Laboratories Standards for Safety.
Cut-In Pressure: While the motor
is off, air tank pressure drops as
you continue to use your acces-
sory. When the tank pressure drops
to a certain low level the motor will
restart automatically. The low pres-
sure at which the motor automatically
restarts is called "cutqn" 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 auto-
matically 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 elec-
tricity from electrical panel to outlet.
To Lock Out Power: Place a lock on
the line power switch so no one else
can turn on the power.
