chance of inhaling anything you are spraying. Also, NEVER directly inhale the air
BREATHING RISK.
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 here to determine the required minimum wire size.
Recommended Minimum Wire Gauge for Extension Cords* (120 V)
* Based on limiting the line voltage drop to five volts 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
•
•
•
If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix "W-A"("W" in
Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
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.

Through normal operation of your air compressor, condensation
water will accumulate in the tank. To prevent corrosion of the
tank from the inside, condensation must be drained at the end of
every work day. Be sure to wear protective goggles. Relieve the
air pressure in the system, then open the drain valve on the
bottom of the tank to drain. In cold conditions it is especially
important to drain the tank after each use to reduce the chance
of problems resulting from the freezing of condensation water.
NOTE: Refer to instructions on how to drain tank (page 19).
A dirty air filter will reduce air compressor performance and life.
To avoid contaminating the pump, the filter should be cleaned
frequently and replaced on a regular basis. Clean the foam filter
by immersing it in warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly after.
Before storing the air compressor, do the following:
• Drain tank (page 19).
• Use an air blow gun to clean all dust and debris from the
compressor.
• Disconnect and wind up the power cord.
• Clean the ventilation openings on the motor enclosure with a
damp cloth.
• Drain all moisture from the tank.
• Pull the pressure safety valve to release all pressure from the
tank.
• Cover the entire unit to protect it from moisture and dust.
• Store the air compressor in a clean and dry location.
• In cold weather, store the compressor in a warm building when
it is not in use. This will reduce problems related to starting the
motor and the freezing of water condensation.
•Before starting compressor, pull the ring on the safety valve (D) to make sure
that the safety valve operates freely. If the valve is stuck or does not operate
smoothly, contact a trained service technician.
