Craftsman 921.16475 Air Compressor User Manual


 
Pressure Switch (see A)
This switch turns on the compressor. It is operated manually,
but when in the ON position, it allows the compressor to start up
or shut down automatically, without warning, upon air demand.
ALWAYS set this switch to OFF when the compressor is not
being used, and before unplugging the compressor.
Pressure Relief Valve (see B)
If the pressure switch does not shut down the motor when
pressure reaches the preset level, this valve wilt pop open
automatically to prevent over pressurization. To operate
manually, pull the ring on the valve to relieve air pressure in the
tank.
Tank Pressure Gauge (see C)
This gauge measures the pressure level of the air stored in
the tank. It isnot adjustable by the operator, and does not
indicate line pressure.
Air Pressure Regulator (see D)
This air pressure regulator enables you to adjust line
pressure to the tool you are using.
__ Never exceed the maximum working
pressure of the tool.
Turn the knob clockwise to increase pressure, and
counterclockwise to decrease pressure.
Regulated Pressure Gauge (see E)
