AIR COMPRESSOR

PREPARATION
•
The vehicle’s 12 V battery
should be fully charged to get
the best performance from your
air compressor. If your vehicle’s
battery is weak, the air
compressor will not work at its
maximum output level.
•
This appliance has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than
the other), which fits in a
polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper
outlet. Do not change the plug in
any way.
•
Operate in a safe work
environment. Keep your work
area clean and well lit. DO NOT
expose the air compressor to
rain or any other kind of bad
weather. DO NOT use in damp
or wet locations and DO NOT
expose this tool to rain. Water
entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric
shock. DO NOT use in the
presence of flammable gases or
liquids.
•
Use only a two
-
wire extension cord
that has a two
-
blade plug and a
two
-
slot receptacle that will accept
the plug on the product. Make
sure your extension cord is in
good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw.
For lengths less than 6' (1.8 m)
18 AWG extension cords should
be used. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
•
In a double
-
insulated product,
two systems of insulation are
provided instead of grounding. No
grounding means is provided on a
double
-
insulated product, nor
should a means for grounding be
added to the product. Servicing of
a double
-
insulated product
requires extreme care and
knowledge of the system and
should be done only by a qualified
electrician. Replacement parts for
a double
-
insulated product must
be identical to those parts in the
product.
