GLOSSARY
Become familiar with these terms before operating the unit.
CFM: Cubic feet per minute.
SCFM: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air delivery.
PSIG: Pounds per square inch gauge; a unit of measure of pressure.
Code Certification: Products that bear one or more of the following marks:
UL, CUL, ETL, CETL, have been evaluated by OSHA certified independent
safety laboratories and meet the applicable Underwriters Laboratories
Standards for Safety.
Cut-In Pressure: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops as you contin-
ue to use your accessory. When the tank pressure drops to a certain low level
the motor will restart automatically. The low pressure at which the motor auto-
matically restarts is called “cut-in” pressure.
Cut-Out Pressure: When an air compressor is turned on and begins to run,
air pressure in the air tank begins to build. It builds to a certain high pressure
before the motor automatically shuts off - protecting your air tank from pres-
sure higher than its capacity. The high pressure at which the motor shuts off is
called “cut-out” pressure.
Branch Circuit: Circuit carrying electricity from electrical panel to outlet.
DUTY CYCLE
Air compressors should be operated on not more than a 50% duty cycle. This
means an air compressor that pumps air more than 50% of one hour is consid-
ered misuse, because the air compressor is undersized for the required air
demand. Maximum compressor pumping time per hour is 30 minutes.

tainer.
