GLOSSARY

CFM:

Cubic feet per minute.

SCFM:

Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air delivery.

PSI:

Pounds per square inch; a unit of measure of pressure.

KPA (KILOPASCAL):

Metric pressure measurement. 1 kilopascal equal 1000 pascals.

CODE CERTIFICATION:

Products that bear one or more of the following marks: UL®, CUL, CULUS,

ETL®, CETL, CETLUS, have been evaluated by

OSHA

certified independent safety laboratories

and meet the applicable Standards for Safety.

*UL® is a registered trademark of Underwriters Laboratories and ETL® is a registered

trademark of Electrical Testing Laboratories.

CUT-IN PRESSURE:

While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops when accessory is used.

When the tank pressure drops to a certain low level the motor will restart automatically. The

low pressure at which the motor automatically restarts is called

cut-in

pressure.

CUT-OUT PRESSURE:

When an air compressor is turned on and begins to run, air pressure in

the air tank begins to build. It builds to a certain high pressure before the motor automatically

shuts off, protecting your air tank from pressure higher than its capacity. The high pressure at

which the motor shuts off is called

cut-out

pressure.

Branch Circuit:

The circuit carrying electricity from electrical panel to outlet.

Duty Cycle:

This air compressor pump is capable of running continuously. However, to prolong

the life of your air compressor, it is recommended that a 50%-75% average duty cycle be

maintained; that is, the air compressor pump should not run more than 30-45 minutes in any

given hour.
