OPERATION
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.
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.
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.
APPLICATIONS
Air compressors are utilized in a variety of air system ap-
plications. Match hoses, connectors, air tools, and acces-
sories to the capabilities of the air compressor.
You may use this tool for the purposes listed below:
n
Operating some air-powered tools
n
Removing dust
USING THE AIR COMPRESSOR
See Figures 5 - 9.
n
Ensure power switch is in the
OFF ( O )
position and air
compressor is unplugged.
n
If not already installed, attach hose to compressor as
previously instructed. The hose should be inserted
into the top quick connect coupler if your application
requires an air pressure of 90 psi, or into the bottom
quick connect coupler if a pressure of 40 psi is desired.
n
Insert the blower attachment or connector for the tool
you wish to use into the female connector on the other
end of the spiral hose.
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 seri-
ous personal injury.
n
Connect the power cord to the power supply.
n
Turn the switch
ON ( l )

may now proceed to use your air-powered tool or the
blower attachment.
WARNING:
Your tool may require more air consumption than this
air compressor is capable of providing. Check the tool
manual to avoid damage to the tool or risk of personal
injury.
n
When using the blower attachment, the amount of air
pressure can be further controlled by the amount the
lever of the attachment is depressed.
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.
n
When finished, always drain the tank and unplug the
unit. Never leave the unit plugged in and/or running
unattended.
