OPERATION
USING THE AIR COMPRESSOR
See Figures 10 - 11.
nEnsure power switch is in the OFF (O) position and air compressor is unplugged.
nIf not already installed, attach hose to compressor as previously instructed.
nAttach 1/4 in. NPT male connector fitting to accessory or tool you intend to use.
nInsert the other end of the male connector to the quick coupler on the open end of hose.
WARNING:
Always ensure the switch is in the OFF (O) position and the regulator pressure gauge reads zero before changing air tools or disconnecting the hose from the air outlet. Failure to do so could result in possible serious personal injury.
nConnect the power cord to the power supply.
nTurn the switch ON ( l ).
nRotate pressure regulator knob to desired line pressure. Turning the knob clockwise increases air pressure at the outlet; turning counterclockwise reduces air pressure at the outlet.
nFollowing all safety precautions in this manual and the manufacturer’s instructions in the air tool manual, you may now proceed to use your
WARNING:
Your tool may require more air consumption than this air compressor is capable of providing. Check the tool manual to avoid damage to the tool or risk of personal injury.
nControl the amount of air flow with the pressure regula- tor knob. Turning the knob fully counterclockwise will completely stop the flow of air.
NOTE: Always use the minimum amount of pressure necessary for your application. Using a higher pressure than needed will drain air from the tank more rapidly and cause the unit to cycle on more frequently.
nWhen finished, always drain the tank and unplug the unit. Never leave the unit plugged in and/or running unat- tended.
