SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SPECIFIC TO COMPRESSOR
1. TANK SAFETY VALVE: This valve prevents damage to the air receiver if a
malfunction in the compressor pump occurs. It is factory pre-set at a limit
specic to your particular model and adjustment. Do not tamper with it. This
will automatically void your warranty.
2. PRESSURE SWITCH: The air pressure switch is factory pre-set for optimum
performance. Do not bypass or remove this switch. Serious damage to
equipment or personal injury could result from too high an air pressure.
3. MOTOR AND COMPRESSOR PUMP: Air compressors get hot during operation. Do not touch the motor, discharge tubing, or compressor while it is run-
ning.
The compressor turns itself on automatically while the power is connected.
4. AIR TANK: Over-pressurizing the air receiver, piping or tank could cause
it to explode or burst. To protect from over-pressurizing, the compressor is
equipped with a factory preset safety valve. Do not remove, make adjustments
to or substitutions for this valve. Perform a test of the valve from time to time:
pull the ring on the valve to make sure that it operates freely. If the valve does
not operate freely, replace it before further use. Never weld to, drill into, or
change the air receiver in any way.
5. TAMPERING: If any of the components above are found to have been changed
or tampered with, the warranty will be made void. When servicing, we recom-
mend using only identical replacement parts and any replacement parts used
must have the same specication as the original equipment.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR NAILER/STAPLER
1. USE CLEAN, DRY, REGULATED, COMPRESSED AIR at 70 to 90 psi / 488 to
621 kPa / 4.88 to 6.2 bar.
2. DO NOT CONNECT TOOL to pressure which potentially exceeds 200 psi / 1379
kPa / 13.8 bar.
3. AIR HOSE Only use hose that is rated for a minimum working pressure of
150 psi or 150% of the maximum system pressure, whichever is greater.
4. NEVER USE OXYGEN, CARBON DIOXIDE, combustible gases or any other
bottled gas as a power source for this tool. Explosion and serious personal
injury could result.
5. COUPLINGS Connect tool to air supply hose with a 3/8" NPT coupling that
ENGLISH
removes all pressure from the tool when the coupling is disconnnected.
6. DISCONNECT TOOL FROM AIR SUPPLY hose before doing any disassembly,
maintenance, clearing a jammmed fastener, leaving the work area, moving the
tool to another location, or handing the tool to another person.
7. NEVER USE A TOOL that is leaking air, has missing or damaged parts, or re-
quires repair. Make sure all screws and caps are securely tightened.
8. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Never use a tool if safety, trigger, or spring
are inoperable, missing or damaged. Do not alter or remove safety, trigger, or
springs. Make daily inspections for the free movement of trigger and safety
mechanism.
9. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts
and fasteners recommended by us.
10. TAKE CARE WHEN YOU CONNECT TOOL TO AIR SUPPLY. The fastener
driving mechanism may cycle when the tool is connected to the air supply.
11. ALWAYS ASSUME THE TOOL CONTAINS FASTENERS. Keep it pointed
away from yourself and others at all times. No horseplay. Respect the tool as
a working implement.
12. DO NOT LOAD FASTENERS with trigger or safety depressed. The tool may
FRANÇAIS
unintentionally re a fastener.
13. DO NOT DEPRESS THE TRIGGER when not driving fasteners. Never carry
tool with nger on trigger mechanism: tool may re an unwanted fastener.
14. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not
reach over or across machines which are running.
15. FIRE FASTENERS INTO WORK SURFACE ONLY: never into materials too
hard to penetrate.
16. GRIP TOOL FIRMLY to maintain control while allowing the tool to recoil away
from the work surface as the fastener is driven. If the safety is allowed to
recontact the work surface before the trigger is released, an unwanted fastener
will be red.
17. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS ON TOP OF OTHER FASTENERS, or with the
tool at too steep an angle: the fasteners can ricochet causing personal injury.
18. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS too close to the edge of the workpiece. The
workpiece is likely to split, allowing the fasteners to y free or ricochet causing
personal injury.
19. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded
surfaces: pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures. Before driving
fasteners into walls, oors, or wherever “live” electrical wires may be encountered, try to ascertain whether there is a danger of shock.

Your new air compressor can be used for operating paint, weed killer, and
insecticide sprayers, air tools, grease & caulking guns, sandblasters, ination, etc.,
although you should compare the air demands of the tool against this compressor’s
2.5 c.f.m. output (at 90 psi). A tool with a higher air demand than this compressor
can produce may either not function, or not function well. It may also cause the
compressor to run without stopping for long periods of time, trying to maintain
pressure in the tank. This can cause the either the motor or compressor pump to
overheat and damage them. Be sure the requirements of your tools can be met by
the compressor.
To compress air, the piston in the pump moves up and down in the cylinder. On
the down stroke, air is drawn in through the inlet valve. Since the discharge valve
remains closed, as the piston goes up, the air in the cylinder is compressed. The
inlet valve closes and compressed air is forced out into the air receiver. A check
valve prevents it from going back into the pump. Working air is not immediately
available. The pump continues to add air until the air receiver pressure builds to
above that required at the regulator.

SETUP & OPERATION
COMPRESSOR
= Locate the compressor in a clean, dry and well-ventilated area, on a rm level
surface.
= It should be located 30 to 45 cm / 12 to 18 inches from a wall or any other
obstruction that would interfere with the air ow. It is equiped with heat
dissipation ns that allow for proper cooling. Keep them and other parts free
of dust or dirt that could interfere with cooling. A clean compressor runs cooler
and provides longer service.
= Do not place anything on top of the compressor.
= Do not use lead-tin solder to join pipes and ttings. It can melt at the tempera-
tures of the compressor’s air discharge and cause the piping to burst.
EXTENSION CORDS
If you plan to use an extension cord when operating your air compressor, please
note:
= Maximum length: not to exceed 15 m / 50 ft.
= Minimum wire size: 14 gauge.
If the extension cord is too long or the wire size is too small, the air compressor will
not start.
COMPRESSOR LUBRICATION
= CHECK THE OIL quantity and quality before operating the compressor. Do not
add or change oil while the compressor is in operation. Use only oil with the
5

FRANÇAIS
ENGLISH
SETUP & OPERATION
correct specications. With the air compressor on level surface, the oil level
should be at the red dot on the oil level sight glass.
= If oil level is low, remove oil ll plug/breather cap, add enough oil to bring level
to the red dot. Do not over-ll.
= Replace oil ll plug before starting compressor.
BEFORE OPERATING COMPRESSOR:
= Check and ensure that oil ll plug/breather cap (27) is installed with o-ring (27a)
into crankcase (28).
= Check that nuts and bolts are all snug.
ENGLISH
= Check the quantity and quality of oil (see compressor lubrication, above).
COMPRESSOR INITIAL BREAK-IN
1. Open Drain cock (57) to permit air to escape, so no air pressure builds up in
the air tank.
2. Plug power supply cord into correct power source.
3. Run the compressor in this no-load condition for 20 to 30 minutes to lubricate
the bearings and pistons.
4. Close the air tank drain cock.
5. Your compressor is now ready for use.
6. After 2 weeks, tighten all nuts and bolts, including head bolts.
AIR SYSTEM
= The brad nailer/stapler is designed to operate on clean, dry, compressed air,
regulated at 60-100 psi / 413 to 690 kPa / 4.13 to 6.9 bar. The preferred system would include a lter, a pressure regulator, and an automatic oiler located
as close to the tool as possible (within 15 feet / 5 meters is ideal). Do not use
bottled air or gases. Please see gure below:
FRANÇAIS
Nailer/Stapler
Quick Connector
Oiler
Filter Air Supply
Air Hose
= All compressed air contains moisture and other contaminants that can harm the
internal components of the tool. An air line lter will remove most of these and
signicantly prolong the life of the tool. Ensure the in-line oiler has sufcient
oil. If an in-line oiler is not available, place 2 drops of oil into the tool’s air inlet
at the beginning of each workday. More than this will be expelled from the
tool’s exhaust during ring.
= Air Fitting: The nailer should be equipped with a 1/4" NPT male plug for a ‘quick
connector’. To prevent accidental cycling even though disconnected, the tool
must always be connected to the air supply in such a way that all air pressure
in it is released when the coupling is disconnected.
CAUTION:
= All air line components (including hoses, pipe, connectors, lters, & regulators,
etc.) must be rated for a minimum working pressure of 150 psi / 1034 kPa /
10.3 bar or 150% of the maximum system pressure, whichever is greater.
= Disconnect the tool from the air supply before performing maintenance, clear-
ing a jammed fastener, leaving the work area, moving the tool to another location, or handing it to another person.
