IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d)

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPROPER OPERATION OR MAINTENANCE OF THIS PRODUCT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY
AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS AND OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS EQUIPMENT.

HAZARD

RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

IT IS NORMAL FOR ELECTRICAL CONTACTS
WITHIN THE MOTOR AND PRESSURE SWITCH TO
SPARK.

IF ELECTRICAL SPARKS FROM COMPRESSOR
COME INTO 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 PRODUCT
COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE.

ALWAYS OPERATE THE COMPRESSOR IN A WELL
VENTILATED AREA FREE OF COMBUSTIBLE

MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR SOLVENT VAPORS.

IF SPRAYING FLAMMABLE MATERIALS, LOCATE
COMPRESSOR AT LEAST 20 FEET AWAY FROM
SPRAY AREA. AN ADDITIONAL LENGTH OF HOSE

MAY BE REQUIRED.
STORE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS IN A SECURE

LOCATION AWAY FROM COMPRESSOR.

NEVER PLACE OBJECTS AGAINST OR ON TOP
OF COMPRESSOR. OPERATE COMPRESSOR IN

AN OPEN AREA AT LEAST 12 INCHES AWAY FROM
ANY WALL OR OBSTRUCTION THAT WOULD
RESTRICT THE FLOW OF FRESH AIR TO THE
VENTILATION OPENINGS.

OPERATE COMPRESSOR IN A CLEAN, DRY, WELL
VENTILATED AREA. DO NOT OPERATE UNIT

INDOORS OR IN ANY CONFINED AREA.

ALWAYS REMAIN IN ATTENDANCE WITH THE
PRODUCT WHEN IT IS OPERATING.

HOW TO PREVENT IT

RISK OF BURSTING

AIR TANK: THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS COULD LEAD TO A WEAKENING OF THE TANK, AND RESULT
IN A VIOLENT TANK EXPLOSION AND COULD CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE OR SERIOUS INJURY.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

1. FAILURE TO PROPERLY DRAIN CON-

DENSED 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 PRESSURE RATING OF AIR

TOOLS, SPRAY GUNS, AIR OPERATED

ACCESSORIES, TIRES AND OTHER INFLATABLES
CAN CAUSE THEM TO EXPLODE OR FLY APART,
AND COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.

DRAIN TANK DAILY OR AFTER EACH USE. IF TAN K
DEVELOPS A LEAK, REPLACE IT IMMEDIATELY
WITH A NEW TANK OR REPLACE THE ENTIRE
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 PRESSURE REGULATOR
AND PRESSURE GAUGE TO THE AIR OUTLET OF
YOUR COMPRESSOR. FOLLOW THE EQUIPMENT
MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDATION AND
NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE
PRESSURE RATING OF ATTACHMENTS. NEVER

USE COMPRESSOR TO INFLATE SMALL LOW­PRESSURE OBJECTS SUCH AS CHILDREN’S
TOYS, FOOTBALLS, BASKETBALLS. ETC.

HOW TO PREVENT IT

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d)

RISK FROM FLYING OBJECTS

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

THE COMPRESSED AIR STREAM CAN CAUSE
SOFT TISSUE DAMAGE TO EXPOSED SKIN AND
CAN PROPEL DIRT, CHIPS, LOOSE PARTICLES

AND SMALL OBJECTS AT HIGH SPEED,
RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL
INJURY.

RISK TO BREATHING

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

THE COMPRESSED AIR DIRECTLY FROM YOUR
COMPRESSOR IS NOT SAFE FOR BREATHING.
THE AIR STREAM MAY CONTAIN CARBON

MONOXIDE, TOXIC VAPORS, OR SOLID
PARTICLES FROM THE TANK. BREATHING THESE
CONTAMINANTS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY
OR DEATH.

SPRAYED MATERIALS SUCH AS PAINT, PAINT

SOLVENTS, PAINT REMOVER, INSECTICIDES,
WEED KILLERS, CONTAIN HARMFUL VAPORS AND
POISONS.

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK

HOW TO PREVENT IT

ALWAYS WEAR ANSI Z87.1 APPROVED SAFETY
GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS WHEN USING THE
COMPRESSOR.

ANY PART OF THE BODY OR AT OTHER PEOPLE
OR ANIMALS.

ALWAYS TURN THE COMPRESSOR OFF AND
BLEED PRESSURE FROM THE AIR HOSE AND
TANK BEFORE ATTEMPTING MAINTENANCE,

ATTACHING TOOLS OR ACCESSORIES.

HOW TO PREVENT IT

AIR OBTAINED DIRECTLY FROM THE
COMPRESSOR SHOULD NEVER BE USED TO
SUPPLY AIR FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. IN

ORDER TO USE AIR PRODUCED BY THIS
COMPRESSOR FOR BREATHING, SUITABLE

FILTERS AND IN-LINE SAFETY EQUIPMENT MUST
BE PROPERLY INSTALLED. IN-LINE FILTERS AND
SAFETY EQUIPMENT USED IN CONJUNCTION
WITH THE COMPRESSOR MUST BE CAPABLE OF
TREATING AIR TO ALL APPLICABLE LOCAL AND
FEDERAL CODES PRIOR TO HUMAN
CONSUMPTION.

WORK IN AN AREA WITH GOOD CROSS­VENTILATION. READ AND FOLLOW THE SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED ON THE LABEL OR
SAFETY DATA SHEETS FOR THE MATERIAL YOU
ARE SPRAYING. USE A NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED
RESPIRATOR DESIGNED FOR USE WITH YOUR

SPECIFIC APPLICATION.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

YOUR AIR COMPRESSOR IS POWERED BY
ELECTRICITY. LIKE ANY OTHER ELECTRICALLY
POWERED DEVICE, IF IT IS NOT USED PROPERLY
IT MAY CAUSE ELECTRIC SHOCK.

REPAIRS ATTEMPTED BY UNQUALIFIED
PERSONNEL CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH BY ELECTROCUTION.

ELECTRICAL GROUNDING: FAILURE TO PROVIDE

ADEQUATE GROUNDING TO THIS PRODUCT
COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH
FROM ELECTROCUTION. SEE GROUNDING

INSTRUCTIONS.

HOW TO PREVENT IT

NEVER OPERATE THE COMPRESSOR OUTDOORS
WHEN IT IS RAINING OR IN WET CONDITIONS.

NEVER OPERATE COMPRESSOR WITH COVER

COMPONENTS REMOVED OR DAMAGED.

ANY ELECTRICAL WIRING OR REPAIRS
REQUIRED ON THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE

PERFORMED BY AUTHORIZED SERVICE
CENTER PERSONNEL IN ACCORDANCE WITH

GLOSSARY

CFM: Cubic feet per minute.
SCFM: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air delivery.
PSIG: Pounds per square inch gauge; a unit of measure of pressure.
ASME: American Society of Mechanical Engineers; made, tested, inspected and

registered to meet the standards of ASME.
California Code: Unit may comply with California Code 462 (l) (2)/(M) (2).
Specification/model label is on the side of the tank on units that comply with
California Code.
Cut-In Pressure: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops as you continue to
use your accessory or air tool. When the tank pressure drops to a certain low level
the motor will restart automatically. The low pressure at which the motor
automatically restarts is called “cut-in pressure.”
Cut-Out Pressure: When you turn on your air compressor and it begins to run, air
pressure in the air tank begins to build. It builds to a certain high pressure before
the motor automatically shuts off - protecting your air tank from pressure higher
than its capacity. The high pressure at which the motor shuts off is called “cut-out
pressure.”
Code Certification: Products that bear one or more of the following marks: UL,
CUL, ETL, CETL, have been evaluated by OSHA certified independent safety
laboratories and meet the applicable Underwriters Laboratories Standards for
Safety.

DUTY CYCLE

Porter-Cable air compressors should be operated on not more than a 50% duty
cycle. This means an air compressor that pumps air more than 50% of one hour is
considered misuse, because the air compressor is undersized for the required air
demand. Maximum compressor pumping time per hour is 30 minutes.

1. Voltage supply to circuit is normal.

2. Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs (lights, appliances, etc.)

3. Extension cords comply with specifications in owners manual.

4. Circuit is equipped with 15 amp circuit breaker or 15 amp time delay fuse.
If any of the above conditions cannot be met, or if operation of the air compressor

repeatedly causes interruption of the power it may be necessary to operate it from
a 20 amp circuit. It is not necessary to change the cord set.

** A circuit breaker is preferred. Use only a fuse or circuit breaker that is the same
rating as the branch circuit on which the air compressor is operated. If the air
compressor is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use dual element time
delay fuses.

This air compressor can be operated on a 15 amp circuit if:
