Air Compressor will automatically shut off when maximum PSI is reached. When the tank pressure drops to the cut
in pressure (low pressure) and the on/off switch
is in the ON position, the unit will automatically restart.
• On occasion, maximum pressure in tank will remain until next use thus resulting in a sense of no power (See bullet above).
• To avoid power loss, overheating and ensure power, use additional air hose rather than extension cords.
• It is the consumer’s responsibility to drain oil lubed units prior to shipment to meet ICC, state and local fire regulations.
Please have your model number and serial number available. These can be found on the data label on your product. Retain a copy of your receipt with purchase
date for reference.

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 power tools 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 tools. 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 power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry
the tool 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 a power tool outside, use an
outdoor 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 loading, operating, or
servicing this tool. 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
hearing 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
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use tool while tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing,
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
TOOL 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 tools out of the reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Follow maintenance
instructions. Properly maintained tools are easier to
control.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that
may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
4
Never point any tool toward yourself or others.
Keep the exterior of the air compressor dry, clean,
and free from oil and grease. Always use a clean
cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, or any strong solvents to
clean the unit. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
deterioration of the enclosure plastic.
SERVICE
Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Disconnect power supply, open drain valve to
decompress tank and allow water to drain, and
allow air compressor to become cool to the touch
before servicing. Turn pressure regulator knob fully
counter clockwise after shutting off compressor.
When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
instructions may create a risk of injury.
5
Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well
as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious injury.
Drain tank 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 tank.
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 15 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 attachment. Do not use at pressure greater
than the rated maximum pressure of this compressor.
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 tank yearly for rust, pin holes, or other
imperfections that could cause it to become unsafe.
Never weld or drill holes in the air tank.
Make sure the hose is free of obstructions or snags.
Entangled or snarled hoses can cause loss of balance
or footing and may become damaged.
Use the air compressor only for its intended use. Do
not alter or modify the unit from the original design
or function.
Always be aware that misuse and improper handling
of this tool can cause injury to yourself and others.
Never leave a tool unattended with the air hose
attached.
Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a
legible warning label.
Do not continue to use a tool or hose that leaks air
or does not function properly.
Always disconnect the air supply and power supply
before making adjustments, servicing a tool, or when a
tool is not in use.
Do not attempt to pull or carry the air compressor
by the hose.
Your tool may require more air consumption than
this air compressor is capable of providing.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Always follow all safety rules recommended by the
manufacturer of your tool, in addition to all safety
rules for the air compressor. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
Never direct a jet of compressed air toward people
or animals. Take care not to blow dust and dirt
towards yourself or others. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious injury.
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
Do not use this air compressor to spray chemicals.
Your lungs can be damaged by inhaling toxic fumes. A
respirator may be necessary in dusty environments or
when spraying paint. Do not carry while painting.
Inspect tool cords and hoses periodically and, if
damaged, have repaired at your nearest Authorized
Service Center. Constantly stay aware of cord
location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock or fire.
Never use an electrical adaptor with this grounded
plug.
Check damaged parts. Before further use of the
air compressor or air tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service center. Following this rule
will reduce the risk of shock, fire or serious injury.
Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be sure
to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at
least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 50
feet or less in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is
not recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
WARNING: This product contains one or more
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently
and use them to instruct others who may use this air
compressor. If you loan someone this tool, load them
these instructions also.

Replace a damage or worn cord immediately.
Replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
SPEED AND WIRING
The no-load speed of the electric motor varies by model and
specification. The motor speed is not constant and decreases
under a load or with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring
in a shop is as important as the motor’s horsepower rating.
A line intended only for lights cannot properly carry a power
tool motor. Wire that is heavy enough for a short distance will
be too light for a greater distance.A line that can support one
power tool may not be able to support two or three tools.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must 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
air compressor is equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that
is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-
grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in
doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit and has
a grounding plug similar to the plug illustrated in Figure 1.
Only connect the product to an outlet having the same con-
figuration as the plug. Do not use an adapter with this product.
WARNING:
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with
side shields when operating power tools. Failure to do
so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes
resulting in possible serious injury.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you careless.
Remember that a careless fraction of a second is
sufficient to inflict serious injury.
CAUTION:
Do not use in an environment that is dusty or otherwise
contaminated. Using the air compressor in this type of
environment may cause damage to the unit.
WARNING:
Always ensure the switch is in the OFF (O) position and the
regulator pressure gauge reads zero before changing air
tools or disconnecting the hose from the air outlet. Failure
to do so could result in possible serious personal injury.
APPLICATIONS
Air compressors are utilized in a variety of air system
applications. Match hoses, connectors, air tools, and
accessories to the capabilities of the air compressor.
You may use this tool for purposes listed below:
Operating some air-powered tools.
Inflating tires, air beds, sports equipment, etc.
USING THE AIR COMPRESSOR
See Figure 7 - 8.
Ensure tank drain valve is closed (see Fig. 7).
Ensure ON/OFF power switch is in the OFF (O) position
and air compressor is unplugged (see Fig. 7).
Ensure Pressure Regulator Knob is turned fully
counterclockwise (see Fig. 7).
If not already installed, attach hose to compressor.
Connect air powered tools to air hose by inserting the
male quick-connect plug to the quick-coupler at the end
of the coil hose (see Fig. 8).
Connect the power cord to the power supply.
Turn the switch ON (I).
Rotate pressure regulator knob to desired line
pressure. Turning the knob clockwise increases
air pressure at the outlet; turning counterclockwise
reduces air pressure at the outlet.
NOTE:
Before connecting or disconnecting air tools turn
the regulator knob counter-clockwise to stop the flow of air.
Following all safety precautions in this manual and the
manufacturer’s instructions in the air tool manual, you
may now proceed to use your air-powered tool.
If using an inflation accessory with a quick-connect
fitting, control the amount of air flow with the pressure
regulator knob. Turning the knob fully counter-clockwise
will completely stop the flow of air.
NOTE: Always use the minimum amount of pressure
necessary for your application. Using a higher pressure
than needed will drain air from the tank more rapidly
and cause the unit to cycle on more frequently.
When finished, always drain the tank and unplug the unit.
Never leave the unit plugged in and/or running
unattended.
WARNING:
Check the air tool manual to insure the correct air pressure
regulator setting for optimum operation of your air tools. If you
are using an air tool not originally included with the air tool kit
suppliedwiththisaircompressor, your tool may require more air
consumption than this air compressor is designed to supply.
Always read your air tool owner’s manual to match the correct
air supply to your air tool to avoid damage to the tool or risk of
personal injury.

DRAINING THE TANK
See Figure 9 - 10.
To help prevent tank corrosion and keep moisture out of
the air used, the tank of the compressor should be drained
daily.
A correct use of the drain valve:
Verify that the compressor is turned off.
Holding the handle, tilt the compressor toward the drain
valve so that it’s set in a lower position.
Open the drain valve completely.
Keep the compressor tilted (figure 10) until all moisture
has been removed.
Drain moisture from tank into a suitable container.
NOTE: Condensate is a pollution material and should
be disposed of in compliance with local regulations.
If drain valve is clogged, release all air pressure by
pulling the safety valve. Remove and clean valve, then
reinstall.
Turn off drain valve until completely closed.
CHECKING THE SAFETY VALVE
See Figure 11.
The safety valve will automatically release air if the air
receiver 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 twenty
seconds.
Release the ring. Air will stop escaping when the ring
is released at approximately 20 psi. Any continued
loss of air after releasing the safety valve ring indicates
a problem with the safety valve. Discontinue use
and seek service before continued use of the air
compressor.
OPERATION
WARNING:
Unplug the air compressor and release all air from
the tank before servicing. Failure to depressurize tank
before attempting to remove valve may cause serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to tamper with 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.

MAINTENANCE
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Humidity in the air causes condensate to form in the air
tank. This condensate should be drained daily and/or
every hour, using the instructions found in Draining the
Tank.
The safety valve automatically releases air if the air
receiver pressure exceeds the preset maximum. Check
the safety valve before each use following the instructions
found in Checking the Safety Valve.
Inspect the tank yearly for rust, pin holes, or other
imperfections that could cause it to become unsafe.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
LUBRICATION
All the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit
under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further
lubrication of the bearings is required.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemical can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal
injury. Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wall-
board, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject
to accelerated wear and possible premature failure
because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly
abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc.
Consequently, we do not recommend using this tool for
extended work on these type of materials. However, if
you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely
important to clean the tool using compressed air.
OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
This air compressor is equipped with a thermal overload
device which will turn the air compressor off automatically,
if the air compressor becomes overheated. If the motor
turns OFF repeatedly, check for the following possible
causes first: Low Voltage from the outlet. Lack of proper
ventilation or outside air or room temperature too high.
