FEATURES OF THIS COMPRESSOR
1. This small, portable compressor is ideal for use in shops with limited storage space.
2. 80-115 PSI operating range is ideal for most shop uses including air tools, spraying,
tire LQÀDWLRQ air cleaning, etc.
3. Pressure switch maintains correct operating pressure at all times.
4. Pressure gauge gives continuous, real-time readout of current pressure delivery.
5. Maximum pressure disconnect safety valve prevents over-pressurization of tank.
6. Delivers enough air for continuous use in most applications.
7. Sturdy construction will deliver years of satisfactory service.
8. Your compressor is fully assembled when you receive it.
Warning: Fill compressor with oil before using; running with NO or LOW
OIL voids warranty. Optimal oil tank capacity is 7.8 ounces.

ELECTRICAL SET UP
Your compressor has a grounded, three-prong plug. If using an extension cord, it must be a
three-prong type. You must connect to a three-prong receptacles only. The third prong is for grounding;
do not remove or disable the third prong, as this will create an unsafe condition.
Common household current is 110-120 Volts. As long as your compressoris rated from 110-120
Volts, there will be no complications in using power from a household receptacle. Never try to plug a
tool designed for 110-120 Volts into a 220-240 Volt receptacle. 220V plugs and outlets are shaped
differently to prevent this.
Only use rounded jacket extension cords, preferably listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories
(UL).
Make sure the cord is rated for outdoor use, even if your application is indoors. Outdoor use
cords have the letters “WA” on the cord jacket.
The extension cord must have a minimum wire size depending on the amperage of the tool
and the length of the extension cord. The size is VLJQL¿HG by its AWG (American Wire Gauge) rating;
the smaller the gauge, the greater the cable’s capacity.
Note: When using extension cords - To avoid circuit breaker and
voltage drop problems when using extension cords, we recommend
using only 12 gauge x 50 foot extension cords .
WARNING: When using pneumatic equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed
to reduce the risk of personal injury and hazards.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS TOOL!
1. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
2. OBSERVE WORK AREA CONDITIONS. Do not use tools in damp, wet, or poorly lit locations.
Don’t expose to rain. Keep work area well lit. Do not use electrically powered air compressors in
the presence of ÀDPPDEOH gases or liquids.
3. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do not let them handle
machines, tools, or hoses.
4. STORE IDLE EQUIPMENT. When not in use, tools must be locked up in a dry location to inhibit
rust. Always lock up tools and keep out of reach of children.
5. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was
intended. Do not use inappropriate attachments in an attempt to exceed the tool’s capacities.
6. USE THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment to do
the work of a larger industrial tool. Do not use a tool for a purpose for which it was not intended.
7. DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in moving parts.
Nonskid footwear is recommended. Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.
8. USE EYE AND EAR PROTECTION.Always wear ANSI-approved chemical splash goggles when
working with chemicals. Always wear ANSI-approved impact safety goggles at other times. Wear
a full face shield if you are producing metal ¿OLQJV or wood chips. Wear an ANSI-approved dust
mask or respirator when working around metal, wood, and chemical dusts and mists.
9. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over or across
running machines.
10. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect hydraulic lines and seals
periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized technician. Inspect all hoses
for leaks prior to use. The handles must be kept clean, dry, and free from oil and grease at all
times.
11. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Make it a habit to check that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the tool or machine work surface before plugging it in.
12. STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate any tool when you are
tired.
13. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check
for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken parts or mounting ¿[WXUHV and any other
condition that may affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired
or replaced by a TXDOL¿HG technician. Do not use the tool if any switch does not turn on and off
properly.
14. REPLACEMENT PARTS AND ACCESSORIES. When servicing, use only identical replacement
parts. Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only use accessories intended for use with
