SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPROPER OPERATION OR MAINTENANCE OF THIS PRODUCT COULD RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL
WARNINGS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS EQUIPMENT.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known (to the State of California) to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some example of these chemicals are:
•lead from lead-based paints
•crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products
• arsenic and chromium from chemically*treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, always wear MSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator when using
such tools.
When using air tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of of
personat injury.

WARNING: Risk of Bursting
Air Tank: The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the tank, end result
in e violent tank explosion and could cause property damage or serious injury.
What Could Haopen How To Prevent It
Modifications or attempted repairs to
the tank.
Unauthorized modifications to the
unloader valve, safety valve, or any
other components which control tank
ATTACHMENTS & ACCESSORIES:
Exceeding the pressure rating of air
tools, spray guns, air operated
accessories, tires, and other inflatables
can cause them to explode or fly apart,
and could result in serious injury.
Never drill into, weld, or make any
modifications to the tank or its
attachments.
For essential control of air pressure, you
must install e pressure regulator and
pressure gauge to the air outlet (if not
equipped) of your compressor. Follow the
equipment manufacturers
recommendation and never exceed the
maximum allowable pressure rating of
attachments. Never use compressor to
inflate small low pressure objects such
as children's toys, footballs,
basketballs, etc.

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
continue 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 automatically
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 pressure 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.
The accessories and tools are
available through the current Power
and Hand Tool Catalog or full-line
Sears stores.

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 considered misuse, because
the air compressor is undersized for
the required air demand. Maximum
compressor pumping time per hour is
30 minutes.

HOW TO SET UP YOUR
UNIT
Location of the Air Compressor
*Locate the air compressor in a
clean, dry, and well ventilated
area.
• Located the air compressor at
least 12" away from the wall or
other obstructions that will
interfere with the flow of air.
•Locate the air compressor as
close to the main power supply
as possible to avoid using long
lengths of electrical wiring.
NOTE: Long lengths of electrical
wiring could cause power loss to
the motor.
• The air filter must be kept clear
of obstructions which could
reduce air flow to the air
compressor.
Anchoring of the Air
Compressor
_Excessive Vibration
can weaken the air
tank and cause an explosion. The
compressor must be properly
mounted.
The air compressor MUST be bolted
to a solid, level surface.
Hardware needed:
4- Concrete anchors
4 - 3/8" Lag screw to fit
concrete anchors (not
supplied)
4 - 5/8" Washer (found in parts
bag) shims (if needed)
1. Place the air compressor on on a
solid, level surface.
2. Mark the surface using the holes
in the air compressor feet as a
template.
3. Drill holes in the surface for the
concrete anchors. Install
concrete anchors.
