7.Check the tank pressure gauge (Figure 9) to see that the tank pressure climbs to approximately 110-120 PSI (around 8 BAR) and turns OFF.

Note: If the compressor does not turn OFF before reaching 120 PSI, flip the AUTO/OFF switch to OFF before the pressure reaches 125 PSI. See Pressure Switch on Page 23 to adjust the automatic shut-off.

The air tool that you attach to the air com- pressor should have a preferred PSI oper- ating level. Set the pressure to be deliv- ered according to the pressure required by the tool.

To control the air supply to your tool:

1.Adjust the air control knob, shown in Figure 10, to set the PSI that will be delivered to your tool. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the pressure or counterclockwise to decrease the pres- sure.
