor.
2. Make sure all tools and equipment used with the Air Compressor are rated to the appropriate capacity. Do
not use any tool or equipment that operates above 100 PSI.
3. Drain the Air Compressor every day. Do not allow excessive moisture to build up inside the Air Compressor’s
Tank. Do not unscrew the Drain Valve so that more than four threads are showing.
4. DO NOT alter or remove the Safety Valve (2).
5. Industrial applications must follow OSHA guidelines.
6. Never stand on the Air Compressor. Serious injury could result if the Compressor is tipped.
7. Never leave the Air Compressor unattended when it is plugged in and running. Turn off the Compressor, and
unplug the unit before leaving it.
8. Do not allow children and other unauthorized people to handle or play with the Air Compressor.
9. Do not modify the factory set pressure shutoff or start-up switches. This tool will do the work better and
safer at the speed and capacity for which it was designed.
10. Avoid body contact with oils and lubricants used in the Compressor. If swallowed, seek medical treatment
immediately. For skin contact, immediately wash with soap and water. For eye contact, immediately flush
eyes with clean water.
11. People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in close
proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.
WARNING! NEVER use WD-40 to clean or lubricate your air tool. WD-40 is a solvent that will break down the
internal grease and cause the air tool to seize up.

TOOL USE AND CARE
Use the correct tool for the work. The proper tool will do the work faster and safer.
• Do not use the tool if the On/Off switch is not working. Operating a tool that cannot be controlled by you is
dangerous and must be repaired before use.
• Always disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet before storing the tool, making adjustments or
adding/replacing accessories. This simple prevention will reduce the risk of accidental starting the tool.
• Store the tool in a secure place out of reach of children. A secure storage location will prevent the
unauthorized use by untrained users.
• Properly maintain tools. Keep all cutting tools sharp and clean. Remove contaminants from the tool and
keep clean. Check for broken parts or binding of moving parts before use. If damaged, have the tool serviced
before use. Prevent accidents caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories recommended for your model. Accessories suitable for one tool may become
hazardous when used on another tool.
AIR SOURCE
1. Disconnect air supply. Disconnect tools from air pressure source when not in use, before cleaning, servicing
or changing a piece or accessory. After disconnecting, discharge any residual air pressure.
2. Use proper size and type of air pressure line and fittings. The recommended air line for a tool with a 1/4" inlet
is 3/8" I.D.
3. Always verify prior to using a tool that the air source has been adjusted to the rated air pressure or within the
rated air-pressure range. Over pressurizing a tool may cause bursting, abnormal operation, breakage of the
tool or serious injury to persons. Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air at the rated range as marked
on the tool.
4. Never use pure oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases or any bottled gas as an air source for a tool.
Such gases are capable of causing an explosion and serious injury to persons. Do not use an air source
besides an air compressor to power this tool.
5. Always use an air regulator and a moisture trap in your compressed air system. These accessories will
increase the tool’s life and keeps the tool in good working condition.
6. Clean air inlet filter weekly.
7. Avoid using an unnecessarily long air hose. Avoid using too long of an air hose. The longer the hose, the
lower the pressure will be at the end of the hose, to the point that it may not meet the minimum required for
the tool. As well, a longer hose can become a tripping hazard.
8. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and make certain that all connections
are secure.
9. Always carry a tool by its handle; never carry the tool by the air hose.
10. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres). The hose
diameter should be 3/8" I.D.
11. Air tool CFM consumption ratings are based upon a 25% duty cycle. If you require continuous duty, a larger
compressor will be required (eg. 4.0 CFM tool at continuous duty requires 16.0 CFM to function at
maximum torque).
UNPACKING
1. Carefully remove the parts and accessories from the box.
2. Make sure that all items listed in the parts lists are included.
3. Inspect the parts carefully to make sure the compressor was not damaged while shipping.
4. Do not discard the packaging material until you have carefully inspected and satisfactorily operated the tool.
WARNING! If any part is missing, do not operate the tool until the missing parts are replaced. Failure to do so
could result in serious personal injury.

TO ADJUST THE AIR REGULATOR
Figure 3
1. With the supplied air-flow valve attached to the Pressure Regulator (4) and the valve handle in the "OFF"
position (handle perpendicular to the outlet pipe), turn the compressor on. When the maximum air pressure,
100 PSI, is reached as indicated by the Tank Pressure Gauge (5), the motor will stop.
2. Turn the Pressure Regulator (4) knob to adjust the Pressure Regulator (4). Turn the Pressure Regulator
(4) knob counter-clockwise to decrease the PSI, turn it clockwise to increase the PSI. When the Regulated
Pressure Gauge (3) shows the pressure that you want to limit the compressor to, the Pressure Regulator (4)
is set. (See Figure 3)
3. Between the Pressure Regulator knob and the valve body, a narrow ring acts as a lock-ring for the knob.
Rotate the ring in a counter-clockwise direction and tighten it against the knob to secure the setting.
(See Figure 3)
4. Attach the air hose to the air-flow valve, then the tool to the air hose. Turn on the air-flow valve to supply the
air pressure shown on Regulated Pressure Gauge (3) to the tool.
NOTE: When the maximum air pressure, 100 PSI, is reached as indicated by the Tank Pressure Gauge (5),
the motor will stop. The compressor will automatically restart when the air pressure drops bellow 85 PSI.
(See Figure 3)
TO STOP THE COMPRESSOR
1. Push the On/Off Power Switch (23) to its "OFF" position.
2. Turn the air-flow valve to OFF (the handle is perpendicular to the outlet pipe). Press the trigger on the tool to
relieve any air pressure still in the hose. Disconnect the hose from the air-flow valve.
3. Relieve the Air Tank pressure and remove moisture by opening the Tank Drain Valve (43). Turn the valve
slowly counter-clockwise until the pressure is relieved. Then retighten the Drain Valve (43). (See Figure 2)
4. Allow the Air Compressor to completely cool. Then store the unit in a clean, dry, safe location out of the
reach of children.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Make sure the On/Off Power Switch (23) of the Air Compressor is in its "OFF" position, the unit is
unplugged from its electrical outlet, and air is drained from the Tank Component (1) before performing any
inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures or leaving it unattended.
WARNING! Do not use damaged equipment.
1. Before each use, inspect the general condition of the Air Compressor. Check for loose screws, misalignment
or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, damaged electrical wiring, loose air fittings, and any
other condition that may affect the safe operation of the Compressor. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs,
have the problem corrected before further use.
2. Daily, purge the Air Tank Component (1) of all air and moisture to prevent corrosion. To do so, slowly and
carefully unscrew (no more than four threads) the Tank Drain Valve (43) until the compressed air and
condensation begins to be released from the Tanks. Allow sufficient time for all of the air and condensation
to escape from the Tanks. Then, firmly re-tighten the Tank Drain Valve (43).
3. To replace the Fuse (25), unscrew the fuse and replace with a 250V, 3A fuse.
CAUTION! All maintenance, service, or repairs not mentioned in this manual must only be performed by a
qualified service technician. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electrical shock or injury.
