SCFM or CFM: Standard Cubic Feet per Minute; a
unit of measurement of air delivery.
PSIG or PSI: Pounds per square inch gauge.
U.L. Listed: Products that are listed by Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc. (UL) have been evaluated by UL and
meet applicable UL Standards of Safety.
Congratulations! You have purchased a one cylinder,
compact, permanently lubricated compressor. The
absence of a tank and the ultra light weight gives you
added mobility as well as ease in storage, while it
allows you to utilize many air tools, including inflators,
blow guns, spray guns, air brushes, caulking guns and
etchers. Permanently lubricated (oilless) design
means you never have to add oil which also guaran-
tees that you will spray entirely oilfree air.
The compressor outfit you have chosen is unique in
that it combines the portability of a compact with
many of the capabilities of a much larger tank outfit.
With your new compressor outfit you can operate
many of the power tools that until now required a
much larger and more costly compressor outfit,
without sacrificing portability or operating features
normally found only on compact compressors. The
pump is a state-of-the-art, lightweight, permanently
lubricated design powered by a motor. The perma-
nent lube design means you never have to add oil
which also guarantees that you will spray entirely
oilfree air.
A 1/4" x 15' air hose with integral pressure adjusting
valve is supplied with your compressor, as well as an
air chuck. Accessories for use with your new com-
pressor are available through the current Sears Power
and Hand Tools Catalog or at full line Sears stores.
Your compressor will operate many accessories.
Check the pressure and flow rating recommended by
the accessory manufacturer. Make sure it is compat-
ible with the air delivery of your compressor.

Accumulator Tank (not included on some models):
Your accumulator tank is equipped with a relief (pop-
off) valve to prevent an over pressure condition inthe
tank. This 2 gallon tank is not designed to store air,
but rather to provide the additional volume of com-
pressed air necessary to operate a wide variety of air
tools. When starting your compressor, attach the tool
to the hose, set the pressure adjusting valve at the
required pressure, wait a few moments until the tank
fills with air. You will know the tank is filled when you
hear air bleeding through the pressure adjusting valve.
Depending on the type and size of tool being used,
you will occasionally need to wait for the tank to refill
before continuing. When you are finished or changing
tools, turn the compressor switch off and set the
pressure adjusting valve to 10 PSI and wait for the
tank to discharge completely.
Grasp the handle and lift the air compressor out of the carton. Remove the styrofoam and/or cardboard and
discard.

Location of the Air Compressor
Your compressor comes to you completely as-
sembled and ready for use. Operate the air compres-
sor in a dry, clean, cool and well ventilated area. The
air compressor pump and case are designed to allow
for proper cooling. Clean or blow off dust or dirt that
collects on the air compressor. A clean air compres-
sor runs cooler and provides longer service. The
ventilation openings on your air compressor are
necessary to maintain proper operating temperature.
Do not place rags or other containers on or near
these openings.
Extension Cords
Use extra air hose instead of an extension cord to
avoid voltage drop and power loss to the motor.
If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:
• a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will
accept the plug on the compressor
• in good condition
• no longer than 50 feet
• 14 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as
gauge number decreases.) 12 AWG, 10 AWG
and 8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT USE 16
OR 18 AWG.
it does not fit the available outlet, the correct
outlet should be installed by a qualified electri-
cian.
.
Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do
not use if there are signs of damage.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. IF REPAIR-
ING OR REPLACING CORD OR PLUG, THE
GROUNDING WIRE MUST BE KEPT SEPA-
RATE FROM THE CURRENT-CARRYING
WIRES. NEVER CONNECT THE GROUND-
ING WIRE TO A FLAT BLADE PLUG TERMI-
NAL. (THE GROUNDING WIRE HAS INSU-
LATION WITH AN OUTER SURFACE THAT
IS GREEN - WITH OR WITHOUT YELLOW
STRIPES.)
If these grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the compres-
sor is properly grounded, have the installation
checked by a qualified electrician.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN
ELECTRICAL SHOCK. IN THE EVENT OF A
SHORT CIRCUIT, GROUNDING REDUCES
THE RISK OF SHOCK BY PROVIDING AN
ESCAPE WIRE FOR THE ELECTRIC CUR-
RENT. THIS AIR COMPRESSOR MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED. READ THE
FOLLOWING:
1. The air compressor is designed for 120 volt
operation only and is equipped with a cord having
a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding
plug. The plug must be used with an outlet that
has been installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances (see Figure
below). The outlet must have the same configu-
ration as the plug. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER.
2. Do not modify the plug that has been provided. If

Air Hose
The air hose attached to your compressor has an
integral pressure adjusting valve at the working end of
the hose. Should service or replacement be required,
make sure that the pressure adjusting valve is present
in the air hose line.
Do NOT replace the hose with standard
hose that is not equipped with the pressure
adjusting valve. The appropriate hose
assembly for your compressor is available
at Sears.
1. Before plugging in the air compressor, set the
adjustable pressure valve to "10" PSI. Make sure
the "ON/OFF" switch is in the "OFF" position.
2. Connect the air tool or accessory to the air hose.
Tighten securely.
3. Plug the power cord into the grounded outlet.
4. Start the compressor by setting the "ON/OFF"
switch to the "ON" position.
Do not allow hose to become kinked or
pinched at any time. This is important to
avoid damage to your compressor and to
maintain pressure adjusting valve control.
.
Check the manufacturer's maximum pressure
rating for the air tool, accessory or vehicle tire
being used. The air compressor outlet pressure
must never exceed the maximum pressure rating.
.
Slowly increase the pressure setting of the adjust-
able pressure valve. You should be able to hear
and feel air pressure being relieved by the adjust-
able pressure valve. If pressure is not being
relieved, turn the air compressor off immediately.
The pressure valve must be replaced.
TOO MUCH AIR PRESSURE COULD
CAUSE AN AIR TOOL OR VEHICLE TIRE TO
RUPTURE OR EXPLODE. CAREFULLY
FOLLOW STEPS 5 AND 6 EACH TIME YOU
USE YOUR COMPRESSOR.
When you have finished using the air compressor:
.
Set the "ON/OFF" switch to "OFF" and unplug the
cord.
.
Relieve all pressure from the air compressor head
and air hose by turning the adjustable pressure
valve to 10 P.S.I.
Compressed air from the outfit may contain
water condensation. Do not spray unfil-
tered air at an item that could be damaged.
Some air operated tools or devices may
require filtered air. Read the instructions
for the air tool or device.
3. Protect the electrical cord and air hose from
damage by winding them loosely around the air
com pressor.
4. Store the air compressor in a clean and dry
location.
9 - ENG D20449 Rev. 0 2/15/00
Your new compressor can operate many air operated tools and accessories. Below are some examples of
equipment available and a brief description of what can be done with your compact compressor and this
equipment:
INFLATION EQUIPMENT: Using an air chuck, you
can inflate tires by setting the adjustable pressure
valve at the pressure marked on the tire. By using an
adapter available in an inflator kit, you can inflate air
mattresses, rafts, toys, bicycle tires, pools, balls and
much more.
SPRAY GUNS: There are several types of spray guns
available for use with your compact compressor. You
can paint toys, lawn furniture, fences and do a variety
of other small painting jobs. Where you might have
used a spray can of paint before, a spray gun will give
you more control, less mess, less waste and a better
finish.
BLOW GUN: Another handy item is the blow gun. It
can be used to blow dust and dirt from many types of
equipment. For example, your air conditioner, vents
on your car, refrigerator, your furnace and filters, work
benches, table saws and clogged fuel lines. (All
electrical equipment must be unplugged before
cleaning.)
AIR BRUSHES: There are also several air brushes
available for use with your compressor. With these
you can pinstripe, outline, do stenciling, detailing on t-
shirts, decoys, ceramics, print banners and signs and
many other types of detailed painting. Artists and
hobbyists can find many uses for air brushes.
CAULKING GUN: This is a handy tool for many
common household jobs. The caulking gun is
excellent for caulking and glazing around windows,
bathtubs, window casements and wall tile. It is also a
handy tool for applying adhesives, such as for dry wall
application.
POWER WASHER: The power washer works well for
your many outside cleaning jobs. It will reach high
places and help clean your home and siding as well as
clean your driveway and car. It can degrease car
engines and tools. By adding foliage spray, you can
spray your bushes and plants for insects.
ETCHER/CLEANER: Used with your compact
compressor you can decoratively etch wood or glass
with the etcher/cleaner. It can also be used to remove

&QUle PUEDE OCURRIR?
1,
DRENAJE INADECUADO DEL AGUA CONDENSADA EN EL TANQUE,
SIENDO LA CAUSA DEL OXIDO QUE REDUCE EL ESPESOR DEL
TANQUE DE ACERO.
2.
MODIFICAClONES O INTENTO DE REPARACIONES AL TANQUE.
3.

LA VIBRAClON EXCESlVA PUEDE DEBILITAR EL TANQUE DE AIRE
Y CAUSAR SU RUPTURA O EXPLOSION. DICHA VIBRACION
EXCESlVA OCURRIRA Sl EL COMPRESOR NO ESTA
ADECUADAMENTE MONTADO.
AGREGADOS YACCESORIOS
EL EXCESO A LOS VALORES DE PRESlON ESTABLEClDOS PARA LA
HERRAMIENTAS NEUMATICAS, PISTOLAS ROCIADORAS, ACCESORIOS
ACTIVADOS POR AIRE, CUBIERTAS Y OTROS OBJETOS INFLABLES, PUEDE
CAUSAR SU EXPLOSION O SER ARROJADOS, PUDIENDO OCASIONAR
