Connecting Tools

When choosing air tools, consider the amount of air used (cubic feet per min- ute or CFM) by the tool. Nailers and staple guns have a low CFM requirement because they use air in short bursts. A paint sprayer or a pneumatic grinder uses a more continuous stream of air requir- ing a high CFM. Make sure the air tool you plan to connect does not exceed the CFM output of your compressor. Most air tools will have an air requirement stated in terms of a specific CFM at a specific pressure.

Air tools being operated with insufficient air volume will not perform their function satisfactorily and they will cause the air compressor to run continually. When an air compressor runs continually it may overheat, causing damage to the com- pressor and the possibility of a fire. This compressor is fitted with thermal protec- tion inside the motor. If the compressor overheats, the motor will automatically turn OFF until it cools down.

To connect air tools to your air com- pressor:

1.Follow the compressor Starting instruc- tions on Page 11.

2.Connect the tool to a good quality air hose that is long enough to reach from the point of use to the compressor.

Note: Be aware of the placement of the hose to prevent damage. Make certain the air hose is not located where it can become constricted, cut by a sharp object, or run over. Running over a hose with a vehicle may not cause an immediate leak, but it will shorten the life of the hose.

3.Connect an air line with a 1⁄4" NPT plug to the quick-connect coupler on the air compressor shown in Figure 8.

Note: There are many styles of 1⁄4" NPT quick connect couplers. If the quick connect coupler included with the com- pressor does not fit the plug on your air hose, purchase a matched set at your local hardware store.

These air compressors are specifi- cally designed for air tool operation. DO NOT modify or use this machine for any other purpose. Modifications or improper use of this tool will void the warranty. If you are confused about any aspect of this machine, DO NOT use it until your questions have been answered. Serious per- sonal injury may occur.
