ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: (continued)

Duty Cycle:

To avoid overheating of the electric motor, this compressor is designed for the intermittent 

operation as indicated on the dataplate: S3-75 means 7.5 minutes ON and 2.5 minutes OFF. If this 

air compressor pumps air more than the duty cycle, then the compressor’s capability is less than 

the air delivery required by the application. Always match the air volume requirements of the 

attachment or accessory with the air volume delivery of the compressor.

NOTICE!:

 BOSTITCH does not recommend the use of extension cords with compressors. The use 

of an extension cord can result in the loss of voltage supplied to the compressor which could 

prevent the compressor from starting.  For optimum performance, plug the compressor directly 

into an outlet and increase the length of airline as needed.  

If an extension cord must be used, use these guidelines:

Distance Needed 

Recommended Gauge

Less than 10 meters 

1 mm² @ 10 A 

10-15 meters 

1.5 mm² @ 15 A

Greater than 15 meters  Not Recommended

NOTICE!:

 If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service

agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
