_ _ WARNING: RiSK OF BURSTING
Air Tank: On February 26, 2002, the U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission published Release # 02-108 concerning air
compressor tank safety:
Air compressor receiver tanks do not have an infinite life. Tank
life is dependent upon several factors, some of which include
operating conditions, ambient conditions, proper installations, field
modifications, and the level of maintenance. The exact effect of
these factors on air receiver life is difficult to predict.
Ifproper maintenance procedures are not followed, internal corrosion
to the inner wall of the air receiver tank can cause the air tank to
unexpectedly rupture allowing pressurized air to suddenly and
forcefully escape, posing risk of injury to consumers.
Your compressor air tank must be removed from service by the end
of the year shown on your tank warning label.
The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank,
and result in a violent air tank explosion:

READ THIS OWNER'S MANUAL AND SAFETY RULES BEFORE
OPERATING YOUR UNIT. Compare the illustrationswith your unit
to familiarize yourself with the location of various controls and
adjustments. Save this manual for future reference.
ON(I)/OFF(O) SWITCH
Place this switch (A)in the ON (I)position to provide automatic power
to the pressure switch and OFF (O) to remove power at the end of
each use.
PRESSURE SWITCH (NOT SHOWN}
The pressure switch automatically starts the motor when the air tank
pressure drops below the factory set "cut-in" pressure. It stops the
motor when the air tank pressure reaches the factory set "cut-out"
pressure.
SAFETY VALVE
If the pressure switch does not shut off the air compressor at its
"cut-out" pressure setting, the safety valve (F)will protect against high
pressure by "popping out" at its factory set pressure (slightly higher
than the pressure switch "cut-out" setting).
CHECK VALVE (NOT SHOWN}
When the air compressor is operating, the check valve is "open",
allowing compressed air to enter the air tank. When the air
compressor reaches "cut-out" pressure, the check valve "closes",
allowing air pressure to remain inside the air tank.
TANK PRESSURE GAUGE
The tank pressure gauge (B) indicates the reserve air pressure in
the tank.
REGULATED PRESSURE GAUGE
The regulated pressure gauge (C) indicates the air pressure available
at the outlet side of the regulator. This pressure is controlled by the
regulator.
REGULATOR
The regulator (D) controls the air pressure shown on the outlet
pressure gauge. Turn regulator knob clockwise to increase pressure
and counterclockwise to decrease pressure.
QUICK CONNECT BODIES
The quick connect body (E)accepts industrial quick connect plugs.
The two quick connect bodies allow the use of two tools at the same
time.
DRAIN VALVE
The drain valve (G) is located at the base of the air tank and is used
to drain condensation at the end of each use. See Draining Air
Tank under Maintenance.
COOLING SYSTEM (NOT SHOWN}
This compressor contains an advanced design cooling system. At the
heart of this cooling system is an engineered fan. It is perfectly normal
for this fan to blow air through the vent holes in large amounts. You
know that the cooling system is working when air is being expelled.
AIR COMPRESSOR PUMP (NOT SHOWN}
The pump compresses air into the air tank. Working air is not
available until the compressor has raised the air tank pressure above
that required at the air outlet.
MOTOR OVERLOAD PROTECTOR (NOT SHOWN}
The motor has a thermal overload protector. Ifthe motor overheats for
any reason, the overload protector will shut off the motor. The motor
must be allowed to cool down before restarting. To restart:

1.SettheOn/Offswitch(A)toOFFandunplugunit.
2.Allowthemotortocool.
3.Plugthepowercordintothecorrectbranchcircuitreceptacle.
4.SettheOn/OffswitchtoONposition.
DUTY CYCLE (NOT SHOWN}
This air compressor pump is capable of running continuously.
However, to prolong the lifeof your air compressor, it isrecommended
that a 50% average duty cycle be maintained; that is, the air
compressor pump should not run more than 5 minutes in any 10
minute period.
iNSTALLATiON
Grounding instructions (Fig. 2)
AkWARNING: Risk of Electrical Shock. In the event of a short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current. This air compressor must
be properly grounded.
The portable air compressor is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug (J).
1. The cord set and plug (J)with this unit FIG.2
contains a grounding pin (L). This
plug MUST be used with a grounded
outlet (K).
IMPORTANT: The outlet being used
must be installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
2. Ensure the outlet being used has the same configuration as the
grounded plug. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER.
3. Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there are
signs of damage.
10
4. If these grounding instructions are not completely understood, or
if in doubt as to whether the compressor is properly grounded,
have the installation checked by a qualified electrician.
_DANGER: Risk of Electrical Shock. IMPROPER GROUNDING
CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
,Do not modify the plug provided, if #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 electrician.

Out-In Pressure: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops
when accessory is used. 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.

AAVERTISSEMENT: RISQUE D'L-CLATEMENT
R6servoir d'air comprim6 : Le 26 fevrier 2002, la U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission americaine a publie la regle n° 02-108
portant sur la securite en matiere de reservoir d'air comprime des
compresseurs :
Les reservoirs d'air comprime des compresseurs n'ont pas une
duree de vie illimitee. La duree de vie des reservoirs depend de
plusieurs facteurs, qui comprennent entre autres : les conditions
d'utilisation, les conditions ambiantes, une installation adequate, les
modifications sur site, et le niveau de maintenance. L'effet exact que
peut avoir ces facteurs sur la duree de vie des reservoirs d'air est
difficilement previsible.
Si les procedures adequates de maintenance ne sont pas suivies,
la corrosion sur la paroi interne du reservoir d'air comprime peut
faire que celui-ci eclate de fagon inopinee laissant soudainement
I'air pressurise s'echapper avec force, posant ainsi des risques de
dommages corporels _.I'utilisateur.
Le reservoir d'air de votre compresseur doit 6tre mis hors service _.

sur le reservoir.
Les conditions suivantes peuvent amener la degradation du
reservoir d'air, et faire que ce dernier explose violemment :
