Check the tank pressure gauge to see that the tank pressure gets up to approximately
After the compressor has fully pressurized the tanks, turn the red knob on the pressure regula- tor (See Figure 6) to set the pressure needed for the air tool you will be using. Consult the manual which accompanied your air tool to determine what pressure setting is required for optimal oper- ation. The gauge on the regulator will indicate the pressure which will be delivered through the air line.

Always wear safety glasses and use extreme caution when working around compressed air. The force of the air stream can cause small bits of debris to become airborne and cause potential injury to the eyes or other parts of the body. Never let the full force of the air stream come in direct contact with the skin as it can cause abrasions or bruising.
