Cut-In Pressure: The air compressor will automatically

start to refill the tank when the pressure drops
below the prescribed minimum.

Cut-Out Pressure: The point at which the motor stops

when the tank has reached maximum air pressure.

Code Certification: Products that bear one or more of

the following marks: UL, ETL or CSA have
been evaluated by OSHA certified independent

for restrictions in the air line, use a larger diameter hose, or
purchase an air compressor that better matches your air
requirements.

Tank Safety Valve: Used to allow excess tank pressure to
escape into the atmosphere. This valve should only open
when the tank pressure is above the maximum rated
pressure of the model.

Regulator Pressure Gauge: Indicates the outgoing air
pressure to the tool and is controlled by the regulator.

Tank Pressure Gauge: Indicates the reserve air pressure

in the tank.
Regulator: Controls the pressure leaving the air tank.

Tools require different operating pressures. Refer to the tool

manufacturers manual before connecting to the compres-
sor. To increase the pressure turn the knob clockwise and

to decrease the pressure turn the knob counterclockwise.
