low all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

n Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered

benches and dark areas invite accidents. Floor must
not be slippery from wax or dust.

n Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-

spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq­uids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which

may ignite the dust or fumes.

n Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while

operating tools. Distractions can cause you to lose

control.

n Operate air compressor in an open area at least

18 in. away from any wall or object that could re­strict the flow of fresh air to ventilation openings.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

n Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as

pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an

increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

n Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.

n Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry

the tool or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged

cords increase the risk of electric shock.

n

When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor
extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords

are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric
shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

n Eye protection which conforms to ANSI specifica-

tions and provides protection against flying particles
both from the FRONT and SIDE should ALWAYS be
worn by the operator and others in the work area
when loading, operating, or servicing this tool. Eye

protection is required to guard against flying fasteners
and debris, which could cause severe eye injury.

n The employer and/or user must ensure that proper

eye protection is worn. We recommend a Wide Vision

Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety
glasses that provide protection against flying particles
both from the front and side. Always use eye protection
which is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1.

n Additional safety protection will be required in some

environments. For example, the working area may

include exposure to a noise level which can lead to
hearing damage. The employer and user must ensure
that any necessary hearing protection is provided and
used by the operator and others in the work area.
Some environments will require the use of head protec­tion equipment. When required, the employer and user
must ensure that head protection marked to comply
with ANSI Z89.1 is used.

n Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use com-

mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while

operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.

n Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance

at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better

control of the tool in unexpected situations.

n Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

n Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable

footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.

TOOL USE AND CARE

n Do not exceed the pressure rating of any compo-

nent in the system.

n Protect material lines and air lines from damage or

puncture. Keep hose and power cord away from sharp

objects, chemical spills, oil, solvents, and wet floors.

n Check hoses for weak or worn condition before

each use, making certain all connections are se­cure. Do not use if defect is found. Purchase a new

hose or notify an authorized service center for exami­nation or repair.

n Release all pressures within the system slowly. Dust

and debris may be harmful.

n Store idle tools out of the reach of children and

other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the

hands of untrained users.

n Maintain tools with care. Follow maintenance instruc-

tions. Properly maintained tools are easier to control.

n Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts, and any other condition that
may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are

caused by poorly maintained tools.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

n Never point any tool toward yourself or others.

n Keep the exterior of the air compressor dry, clean,

and free from oil and grease. Always use a clean
cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, or any strong solvents to
clean the unit. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
deterioration of the enclosure plastic.

SERVICE

n Tool service must be performed only by qualified

repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed

by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.

n Disconnect power supply, open drain valve to de-

compress tank and allow water to drain, and allow
air compressor to become cool to the touch before
servicing. Turn pressure regulator knob fully clockwise

after shutting off compressor.

n When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-

ment parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or

failure to follow Maintenance instructions may create a
risk of injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

n Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual

carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well
as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious injury.

n Drain tank of moisture after each day’s use.

If unit will not be used for a while, it is best to leave
drain valve open until such time as it is to be used. This
will allow moisture to completely drain out and help
prevent corrosion on the inside of tank.

n Risk of Fire or Explosion. Do not spray flammable liq-

uid in a confined area. Spray area must be well ventilat­ed. Do not smoke while spraying or spray where spark
or flame is present. Keep compressors as far from the
spraying area as possible, at least 15 feet from the
spraying area and all explosive vapors.

n Risk of Bursting. Do not adjust regulator to result in

output pressure greater than marked maximum pres­sure of attachment. Do not use at pressure greater than
135 PSI.

n If connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use time-

delay fuses with this product.

n To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to

rain. Store indoors.

Service Center. Constantly stay aware of cord loca­tion. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric

shock or fire.

n Never use an electrical adaptor with this grounded

plug.

n Check damaged parts. Before further use of the air

compressor or air tool, a guard or other part that
is damaged should be carefully checked to deter­mine that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may affect
its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by an au­thorized service center. Following this rule will reduce

the risk of shock, fire, or serious injury.

n 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. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is
recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less
in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recom­mended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the
cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line volt-

age resulting in loss of power and overheating.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the
air compressor’s plug. When using the air compressor at
a considerable distance from the power source, use an
extension cord heavy enough to carry the current that the
compressor will draw. An undersized extension cord will
cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power
and causing the motor to overheat. Use the chart pro­vided below to determine the minimum wire size required
in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by
Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) should be used.

**Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit.
NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge

When working with the air compressor outdoors, use an
extension cord that is designed for outside use. This is
indicated by the letters “W-A” on the cord’s jacket.

Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

WARNING:

Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.
Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber,
tools, or other obstructions while you are working with
a power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious per­sonal injury.

WARNING:

SPEED AND WIRING

The no-load speed of this air compressor is approximately
26,000 rpm. This speed is not constant and decreases
under a load or with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring
in a shop is as important as the motor’s horsepower rat­ing. A line intended only for lights cannot properly carry
a power tool motor. Wire that is heavy enough for a short
distance will be too light for a greater distance. A line that
can support one power tool may not be able to support
two or three tools.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current
to reduce the risk of electric shock. This air compressor
is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment­grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding con­ductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conduc­tor with insulation having an outer surface that is green
with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding
conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or
plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-ground­ing conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if
the grounding instructions are not completely understood,
or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

This air compressor is intended for use on a circuit that
has an outlet like the one shown in figure 1. It also has a
grounding pin like the one shown. This product must be
grounded.

Check extension cords before each use. If damaged,
replace immediately. Never use air compressor with a
damaged cord since touching the damaged area could
cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.

NOTE: Use longer air hoses instead of long extension
cords. Your air compressor will run better and last longer.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

This air compressor is powered by a precision built
electric motor. It should be connected to a power sup-

ply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household
current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC).

A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and
the motor will overheat. If the air compressor does not
operate when plugged into an outlet, double check the
power supply.

WARNING:

When servicing, use only identical Husky replacement
parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or
cause product damage.

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

WARNING:

WARNING:

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields during power tool operation or when blowing
dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.

WARNING:

Always release all pressure, disconnect from power
supply, and allow unit to cool to the touch before
cleaning or making repairs on the air compressor.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Humidity in the air causes condensate to form in the air
tank. This condensate should be drained daily and/or
every hour, using the instructions found in Draining the
Tank.

The safety valve automatically releases air if the air re­ceiver pressure exceeds the preset maximum. Check the
safety valve before each use following the instructions
found in Checking the Safety Valve.

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum­based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal
injury. Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wall­board, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject
to accelerated wear and possible premature failure
because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly
abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Con­sequently, we do not recommended using this tool for
extended work on these types of materials. However, if
you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely
important to clean the tool using compressed air.

LUBRICATION

All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a suffi­cient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit
under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further
lubrication of the bearings is required.
