APPLICATIONS
Air compressors are utilized in a variety of air system
applications. Match hoses, connectors, air tools, and
accessories to the capabilities of the air compressor.
You may use this tool for purposes listed below:
Operating some air-powered tools.
Inflating tires, air beds, sports equipment, etc.
USING THE AIR COMPRESSOR
See Figures 6 - 8.
Ensure tank drain is closed.
Ensure lever of the pressure switch is in the ‘OFF’
position and air compressor is unplugged.
Connect the air line to the quick coupler.
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with
side shields when operating power tools. Failure to do
so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes
resulting in possible serious injury.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you careless.
Remember that a careless fraction of a second is
sufficient to inflict serious injury.
CAUTION:
Do not use in an environment that is dusty or otherwise
contaminated. Using the air compressor in this type of
environment may cause damage to the unit.
WARNING:
Your tool may require more air consumption than this
air compressor is capable of providing. Check the tool
manual to avoid damage to the tool or risk of personal
injury.
Following all safety precautions in this manual and the
manufacturer’s instructions in the air tool manual, you
may now proceed to use your air-powered tool.
If using an inflation accessory, control the amount of air
flow with the pressure regulator knob. Turning the knob
fully counterclockwise will completely stop the flow of
air.
NOTE: Always use the minimum amount of pressure
necessary for your application. Using a higher pressure
than needed will drain air from the tank more rapidly
and cause the unit to cycle on more frequently.
When finished, always drain the tank and unplug the
unit. Never leave the unit plugged in and/or running
unattended.
OPERATION
WARNING:
Always ensure the lever of the pressure switch is in the
‘OFF’ position and the regulator pressure gauge read
zero before changing air tools or disconnecting the
hose from the air outlet. Failure to do so could result in
possible serious personal injury.
Rotate regulator knob fully counterclockwise in order to
close the air flow.
Fill the compressor pump with oil. Do not overfill.
Connect the power cord to the power supply.
Place the lever of the pressure switch in ‘AUTO’
position, in order to switch on the compressor.
Rotate pressure regulator knob to desired line
pressure. Turning the knob clockwise increases
air pressure at the outlet; turning counterclockwise
reduces air pressure at the outlet.
