Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
If not properly grounded, this tool can cause an electrical shock, particularly when used in damp
locations, in proximity of plumbing, outdoors.
Do not use a grounding adapter with this product!
All wiring and electrical connections should be performed by a qualified electrician. Installation
must be in accordance with local codes and national electrical codes.
Improper installation of grounding plug is able to result in a risk of electric shock. When repair
or replacement of the cord or plug is required, do not connect the grounding wire to either
flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
grounding wire.
Never connect green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
Overheating, short circuiting and fire damage will result from inadequate wiring, etc.
Thermal Overload Protector
This compressor has an automatic thermal protector that shuts off the motor if it overheats or has too
much current. This protector is a “trip and hold” protector. To reset, unplug the compressor and allow it to
completely cool. This should allow the automatic overload to reset. The protector may not reset unless it is
unplugged.
The motor must be allowed to cool down before start-up is possible. The motor may automatically restart without
warning if left plugged into the electrical outlet, and the motor is turned on.
INSTALLATION
1. Check and tighten all bolts, fittings, etc., before operating compressor.
2. Operate compressor in a ventilated area so that compressor may be properly cooled.
3. Compressor should be located where it can be directly plugged into an outlet. Do not use extension
cords with this unit.
4. To avoid loss of power and overheating, it is better to use additional air hose instead of extension cords
to reach work area.
