GLOSSARY

SCFM or CFM: Standard Cubic Feet per Minute; a unit of measurement of air delivery.

PSIG or PSI: Pounds per square inch gauge.

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 indepenent 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 misused, because the air compressor is undersized for the required air demand. Maximum compressor pumping time per hour is 30 minutes.

*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 compressor is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use only time delay fuses. Time delay fuses should be marked “D” in Canada and “T” in the US.
