SAFETY OVERVIEW
WARNING - PERSONAL SAFETY
• ALWAYS wear correct personal protection equipment as needed for the task at
hand and with the air tools and accessories being used.
• ALWAYS wear safety goggles for eye protection. Other protective equipment
such as hearing protection, steel toe boots, safety apparel, work gloves and
face shield are all recommended.
DANGER – AIR TANK
• The air tank becomes a pressurized vessel when in use. Always treat it with
caution and respect because severe damage can cause ruptures that may
lead to explosive fragments.
• NEVER attempt to repair or make modications to the air tank or it’s attached
components. Welding, drilling or any other modications may weaken the tank,
which may result in damage from rupture or explosion.
• NEVER remove or attempt to adjust the pressure switch, safety valve, or other
factory set operating pressures.
• ALWAYS drain liquid from air tank daily, or after each use. Failure to drain the
tank will cause rust from moisture to build which will weaken the tank and lead
to rupture or explosion failures,
• NEVER use an air compressor with visible damage. Including, but not limited
to; dents, cracks, rust or bulges. Visible aw is an immediate safety concern.
WARNING – FIRE
• Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use compressor near gasoline or
ammable materials. Normal sparking of the motor or from grinding metal
could ignite fumes.
• NEVER spray ammable materials in the vicinity of the air compressor
because it may be an ignition source.
WARNING– UNBREATHABLE AIR
• NEVER use this air compressor as a source for breathable air.
• This air compressor is not designed, to supply breathable quality air. Air
produced by this unit may contain toxic fumes or lack su󰀩cient oxygen levels
to maintain life.
WARNING- ELECTRIC SHOCK KICKBACK
• This air compressor is powered by electricity and should never be used without
properly grounded electrical connections.
• NEVER expose to water or use in wet or damp conditions.
• NEVER use wet hands to plug in the power cord.
• NEVER use a damaged or modied cord or plug.
WARNING – PRESSURIZED AIR
• NEVER direct compressed air at people or pets. Extreme caution is required
with air nozzles that can discharge a concentrated stream of air.
• Be aware of loose debris or dirt that can be dislodged by pressurized air and
become projectiles that can cause injury or damage.
• ALWAYS wear eye protection when using an air compressor.

WARNING – AIR TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES
• NEVER exceed the pressure rating on any air tools, spray guns, accessories
or inatables. Excessive pressure can cause failure or explosion resulting in
injury.
• ALWAYS be familiar with the air tools and accessories that are being used.
Read the owner’s manual and be familiar with the operation and function of the
air tools and accessories.
• Inspect the air hoses before use. Be aware of any damage which can lead to
ruptures. Do not twist, bend, know, or modify hose. Do not wrap hose around
body.
CAUTION – HOT SURFACES
• Air compressors generate signicant heat during normal operation that may
cause serious burns. The compressor will remain hot for sometime after
shutdown.
• ALWAYS assume the air compressor can be hot and handle carefully. Be
especially careful around the pump, motor, and the related ttings and the
connections.
CAUTION – OVERHEATING
• Do not let your air compressor overheat. Failure to do so will result in undue
wear and tear, reduce life span, and can lead to component failure.
• Air compressor’s motor are air-cooled. Always ensure that the machine is
operated in a well-ventilated area where it can draw a steady supply of fresh
air. The arrows below show an example of locations for air ow on an engine.
• Always maintain the air lter to ensure adequate air ow into the pump.
SAFETY OVERVIEW
CAUTION - DUTY CYCLE
• The Duty Cycle is an expression of how much time an air compressor
can be continuously ran without overheating.
• This air compressor has a 50% Duty Cycle, which means that over a ten
minute time period it can safely operate for ve minutes, and should rest
for ve minutes.
• The air compressor can be run straight without stopping, however,
this will surpass the duty cycle and begin to create wear and tear from
overheating.
• ALWAYS match the performance of the air compressor to what the
demands of the tools and applications required.

INSTALLATION & GROUNDING
Lubrication and Oil: This compressor requires no lubrication or oiling. No break
in procedure is required by the user. This product is factory tested to ensure
proper operation and performance.
Location of the Air Compressor: The air compressor should always be
located in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated environment. The unit should have at
minimum, 30cm of space on each side. The air filter intake should be free of any
debris or obstructions. Check the air filter on a daily basis to be sure it is clean
and in working order.
Extension Cords: We do not recommend the use of an extension cord with this
product. This may result in the loss of power and overheating of the motor. An
additional air hose should be used instead of an extension cord. However, if the
use of an extension cord is unavoidable, use only UL listed wire extension cords
that have three-pronged grounding type plugs and three prong receptacles that
accept the tool’s plug. Improper use of extension cords may cause ine󰀩cient
operation of your compressor, which can result in overheating.
Be sure your extension cord is rated to allow su󰀩cient ow to motor. Refer to the
guide for minimum gauge required for extension cords.
Use of an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw is
very important. Especially when the power source is of great distance. An exten-
sion cord that is insu󰀩cient will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in power
loss and causing the motor to overheat.
Guard against electrical shock. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ovens, stoves, and refrigerator enclosures. If not properly
grounded, this power tool can incur the potential hazard of electrical shock,
particularly when used in damp locations. If an electrical shock occurs, there is
the potential of a secondary hazard such as your hands contacting an operating
air tool.
Grounding Instructions: This product
should be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces
the risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current. This
product is equipped with a cord having
a grounding wire with an appropriate
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances. Check with a
qualified electrician or service personnel
if these instructions are not completely
understood or if in doubt as to whether the
tool is properly grounded.

OPERATION
Start-Up Procedure
1. Set the On/Off switch to the off position.
2. Visually check for any damage or obstruction.
3. Close the drain valve.
4. Plug the power cord into the proper receptacle.
5. Turn the On/Off switch to the On position and the compressor should start.
6. The machine will start and begin to build air pressure.
7. Adjust the regulator to a PSI setting that is recommended for your application.
8. The air compressor is now ready for use.
WARNING Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in a risk of
electric shock. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation
having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
grounding wire. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided; if it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Shut-Down Procedure
1. Set the Auto-On/Off lever to the Off position.
2. Set the outlet pressure to zero on the regulator.
3. Unplug the power cord from the receptacle.
4. Remove any air tools or accessories.
5. Open the drain valve allowing air to bleed from the tank. After all of the air has
bled from the tank, close the drain valve to prevent debris buildup in the valve.
Water that remains in the tank during storage will corrode and weaken the air
tank, which could cause the tank to rupture. To avoid serious injury, be sure to
drain the tank after each use or daily.
CAUTION When draining the tank, always use ear and eye protection. Drain
the tank in a suitable location; condensation will be present in most cases of
draining.
