DEWALT Air Compressor Features

PRESSURE SWITCH

This switch (A) is used to start or stop the air compressor. Moving the switch to the ON position will provide automatic power to the pressure switch which will allow the motor to start when the air tank pressure is below the factory set cut-in pressure. When in the ON (AUTO) position, the pressure switch stops the compressor from charging air when the air tank pressure reaches the factory set cut-

out pressure limit. For ease of starting, this

switch also has a pressure release valve

 

 

located on the side of the switch designed to

 

 

automatically release compressed air from the

 

 

air compressor pump head and its discharge

 

 

line when the air compressor reaches the cut-

 

 

out pressure limit or is shut off. Moving the

 

 

switch to the OFF position will open the

 

 

pressure switch contacts and stop the air

 

 

compressor.
