General Electrical Connections
110-120 volt, 60Hz Tool Information
The plug supplied on your tool may not fit into the outlet
you are planning to use. Your local electrical code may
require slightly different power cord plug connections.
If these differences exist refer to and make the proper
adjustments per you local code before your tool is
plugged in and turned on.
In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electrical current
to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped
with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug, as shown. 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.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. 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.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-Volt circuit
and has a grounding plug similar to the plug illustrated
below. Only connect the product to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug. Do not use an adapter
with this product.
If the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if you are in doubt as to whether the tool
is properly grounded check with a qualified electrician or
service personnel.

Extension Cords
1. The air compressor should be located where it can
be directly plugged into an outlet. An extension cord
should not be used with this unit.
2. To avoid loss of power and overheating, additional
air hose must be used to reach work area instead of
extension cords.
Thermal Overload Protector
If overload protector shuts motor OFF frequently, look
for the following causes.
1. Low voltage.
2. Clogged air filter.
3. Lack of proper ventilation.
See Troubleshooting Chart for corrective action.
!
CAUTION:
This compressor is equipped with an automatic
reset overload protector which will shut off motor
if it becomes overloaded.
!
CAUTION:
If the overload protector is actuated, the motor
must be unplugged and allowed to cool down for
30 minutes before reuse.
!
DANGER:
To reduce the risk of electrocution:
1. Use only identical replacement parts when
servicing. Servicing should be performed by a
qualified technician.
2. Do not use in rain or where floor is wet. This
tool is intended for indoor residential use only.
!
WARNING:
Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of
plug when installing or removing the plug to or
from the outlet.
