available through the current Power and Hand Tool Catalog or full-line Sears
stores.
GLOSSARY
Become familiar with these terms
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.
Accessories
• In Line Filter
• Tire Air Chuck
• Quick Connector Sets (various
sizes)
• Air Pressure Regulators
• Oil Fog Lubricators
• Air Hose:1/4", 3/8" or 1/2" inside
diameter in various lengths
Refer to the selection chart located
on the unit to select the tools this unit
is capable of powering.
DUTY CYCLE
This air compressor pump is
capable of running continuously.
However, to prolong the life of your
air compressor, it is recommended
