G8297/G8298/G8299 Air Compressors
After the compressor has fully pressurized the
tanks, turn the red knob on the pressure regula-
tor (See Figure 6) to set the pressure needed for
the air tool you will be using. Consult the manual
which accompanied your air tool to determine
what pressure setting is required for optimal oper-
ation. The gauge on the regulator will indicate the
pressure which will be delivered through the air
line.
Pressure Regulator
Make sure the compressor switch is in the OFF
position (the red button on top of the control box
should be in the fully depressed position, see
Figure 5) before connecting to the power supply.
Close the drain cock on the tanks. Pull the switch
to the ON position.

Always wear safety glasses and use
extreme caution when working around
compressed air. The force of the air stream
can cause small bits of debris to become
airborne and cause potential injury to the
eyes or other parts of the body. Never let
the full force of the air stream come in
direct contact with the skin as it can cause
abrasions or bruising.
