ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: (continued)
DUTY CYCLE:
To ensure long life of your BOSTITCH air compressor, do not operate on more than a 50% duty cycle. If this air compressor pumps air more than 50% of one hour, then the compressor’s capability is less than the air delivery required by the application. Always match the air volume requirements of the attachment or accessory with the air volume delivery of the compressor.
Notice!: BOSTITCH does not recommend the use of extension cords with compressors. The use of an extension cord can result in the loss of voltage supplied to the compressor which could prevent the compressor from starting. For optimum performance, plug the compressor directly into an outlet and increase the length of airline as needed.
If an extension cord must be used, use these guidelines:
Distance Needed | Recommended Gauge |
Less than 25 ft. | 12 Gauge |
25 - 50 ft. | 10 Gauge |
Greater than 50 ft. | Not Recommended |
