Using the air compressor
NOTE: Air compressors are utilized in a variety of air system
applications. Match hoses, connectors, air tools, and
accessories to the capabilities of the air compressor. You
may use this tool for purposes listed below:
□
Operating some air-powered tools.
□
Inflating tires, air beds, sports equipment, etc.
□
Ensure the tank drain valve (K) is closed.
□
Ensure the on/off switch (B) is in the OFF position and the
air compressor is unplugged.
□
Ensure the pressure regulator knob (G) is turned fully
counterclockwise.
□
If not already installed, attach the hose to the compressor.
□
Connect the air powered tools (CC1) to the air hose by
inserting the male quick-connect plug (CC2) to the quick-
coupler at the end of the coil hose (CC3).
□
Connect the power cord to the power supply.
□
Turn the on/off switch (B) to the ON position.
□
Rotate the pressure regulator knob (G) to the desired line
pressure. Turning the knob clockwise increases air
pressure at the outlet; turning the knob counterclockwise
reduces air pressure at the outlet.
NOTE: Before connecting or disconnecting air tools, turn the
regulator knob (G) counterclockwise to stop the flow of air.
□
Following all safety precautions in this manual and the
manufacturer's instructions in the air tool manual. You
may now use your air-powered tool.
□
If using an inflation accessory with a quick-connect fitting,
control the amount of air flow with the pressure regulator
knob (G). Turning the knob fully counterclockwise will
completely stop the flow of air.
NOTE: Always use the minimum amount of pressure
necessary for your application. Using a higher pressure than
needed will drain air from the tank more rapidly and cause
the unit to cycle on more frequently.
□
When finished, always drain the tank and unplug the unit.
Never leave the unit plugged in and/or running unattended.
WARNING: Check the air tool manual to insure the correct air
pressure regulator setting for optimum operation of your air
tools. If you are using an air tool not originally included with
the air tool kit supplied with this air compressor, your tool
may require more air consumption than this air compressor
is designed to supply.
Always read your air tool owner's manual to match the
correct air supply to your air tool to avoid damage to the tool
WARNING: Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is
sufficient to inflict serious injury.
WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses
with side shields when operating power tools. Failure to do
so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes
resulting in possible serious injury.
CAUTION: Do not use in an environment that is dusty or
otherwise contaminated. Using the air compressor in this
type of environment may cause damage to the unit.
WARNING: Always ensure the on/off switch (B) is in the OFF
position and the regulator pressure gauge reads zero before
changing air tools or disconnecting the hose from the air
outlet. Failure to do so could result in possible serious
personal injury.
