SPEED AND WIRING
The no-load speed of the electric motor varies by model and
specification. The motor speed is not constant and decreases
under a load or with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring
in a shop is as important as the motor’s horsepower rating.
A line intended only for lights cannot properly carry a power
tool motor. Wire that is heavy enough for a short distance will
be too light for a greater distance. A line that can support one
power tool may not be able to support two or three tools.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must 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
air compressor is equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that
is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-
grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in
doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit and has
a grounding plug similar to the plug illustrated in Figure 1.
Only connect the product to an outlet having the same con-
figuration as the plug. Do not use an adapter with this product.
WARNING:
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
