The outlet pressure gauge indicates the air pressure available at the outlet side of the pressure regulator. This pressure is controlled by the pressure regulator and is always less or equal to the air tank pressure.
The air tank pressure gauge indicates the reserve air pressure in the air tanks.
When adjusting the pressure, check and make sure that a pressure gauge for the tank has the pressure level that is higher than that of the pressure to be adjusted.
It is also imperative that you make adjustment by slowly starting up the pressure from the level that is lower than the pressure to be adjusted.
WARNING: Check the manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating for nailers, staplers and accessories. Compressor outlet pressure must be regulated so as to never exceed the maximum pressure rating of the nailers, staplers and accessories.
4.Shutdown
(1)To stop the air compressor, move the Motor/ Pressure switch to the “OFF” position. Never stop the air compressor by unplugging it from the power source. This could result in risk of electrocution.
(2)To drain the air tank open the drain valve slowly and tilt compressor to empty accumulated water.
WARNING: When the air tank gets corroded, there is a risk of breakdown. Accordingly, be sure to discharge the drain inside the air tank after each use.
The drain contains moisture in the air, abrasion particles, rust, etc. To discharge the drain, therefore, gradually open the drain valve, and be careful not to point it at your face or eye.
(3)Allow the air compressor to cool down.
(4)Wipe the air compressor clean and store in a safe,
5.About the thermal protector
The thermal protector operates to stop the motor when a problem such as a motor overload, etc., occurs. If the motor should stop during operation, proceed as follows.
(1)Make sure the Motor/Pressure switch is in the
“OFF” position and disconnect the plug from the receptacle. (Fig. 3)
(2)If the extension cord does not conform to the specifications given on page 9 and 10 replace with an extension cord such as that shown on page 9 and 10. If the capacity of the power supply is insufficient, increase the power supply capacity to remove the cause of a flow of excessive current
(3)Wait approximately 5 minutes, then press the reset switch of the thermal protector (Fig. 8).
(4)Start up. If the motor still stops during operation, please contact the service center.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Never assume the air compressor is safe to work on just because it is not operating. It could restart at any time!
