APPLICATIONS

Air source of the pneumatic nailer and stapler.

WARNING: Never use compressor for applications other than compressor for pneumatic nailer and

stapler.

PRIOR TO OPERATION

1.Power source

Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms to the power source requirements specified on the product nameplate.

3.Extension cord

When the work area is far away from the power source, use an extension cord of sufficient thickness and rated capacity (refer page 6). The extension cord should be kept as short as practicable.

WARNING: Damaged cord must be replaced or repaired.

4.Confirm the power receptacle

If the power receptacle only loosely accepts the plug, the receptacle must be repaired. Contact the nearest electric store for repair service.

If such a faulty receptacle is used, may cause overheating, resulting in a serious hazard.

5.Dipstick insertion and oil level check

Use a screwdriver or similar tool to remove the plastic cap on the lower part of the cylinder (Fig.3).

WARNING: Drain tank to release air pressure before removing the dipstick.

WARNING: Make sure air vent in dipstick is free from debris. If air vent is blocked pressure can

build in crankcase causing damage to compressor and possible personal injury.

When the oil volume is insufficient, refer to the section “Oil change-oil topping off” on page 10 for a description of how to supply the oil.

6.Right running position

Position the compressor on a flat surface or one with an inclination of 10° at the most, in a well ventilated area away from atmospheric agents and not in explosive areas (Fig.5).

CAUTION : In order to avoid damaging the compres- sor, do not allow the unit to be tilted more

than 10° when operating.

NOTE: When operating or storing the copmressor, set 4 rubber bumpers downward on the floor (Refer to Fig.1)
