the instructions provided by the
chemical manufacturer.
It is extremely important to use the
compressor in a clean, well ventilated
area where the surrounding air
temperature will not be more than
100°F.
Do not locate the
compressor air
inlet near steam, paint spray, sandblast
areas or any other source of
contamination. This debris will damage
the motor.
This product is for
use on a nominal
120 volt circuit. Make sure that product
is connected to an outlet having same
configuration as plug.
WIRING
1. Local electrical wiring codes differ
from area to area. Source wiring,
plug and protector must be rated for
at least the amperage and voltage
indicated on motor nameplate, and
meet all electrical codes for this
minimum.
2. Use a slow blow fuse type T or a circuit
breaker.
Overheating, short
circuiting and fire
damage will result from inadequate
wiring, etc.
NOTE: This compressor can be operated
on a 115 volt, 15 amp circuit under the
following conditions:
a. Circuit is not heavily loaded.
b. Voltage supply is normal.
c. Extension cords are of the minimum
gauge specified in this instruction
manual.
d. Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp
circuit breaker or a 15 amp slow
blow fuse type T.

Portable Hand-held Air Compressor
7. Before each use, inspect compressed
air system and electrical components
for signs of damage, deterioration,
weakness or leakage. Repair or
replace defective items before using.
8. Check all fasteners at frequent
intervals for proper tightness.
Motors, electrical
equipment and controls
can cause electrical arcs
that will ignite a flammable gas or
vapor. Never operate or repair in or
near a flammable gas or vapor. Never
store flammable liquids or gases in the
vicinity of the compressor.
Compressor parts may be
hot even if the unit is
stopped.
9. Keep fingers away from a running
compressor; fast moving and hot
parts will cause injury and/or burns.
10. If the equipment should start to
abnormally vibrate, switch unit OFF
and check immediately for the
cause. Vibration is generally a
warning of trouble.
11. To reduce fire hazard, keep motor
exterior free of oil, solvent, or
excessive grease.
12. Fast moving air will stir up dust and
debris which may be harmful.
Release air slowly when draining
moisture or depressurizing the
compressor system.
Any misuse of unit could
cause property or equipment
damage and/or personal
injury.
Do not leave the
compressor
unattended while the unit is running.
Never exceed the
recommended pressure
for any inflatable object.
Do not over inflate
objects. Over inflation could cause
property damage and/or personal
injury.
Always put the car
in park; set the
emergency brake; and chock the wheels
before using the compressor or
property damage and/or personal
injury could occur.
Always use a sep-
arate pressure
gauge to check the actual pressure in
tires and in low pressure inflatable
objects.
Do not use
compressor on
high pressure tires used on large
trucks, trailers or tractors. The
compressor is not designed to operate
for the length of time necessary to
inflate these tires.
SPRAYING PRECAUTIONS
Do not spray flammable
materials in vicinity of
open flame or near
ignition sources including the
compressor unit.
13. Do not smoke when spraying paint,
insecticides, or other flammable
substances.
14. Use a face mask/
respirator when
spraying and spray in
a well ventilated area
to prevent health and
fire hazards.
15. Do not direct paint or other sprayed
material at the compressor. Locate
compressor as far away from the
spraying area as possible to
minimize overspray accumulation
on the compressor.
16. When spraying or cleaning with
solvents or toxic chemicals, follow
