Introduction

This air compressor features a compact structure, stable,

performance, a high airflow rate, easy operation and low

maintenance. because the air compressor produces no oil in the

airflow, it can be used for air supplies that need oil-free air.. The

motor directly drives the pistons and does not need any

lubrication or oil to function for a long period of time.

assembly

1.

Attach the air hose to the 1/4” (universal / Industrial) coupler.

2.

Make sure the drain valve is off and that the power switch is in

the OFF position.

3. 

ensure that the power supply you are going to use is operating      

normally.

4.

Insert the power supply cord into the power supply socket.
