DANGER!

Potential hazard that will result in serious injury or loss of life.

•Risk of fire or explosion: Do not spray a flammable or combustible liquid or

paint near sparks, flames, pilot lights or in a confined area. The spray area

must be well-ventilated. Keep compressor at least 20’ (6 m) away from

spray area. Do not carry and operate the compressor or any other electrical

device near the spray area. Never smoke when spraying. Use a minimum of

25’

(7.6 m)

of hose to connect a spray gun to the compressor.

•Risk of electric shock: Do not expose to rain. Store the compressor indoors.

Hazardous voltage. Disconnect from power source before servicing.

Compressor must be grounded. Do not use grounding adaptors.

•Risk of bursting: Make sure the regulator is adjusted so that the compressor

outlet pressure is set lower than the maximum operating pressure of the

spray gun or tool. Before starting the compressor, pull the ring on the safety

valve to make sure the valve moves freely (see diagram on page 18). Drain

water from tank after each use. Do not weld or repair tank.

•Risk of personal injury: Never spray the compressed air or material at self or

others.

•Risk of bursting: Check the maximum pressure rating in the manual or

identification label. The compressor outlet pressure must be regulated so

that it does not exceed the maximum pressure rating. Relieve all pressure in

the hose before removing or attaching accessories.

•Risk of bursting: Do not adjust the pressure switch or safety valve for any

reason. They have been preset at the factory for this compressor’s maximum

pressure. Tampering with the pressure switch or the safety valve may cause

personal injury or property damage.

SAFETY GUIDELINES

5 U.S. GALLONS (18.9 L) •135 PSI (MAX) AIR COMPRESSOR 058-9315-2

•Risk of burns: The pump and the manifold generate high temperatures. In

order to avoid burns or other injuries, do not touch the pump, the manifold or

the transfer tube while the compressor is running. Allow the parts to cool

down before handling or servicing. Keep children away from the compressor

at all times.

•Risk of inhalation: Be certain to read all labels when you are spraying paints

or toxic materials, and follow all safety instructions. Use a respirator mask if

there is a chance of inhaling anything you are spraying. Also, NEVER directly

inhale the air produced by a compressor.

•Risk of eye injury: Wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety goggles when using an

air compressor. Do not point any nozzle or sprayer toward a person or any

part of the body. Serious injury may occur if the spray penetrates the skin.

WARNING!

Potential hazard that could result in serious injury or loss of life.

• Pull the pressure safety valve ring every day in order to

ensure that the valve is functioning properly.

SAFETY GUIDELINES

5 U.S. GALLONS (18.9 L) •135 PSI (MAX) AIR COMPRESSOR 058-9315-2

• The compressor must be located in a well-ventilated area for cooling, and

must be a minimum of 12” (31 cm) away from the nearest wall.

• Protect the air hose and the power cord from damage and puncture. Inspect

them for weak or worn spots every week, and replace them if necessary.

• Always wear hearing protection when using an air compressor. Failure to do

so may result in hearing loss.

• Do not carry the compressor while it is running.

• Do not operate the compressor if it is not in a stable position.

• Do not operate the compressor on a rooftop or an elevated position that

could allow the unit to fall or be tipped over.

• Always replace a damaged gauge before operating the unit again.

• Do not exceed the tool’s maximum working pressure.

• Do not attempt to open the drain valve when there is more than 10 PSI of

air pressure in the tank.

WARNING!

Potential hazard that could result in serious injury or loss of life.

SAFETY GUIDELINES

5 U.S. GALLONS (18.9 L) •135 PSI (MAX) AIR COMPRESSOR 058-9315-2

Extension cords

As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord.

Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss

of power and possible product damage. Refer to the table to determine the required minimum wire

size.

Note: It is not recommended to use an extension cord longer than 30'.

Recommended Minimum Wire Gauge for Extension Cords* (120 V)

* Based on limiting the line voltage drop to 5 V at 150% of the rated amperes.

The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a

14-gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16-gauge cord. When using more than one

extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire

size required.

Guidelines for using extension cords

• Ensure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a

damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified technician before using it.

• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excess heat and damp or wet areas.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

5 U.S. GALLONS (18.9 L) •135 PSI (MAX) AIR COMPRESSOR 058-9315-2

This Mastercraft®Air Compressor is ideal for a wide range of applications from fastening to greasing

and engine cleaning. The 5 U.S. gallon

(18.9 L)

design provides optimum pressure. It features a 1.5

HP induction motor for quiet operation and a cast-iron, oil-less pump for long-lasting, reliable

performance.

The procedures described in this manual are solely for this 5 U.S. gallon

(18.9 L)

air compressor at a

maximum of P=135 PSI. The device has been designed and constructed for household use only.

Compatible compressor and air tool -proper usage and operation

Always ensure the use of appropriately matched air tools with your Mastercraft®Air Compressor. Be

sure that the air compressor being used can supply the appropriate volume, pressure and delivery

rate of air to the tool(s) without running continuously. Using tools or combinations of tools that,

together or separately, require more than the air compressor can deliver will void the air compressor

guarantee/warranty.

Air compressor components

Electric motor

The motor is used to power the pump. It is equipped with a thermal overload protector. If the motor

overheats for any reason, the thermal overload protector will shut it down in order to prevent the

motor from being damaged.

Air compressor pump

The pump compresses the air and discharges it into the tank via the piston that moves up and down

in the cylinder.

WARNING!

Potential hazard that could result in serious injury or loss of life.

This air compressor is not designed for continuous operation or unlimited,

commercial operations and should be used in dry areas only. Do not exceed the

maximum working time.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

5 U.S. GALLONS (18.9 L) •135 PSI (MAX) AIR COMPRESSOR 058-9315-2

Pressure switch

This switch turns the compressor on and off. It is operated manually and when it is in the ON

position, it allows the motor to start if the pressure in the air tank is below the factory set cut-in

pressure, and allows the motor to stop if the pressure in the air tank reaches the factory set cut-out

pressure. Be sure to set this switch to the OFF position when the compressor is not being used and

before unplugging the compressor.

Safety valve

This valve is used to prevent system failure by draining pressure from the system when it reaches a

preset level if the pressure switch has not shut down the motor. It will pop open automatically, or it

can be activated manually by pulling the ring on the valve.

Air pressure regulator

The regulator is used to adjust the pressure inside the line to the tool that is being used. Turn the

knob clockwise to increase the pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease the pressure.

Tank pressure gauge

The gauge measures the pressure level of the air that is stored in the tank. It cannot be adjusted by

the operator and it does not indicate the pressure inside the line.

Outlet pressure gauge

The gauge measures the regulated outlet pressure.

Air outlet

The outlet is connected to the 1/4”

(6.4 mm)

NPT air hose.

Air tank drain valve

The drain valve is used to remove moisture from the air tank after the compressor is shut off.

Air tank

The tank is where the compressed air is stored.

Power cord

This compressor should be used on a nominal 120 V grounded circuit. Use a power cord that is

equipped with a grounding plug. Verify that the compressor is plugged into an outlet that has the

same configuration as the plug. Do not use an adaptor with this compressor.
