RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

HOW TO PREVENT IT

t is normal for electrical contacts within the motor and

I pressure switch to spark.

If electrical sparks from the compressor come in contact with flammable vapors, they may ignite, causing fire or explosion. Restricting any of the compressor ventilation openings will cause serious overheating and could cause fire.

Unattended operation of this compressor could result in personal injury or property damage.

RISK OF BURSTING

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

1. Failure to properly drain condensed water from the tank, causing rust and thinning of the steel tank.

2. Modifications or attempted repairs to the tank.

3. Unauthorized modifications to the unloader valve, safety valve or any other components which control tank pressure.

4. Excessive vibration can weaken the air tank and cause rupture or explosion.

Attachments & Accessories; Exceeding the operating pressure of air tools can cause them to explode.

Always operate the compressor in a well ventilated area free of combustible materials, gasoline or solvent vapors. If

praying flammable materials, locate the compressor at least

s 20 feet away from the spray area. An additional length of hose may be required. Store flammable materials in a secure location away from the compressor. Never place objects against or on top of the compressor. Operate compr from any wall or obstruction that would restrict the flow or fresh air to the ventilation openings. Operate compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area. Do not operate compressor indoors in a confined area. Always remain in attendance with the compressor when it is operating.

HOW TO PREVENT IT

Drain tank daily or after every use. If the tank developes a leak, replace tank or get a new air compressor. Never drill into, weld or make any modifications to the tank or its attachments.

The tank is designed to withstand specific operating pressures. Never make adjustments or parts substitutions to alter the factory set operating pressures.

For essential control of air pressure, you must install a

essor in an open area at least 12 inches away

The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE A LONGER AIR HOSE INSTEAD OF AN EXTENSION CORD. Use the chart below in Fig.2 to determine the recommended minimum wire size (A.W.GAmerican Wire Gauge) extension cord. Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-hole receptacles which accept the tool’s plug.

For circuits that are further away from the electrical circuit box, the wire size must be increased proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage to the motor. Refer to Fig.2 for wire length and size.

PROPERLY GROUNDED OUTLET

If this compressor should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current, to reduce the risk of electric shock. This compressor is equipped with a cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in

dance with all local codes and ordinances.

hen the air compressor is operating, the check valve is “open”, allowing compressed

W air to enter the air tank. When the air compressor reaches “Cut-Out” pressure, the check valve “closes”, allowing air pressure to remain inside the air tank.

Turn this switch ON (press upwards as shown) to provide power to the automatic pressure switch and OFF to remove power at the end of each use.

The pressure switch automatically starts the motor when the tank pressure drops below the factory set “Cut-In” pressure. It also stops the motor when the air tank pressure reaches the factory set “Cut-Out” pressure.

The air pressure coming from the air tank is controlled by the regulator. Turn the regulator knob clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to decrease pressure. To avoid minor readjustment after making a change in the pressure setting, always approach the desired pressure from a lower pressure. When reducing from a higher to a lower setting, first reduce the pressure less than that desired, then bring it up to the desired pressure. Depending on the air requirements of each particular accessory, the outlet regulated air pressure may have to be adjusted while operating the accessory.
