WARNING:
Read and understand all instructions. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents. Floor must not
be slippery from wax or dust.
Do not operate air compressors in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating an air compressor. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
Operate air compressor in an open area at least 18 in.
away from any wall or object that could restrict the
flow of fresh air to ventilation openings.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
Don’t expose air compressors to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering an air compressor will increase the
risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry
the air compressor or pull the plug from an outlet.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving
parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating an air compressor outside, use an out-
door extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords
are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Eye protection which conforms to ANSI specifications
and provides protection against flying particles both
from the FRONT and SIDE should ALWAYS be worn by
the operator and others in the work area when load-
ing, operating, or servicing this product. Eye protection
is required to guard against flying fasteners and debris,
which could cause severe eye injury.
The employer and/or user must ensure that proper
eye protection is worn. We recommend a Wide Vision
Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety
glasses that provide protection against flying particles
both from the front and side. Always use eye protection
which is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
Additional safety protection will be required in some
environments. For example, the working area may
include exposure to a noise level which can lead to hear-
ing damage. The employer and user must ensure that any
necessary hearing protection is provided and used by the
operator and others in the work area. Some environments
will require the use of head protection equipment. When
required, the employer and user must ensure that head
protection marked to comply with ANSI Z89.1 is used.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use com-
mon sense when operating the air compressor. Do
not use product while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating an air compressor may result in serious
personal injury.

footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
air compressor in unexpected situations.
AIR COMPRESSOR USE AND CARE
Do not exceed the pressure rating of any component
in the system.
Protect material lines and air lines from damage or
puncture. Keep hose and power cord away from sharp
objects, chemical spills, oil, solvents, and wet floors.
Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each
use, making certain all connections are secure. Do not
use if defect is found. Purchase a new hose or notify an
authorized service center for examination or repair.
Release all pressures within the system slowly. Dust
and debris may be harmful.
Store idle air compressors out of the reach of children
and other untrained persons. Air compressors are dan-
gerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain air compressors with care. Follow mainte-
nance instructions. Properly maintained products are
easier to control.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
affect the product’s operation. If damaged, have the
air compressor serviced before using. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained products.

fire, or serious injury.
Drain tanks of moisture after each day’s use. If unit will
not be used for a while, it is best to leave drain valve open
until such time as it is to be used. This will allow moisture
to completely drain out and help prevent corrosion on the
inside of tanks.
Risk of Fire or Explosion. Do not spray flammable liquid
in a confined area. Spray area must be well ventilated. Do
not smoke while spraying or spray where spark or flame
is present. Keep compressors as far from the spraying
area as possible, at least 20 feet from the spraying area
and all explosive vapors.
Risk of Bursting. Do not adjust regulator to result in output
pressure greater than marked maximum pressure of attach-
ment. Do not use at pressure greater than 150 psi.
If connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use time-
delay fuses with this product.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to
rain. Store indoors.
Inspect tanks yearly for rust, pin holes, or other
imperfections that could cause it to become unsafe.

until the sleeve springs forward to lock in place.
To lessen the chance of the air compressor becoming
unbalanced during use, route the air hose through the
hose track on the bottom then over to your worksite.
To disconnect an air hose or an air tool:
Confirm that the outlet pressure is at zero (0) psi.
When disconnecting a hose from quick-connect coupler
(1/4 in.), always firmly hold fitting end of hose.
Push back on the release sleeve on the 1/4 in. quick-
connect coupler.
With a firm grip, pull out the quick-connect air fitting that

BREAK-IN PERIOD
Before first use, run the air compressor at zero (0) tank pres-
sure with the drain valve fully open for 30 minutes.
TURNING THE AIR COMPRESSOR ON/OFF
See Figure 4, page 17.
With the air compressor plugged in, turn the auto on/off
switch to the AUTO ON (I ) position to power the com-
pressor on.
To turn the air compressor off, turn the auto on/off switch
to the OFF (O ) position.
NOTE: When the compressor is in the AUTO ON (I) position,
the air compressor will automatically turn back on when the
designated tank air pressure drops below the cut-in pressure.
It will also shut off again when the cut-off pressure is reached.
OPERATION

12 – English
RESETTING THE AIR COMPRESSOR
When amperage into the air compressor exceeds the speci-
fied amperage, the air compressor will automatically shut off.
To reset the air compressor:
Turn the air compressor off.
Unplug the air compressor and allow to cool for 30
minutes.
Plug the air compressor into an approved outlet.
Turn the air compressor on.
DRAINING THE TANK
See Figure 6 - 7, page 17.
To help prevent tank corrosion and keep moisture out of the
air used, the air tank of the compressor should be drained
daily.
To drain:
Turn the air compressor off and disconnect the plug from
the power supply.
Pull the ring on the safety valve to release pressure until
pressure gauge reads less than 20 psi.
Release the ring.
Rotate drain valve counterclockwise to open.
Tilt tank as shown to drain moisture from tank into a suit-
able container.
NOTE: Condensate is a polluting material and should be
disposed of in compliance with local regulations.
If drain valve is clogged, release all air pressure, remove
and clean valve, then reinstall.
WARNING:
Unplug the air compressor and release all air from
the tank before servicing. Failure to depressurize
tank before attempting to remove valve can cause
serious personal injury.
Rotate drain valve clockwise until tightly closed.
WARNING:
RISK OF BURSTING. All compressed air tanks
have a limited lifespan. The lifespan can be
affected by a number of factors, including oper-
ating conditions of the air compressor, proper
maintenance of the tank, and unauthorized repairs
and modifications. Since deterioration of the tank
can occur internally with no outward signs, the
air tank(s) on this compressor MUST be removed
from service by the end of the year shown on the
data label. Use of the air compressor after this
date increases the risk of an air tank rupture, which
could result in serious personal injury.
CHECKING THE SAFETY VALVE
See Figure 6, page 17.
DANGER:
Do not attempt to tamper with the safety valve.
Anything loosened from this device could fly up
and hit you. Failure to heed this warning could
result in death or serious personal injury.
The safety valve will automatically release air if the air tank
pressure exceeds the preset maximum. The valve should be
checked before each day of use by pulling the ring by hand.
Turn the air compressor on and allow the tank to fill. The
compressor will shut off when the pressure reaches the
preset maximum.
Turn the air compressor off.
Pull the ring on the safety valve to release air for three to
five seconds to allow pressurized air to escape. Release
the ring. The safety release valve must reset and hold
pressure before all compressed air is exhausted from the
tank/pressure vessel.
Any continued loss of air after performing the above steps
indicates a problem with the safety valve. Discontinue
use and seek service before continued use of the air
compressor.
WARNING:
If air leaks after the ring has been released or if
the valve is stuck and cannot be actuated by the
ring, do not use the air compressor until the safety
valve has been replaced. Use of the air compressor
in this condition could result in serious personal
injury.
