SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPROPER OPERATION OR MAINTENANCE OF THIS PRODUCT COULD RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARN-
INGS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS EQUIPMENT.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other con*
struation 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, propeity 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 per_
sonal injury.

Unauthorized modifications to the
unloader valve, safety valve, or any
other components which control tank
pressure.
Excessive vibration can weaken the air The tank is designed to withstand specific
tank and cause rupture or explosion operating pressures. Never make adjust_
merits or parts substitutions to alter the
factory set operating pressures.
ATTACHMENTS & ACCESSORIES:
Exceeding the pressure rating of air
tools, spray guns, air operated acces-
sories, tires, and other inflatables can
cause them to explode or fly apart, and
could result in serious injury.
For essential control of air pressure, you
must install a 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 pres-
sure objects such as children's toys,
footballs, basketballs, etc.
WARNING: Risk from Flying Objects
What Could Happen How To Prevent It
The compressed air stream can cause
soft tissue damage to exposed skin and
can propel dirt, chips, loose particles,
and small objects at high speed, result-
ing in property damage or personal injury.
Always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety
glasses with side shields when using the
compressor.
Never point any nozzle or sprayer
toward any part of the body or at other
people or animals.

WARNING: Risk to Breathing
What Could Happen How To Prevent It
The compressed air directly from your
compressor is not safe for breathing.
The air stream may contain carbon
monoxide, toxic vapors, or solid parti-
cles from the tank. Breathing these
contaminants can cause serious injury
or death.
Sprayed materials such as paint, paint
solvents, paint remover, insecticides,
weed killers, may contain harmful
vapors and poisons.
Air obtained directly from the compressor
should never be used to supply air for
human consumption. In order to use air
produced by this compressor for breath-
ing, suitable filters end in-line safety
equipment must be properly installed.
In-line filters and safety equipment used
in conjunction with the compressor must
be capable of treating air to all applica-
ble local and federal codes prior to
human consumption.
Work in an area with good cress ventila-
tion. Read and follow the safety instruc-
tions provided on the label or safety data
sheets for the materials you are spray-
ing. Use a NtOSH/MSHA approved res-
pirator designed for use with your specific
application.

CFM: Cubic feet per minute.
SCFM: Standard cubic feet per
minute; a unit of measure of air deliv-
ery.
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 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.

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.

Unpacking
1. Remove unit from car_on and
discard all packaging.
HOW TO SET UP YOUR
UNIT
Location of the Air Compressor
Locate the air compressor in a clean,
dry and well ventilated area. The air
compressor should be located at
least 12" away from the wall or other
obstructions that will interfere with
the flow of air. The air compressor
pump and shroud are designed to
allow for proper cooling. The ventila-
tion openings on the compressor are
necessary to maintain proper operat-
ing temperature. Do not place rags or
other containers on or near these
openings.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
RISK OF ELECTRI-
CAL SHOCK. In
the event of ashort circuit, ground-
ing reduces the risk of shock by
providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This air compres-
sor must be properly grounded.
The portable air compressor is
equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with an appropriate
grounding plug (see following illustra-
tions). The plug must be used with
an outlet that has been installed and
grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
1. The cord set and plug with this
unit contains a grounding pin.
This plug MUST be used with a
grounded outlet.
IMPORTANT: The outlet being used
must be installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
2. Make sure the outlet being used
has the same configuration as
the grounded plug. DO NOT
USE AN ADAPTER. See illustra-
tion.

3. inspect the plug and cord before
each use. Do not use if there are
signs of damage.
4. If these grounding instructions
are not completely understood,
or if in doubt as to whether the
compressor is properly ground-
ed, have the installation checked
by a qualified electrician. CAN
RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Do not modify the plug provided. If
it does not fit the available outlet, a
correct outlet should be installed
by a qualified electrician.
Repairs to the cord set or plug
MUST be made by a qualified elec-
trician.
