SCFM or CFM: Standard Cubic Feet per Minute; a
unit of measurement of air delivery.
PSIG or PSI: Pounds per square inch gauge.
U.L. Listed: Products that are listed by Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc. (UL) have been evaluated by UL and
meet applicable UL Standards of Safety.
Congratulations! You have purchased a one cylinder,
compact, permanently lubricated compressor. The
absence of a tank and the ultra light weight gives you
added mobility as well as ease in storage, while it
allows you to utilize many air tools, including inflators,
blow guns, spray guns, air brushes, caulking guns and
etchers. Permanently lubricated (oilless) design
means you never have to add oil which also guaran-
tees that you will spray entirely oilfree air.
A 1/4" x 15' air hose with integral pressure adjusting
valve is supplied with your compressor, as well as an
air chuck. Accessories for use with your new com-
pressor are available through the current Sears Power
and Hand Tools Catalog or at full line Sears stores.
Your compressor will operate many accessories.
Check the pressure and flow rating recommended by
the accessory manufacturer. Make sure it is compat-
ible with the air delivery of your compressor.
The compressor outfit you have chosen is unique in
that it combines the portability of a compact with
many of the capabilities of a much larger tank outfit.
With your new compressor outfit you can operate
many of the power tools that until now required a
much larger and more costly compressor outfit,
without sacrificing portability or operating features
normally found only on compact compressors. The
pump is a state-of-the-art, lightweight, permanently
lubricated design powered by a motor. The perma-
nent lube design means you never have to add oil
which also guarantees that you will spray entirely
oilfree air.

Accumulator Tank (not included on some models):
Your accumulator tank is equipped with a relief (pop-
off) valve to prevent an over pressure condition in the
tank. This 2 gallon tank is not designed to store air,
but rather to provide the additional volume of com-
pressed air necessary to operate a wide variety of air
tools. When starting your compressor, attach the tool
to the hose, set the pressure adjusting valve at the
required pressure, wait a few moments until the tank
fills with air. You will know the tank is filled when you
hear air bleeding through the pressure adjusting valve.
Depending on the type and size of tool being used,
you will occasionally need to wait for the tank to refill
before continuing. When you are finished or changing
tools, turn the compressor switch off and set the
pressure adjusting valve to 10 PSI and wait for the
tank to discharge completely.
Grasp the handle and lift the air compressor out of the carton. Remove the styrofoam and/or cardboard and
discard.
7 - ENG D20449 Rev. 0 2/15/00

Location of the Air Compressor
Your compressor comes to you completely as-
sembled and ready for use. Operate the air compres-
sor in a dry, clean, cool and well ventilated area. The
air compressor pump and case are designed to allow
for proper cooling. Clean or blow off dust or dirt that
collects on the air compressor. A clean air compres-
sor runs cooler and provides longer service. The
ventilation openings on your air compressor are
necessary to maintain proper operating temperature.
Do not place rags or other containers on or near
these openings.
Extension Cords
Use extra air hose instead of an extension cord to
avoid voltage drop and power loss to the motor.
If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:
• a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will
accept the plug on the compressor
• in good condition
• no longer than 50 feet
• 14 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as
gauge number decreases.) 12 AWG, 10 AWG
and 8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT USE 16
OR 18 AWG.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN
ELECTRICAL SHOCK. IN THE EVENT OF A
SHORT CIRCUIT, GROUNDING REDUCES
THE RISK OF SHOCK BY PROVIDING AN
ESCAPE WIRE FOR THE ELECTRIC CUR-
RENT. THIS AIR COMPRESSOR MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED. READ THE
FOLLOWING:
1. The air compressor is designed for 120 volt
operation only and is equipped with a cord having
a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding
plug. The plug must be used with an outlet that
has been installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances (see Figure
below). The outlet must have the same configu-
ration as the plug. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER.
2. Do not modify the plug that has been provided. If
.
it does not fit the available outlet, the correct
outlet should be installed by a qualified electri-
cian.
Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do
not use if there are signs of damage.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. IF REPAIR-
ING OR REPLACING CORD OR PLUG, THE
GROUNDING WIRE MUST BE KEPT SEPA-
RATE FROM THE CURRENT-CARRYING
WIRES. NEVER CONNECT THE GROUND-
ING WIRE TO A FLAT BLADE PLUG TERMI-
NAL. (THE GROUNDING WIRE HAS INSU-
LATION WITH AN OUTER SURFACE THAT
IS GREEN - WITH OR WITHOUT YELLOW
STRIPES.)
If these grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the compres-
sor is properly grounded, have the installation
checked by a qualified electrician.

Air Hose
The air hose attached to your compressor has an
integral pressure adjusting valve at the working end of
the hose. Should service or replacement be required,
make sure that the pressure adjusting valve is present
in the air hose line.
Do not allow hose to become kinked or
pinched at any time. This is important to
avoid damage to your compressor and to
maintain pressure adjusting valve control.
Do NOT replace the hose with standard
hose that is not equipped with the pressure
adjusting valve. The appropriate hose
assembly for your compressor is available
at Sears.
1. Before plugging in the air compressor, set the
adjustable pressure valve to "10" PSI. Make sure
the "ON/OFF" switch is in the "OFF" position.
2. Connect the air tool or accessory to the air hose.
Tighten securely.
3. Plug the power cord into the grounded outlet.
4. Start the compressor by setting the "ON/OFF"
switch to the "ON" position.
TOO MUCH AIR PRESSURE COULD
CAUSE AN AIR TOOL OR VEHICLE TIRE TO
RUPTURE OR EXPLODE. CAREFULLY
FOLLOW STEPS 5 AND 6 EACH TIME YOU
USE YOUR COMPRESSOR.
.
.
Check the manufacturer's maximum pressure
rating for the air tool, accessory or vehicle tire
being used. The air compressor outlet pressure
must never exceed the maximum pressure rating.
Slowly increase the pressure setting of the adjust-
able pressure valve. You should be able to hear
and feel air pressure being relieved by the adjust-
able pressure valve. If pressure is not being
relieved, turn the air compressor off immediately.
The pressure valve must be replaced.
Compressed air from the outfit may contain
water condensation. Do not spray unfil-
tered air at an item that could be damaged.
Some air operated tools or devices may
require filtered air. Read the instructions
for the air tool or device.
.
.
When you have finished using the air compressor:
Set the "ON/OFF" switch to "OFF" and unplug the
cord.
Relieve all pressure from the air compressor head
and air hose by turning the adjustable pressure
valve to 10 P.S.I.
3. Protect the electrical cord and air hose from
damage by winding them loosely around the air
com pressor.
4. Store the air compressor in a clean and dry
location.

hobbyists can find many uses for air brushes.
CAULKING GUN: This is a handy tool for many
common household jobs. The caulking gun is
excellent for caulking and glazing around windows,
bathtubs, window casements and wall tile. It is also a
handy tool for applying adhesives, such as for dry wall
application.
POWER WASHER: The power washer works well for
your many outside cleaning jobs. It will reach high
places and help clean your home and siding as well as
clean your driveway and car. It can degrease car
engines and tools. By adding foliage spray, you can
spray your bushes and plants for insects.
ETCHER/CLEANER: Used with your compact
compressor you can decoratively etch wood or glass
with the etcher/cleaner. It can also be used to remove

iFelicitaciones! Usted ha comprado un compresor
compacto de un s61o cilindro de lubricaci6n permanente.
La falta de un tanque y el peso ultra liviano le brinda mayor
movilidad, asi como facilidad de almacenaje, a la vez que le
permite usar varias herramientas neumaticas, incluyendo
infladores, pistolas sopladoras, pistolas pulverizadoras,
pistolas limpiadoras, pistolas aplicadoras de masilla y
canteadores. Lubricaci6n permanente (sin aceite) significa
que nunca hay que agregar aceite Io cual tambi6n garantiza
que el aire rociado estarA completamente libre de aceite.
Con el compresor de aire se provee una manguera
neumatica de 1/4" x 15' con una valvula integral de
regulaci6n de presi6n asi como un mandril neumatico.
Accesorios para su nuevo compresor estan disponibles
mediante el catAIogo actual de ventas de Sears o en
tiendas Sears de linea completa. El compresor operarA
varios accesorios. Verificar la presi6n y flujo de aire
recomendados por el fabricante de los accesorios.
Asegurarse que sean compatibles con el suministro de aire
del compresor.
El unidad compresora que ha escogido es Qnica porque
combina la portabilidad de un compresor compacto con
muchas de las opciones de una unidad mayor con tanque.
Con el nuevo compresor, se pueden operar muchas de las
herramientas neumaticas que hasta ahora requerian de una
unidad compresora mas grande y mas costosa, sin
sacrificar la portabilidad o las caracteristicas de operaci6n
que normalmente s61o se encuentran en compresores
compactos. La bomba es de un disefio liviano, de
lubricaci6n permanente, de alta tecnologia, propulsada por
un motor de 3/4 HP. El disefio de lubricaci6n permanente
significa que nunca hay que agregar aceite Io cual tambi6n
garantiza que el aire rociado estarA completamente libre de
aceite.

Bomba del Compresor de Aire: Para comprimir aire, el
pist6n se mueve de arriba a abajo en el cilindro. En la
carrera hacia abajo, el aire ingresa por las vAIvulas de
admisi6n. La vAIvula de salida permanece cerrada.
Cuando el pist6n corre hacia arriba, el aire se comprime.
Las valvulas de admisi6n se cierran y el aire comprimido es
forzado a salir por la vAIvula de salida y por la manguera
neumatica.
Valvula de Presibn Regulable: La valvula de presi6n
controla la presi6n que va del compresor de aire al
accesorio. La valvula de regulaci6n de presi6n puede
usarse para aproximadamente fijar la presi6n entre 10 y 125
PSI. (125 PSI es lamas alta presi6n que este compresor
suministrarA).
ANTES DE ARRANCAR EL COMPRESOR,
SIEMPRE FIJAR LA VALVULA POR DEBAJO DE
LA PRESION REQUERIDA POR EL ACCESORIO
QUE SE EST.&.USANDO. PARA INFLAR Y
OTROS TRABAJOS QUE REQUlERAN DE UNA
PRESION EXACTA, USAR UN MEDIDOR DE
PRESION.
Tanque de Acumulacibn (no se incluye en algunos
modelos): Su tanque esta equipado con una valvula de
alivio (que salta) para evitar una condici6n de sobrepresi6n
en el tanque. Este tanque de 2 galones no ha sido
disefiado para almacenar aire, sino para proveer de un
volumen adicional de aire comprimido necesario para
operar una amplia variedad de herramientas neumaticas. AI
arrancar el compresor, fijar la herramienta a la manguera,
fijar la vAIvula de regulaci6n de presi6n a la presi6n
requerida, esperar un momento a que el tanque se Ilene de
aire. Usted sabra que el tanque esta Ileno cuando escuche
el aire escapar de la vAIvula de regulaci6n de presi6n.
Dependiendo del tipo y tamafio de la herramienta que se
usa, ocasionalmente tendrA que esperar que el tanque se
vuelva a Ilenar antes de continuar. AI terminar o cambiar de
herramienta, apagar el compresor de aire y fijar la valvula de
regulaci6n de presi6n a 10 PSI y esperar a que el tanque se
descargue por completo.
Agarrar el asa y sacar el compresor de aire de la caja. Quitar la espuma y/o cart6n y descartar.

Ubicacion del Compresor de Aire
Su compresor de aire viene completamente ensamblado y
listo para usar. Operar el compresor de aire en un Area
limpia, seca y bien ventilada. La bombay el casco del
compresor de aire estAn dise_ados para permitir un
enfriamiento apropiado. Limpiar o soplar la tierra y el polvo
que se acumula en el compresor de aire. Un compresor de
aire limpio funciona a mas bajas temperaturas y tiene una
vida 0til mas larga. Las aberturas de ventilaci6n en el
compresor de aire son necesarias para mantener una
temperatura de operaci6n apropiada. No colocar alfombras
u otros contenedores encima o cerca de esta aberturas.
Cordones de Extension
Para evitar la caida de voltaje, perdida de potencia del
motor, usar una manguera mas larga en vez de cord6n de
extensi6n.
Si se hace necesario usar un cord6n de extensi6n:
• Utilizar s61o cordones de extensi6n de 3 alambres,
enchufe con espiga para conexi6n a tierra, y un
tomacorriente que acepte el enchufe del compresor
• que est6 en buenas condiciones
• que no tenga mas de 50 pies de largo
• Calibre 14 (AWG) o mas grueso. (El grosor del cable es
mayor cuanto menor sea su n0mero.) Tambien pueden
usarse cordones de calibre 12 AWG, 10 AWG y 8 AWG.
NO USAR CORDONES DE CALIBRE 16 NI 18 AWG.
INSTRUCCIONES PARA CONECTAR A TIERRA
LA CONEXION INADECUADA A TIERRA PUEDE
RESULTAR EN CHOQUE ELleCTRICO. EN
CASO DE CORTOCIRCUlTO, LA CONEXION A
TIERRA REDUCE EL RIESGO DE CHOQUE
ELleCTRICO FACILITANDO EL ESCAPE DE LA
CORRIENTE. ESTE COMPRESOR DE AIRE
DEBE CONECTARSE A TIERRA
APROPIADAMENTE. LEER LO SIGUlENTE:
1, El compresor de aire estA dise_ado para operar
0nicamente con 120 voltios y esta equipado con un
cord6n provisto de un alambre de conexi6n a tierra con
un enchufe apropiado para conexi6n a tierra. El
enchufe debe conectarse en un tomacorriente que haya
sido instalado y conectado a tierra de acuerdo con
todos los c6digos y ordenanzas locales (ver Figura
siguiente). El tomacorriente debe tener la misma
configuraci6n que el enchufe. NO USAR
ADAPTADORES.
2,
3,
No modificar el enchufe provisto. Si no encaja en el
tomacorriente, un electricista calificado debe instalar
un tomacorriente adecuado.
Inspeccionar el cord6n y el enchufe antes de usarlo.
No usarlo si muestra se_as de estar da_ado.
RIESGO DE CHOQUE ELleCTRICO. SI SE VA A
REPARAR O REEMPLAZAR EL CORDON O
ENCHUFE, EL ALAMBRE PARA TIERRA DEBE
MANTENERSE SEPARADO DE LOS ALAMBRES
CONDUCTORES DE CORRIENTE. NUNCA
CONECTAR EL ALAMBRE PARA TIERRA A UN
ORIFICIO PARA ESPIGA PLANA DEL ENCHUFE.
(EL ALAMBRE PARA CONEXION A TIERRA
TIENE AISLAMIENTO DE COLOR VERDE QUE
PUEDE TENER FRANJAS AMARILLAS.)
Si no se entienden completamente estas instrucciones, o si
se tienen dudas en cuanto a que el compresor est6
