Electrical Data (Cont.)
3.To avoid loss of power and overheating, it is better to use additional air hose instead of extension cords to reach work area.
4.Table below shows correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use next heavier gauge.
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
MOISTURE IN COMPRESSED AIR
Moisture in compressed air will form into droplets as it comes from an air compressor pump. When humidity is high or when a compressor is in continuous use for an extended period of time, this moisture will collect in the fittings and hose. When using a paint spray or sandblast gun, this water will be carried from the tank through the hose, and out of the gun as droplets mixed with the spray material.
IMPORTANT: This condensation will cause water spots in a paint job, especially when spraying other than water based paints. If sandblasting, it will cause the sand to cake and clog the gun, rendering it ineffective. A filter in the air line (MP3105), located as near to the gun as possible, will help eliminate this moisture.
5.This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a polarized plug. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.

1.This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. Plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper use of
! DANGER grounding plug can result in a possible risk of electrical shock!
NOTE: Do not use grounding adapter.
2.If repair or replacement of cord or plug is necessary, do not connect grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outlet surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire.

3.Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether product is properly grounded. Do not modify plug provided; if it will not fit outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Never connect
! WARNING green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
Operation
BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
Do not attach air
! CAUTION chuck or other tool to open end of hose until
IMPORTANT: Do not operate compressor before reading instructions or damage may result.
1.With power switch OFF (O), turn regulator knob fully counterclockwise to minimum operating pressure.
2.While unit is still OFF (O), plug in power cord.
3.Turn switch to ON (I) position and run unit for 5 minutes to break in the pump parts.
NOTICE | This unit is a | |

running compressor. Normal operation causes the regulator to vent air.
4.Attach chuck or other tool to open end of hose. The compressor is now ready to use.
The switch should
! CAUTION be in the OFF (O) position when connecting or disconnecting the power cord from the electrical outlet.
REGULATOR
1.This regulator controls air pressure to the hose and attachment.
2.Turning knob clockwise increases air pressure at outlet.
3.Turning counterclockwise will lower air pressure at outlet.
Wall Mounting
This compressor is designed with an option to be hung on a wall or pegboard for convenient storage. It can also be operated while in the hanging position if one of the following conditions is met:
1.If mounted on a wall, mounting hardware is secured into wood or masonry with suitable fasteners.
2.If mounted on drywall or gypsum board, toggle bolts or mounting anchors are strong enough and are properly secure to resist vibration from the compressor.
3.If mounted on a pegboard, other items hung from the pegboard are secure enough to resist vibration from the compressor.
