Safety Information (continued)

ELECTRICAL SAFETY (EXTENSION CORDS)

1. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the
air compressor's plug.
2. When using the air compressor at a considerable distance
from the power source, use an extension cord heavy
enough to carry the current that the compressor will draw.
An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line
voltage, resulting in a loss of power and causing the
motor to overheat. Use the chart provided below to
determine the minimum wire size required in an extension
cord.
3. Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter's
Laboratories (UL) should be used.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY (ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION)
1. This air compressor is powered by a precision built
electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply
that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household
current).
2. Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A
substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and
the motor will overheat. If the air compressor does not
operate when plugged into an outlet, double check the
power supply.

4. When working with the air compressor outdoors, use an
extension cord that is designed for outside use. This is
indicated by the letters "W-A" on the cord's jacket.
5. Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY (SPEED AND WIRING)

1. The no-load speed of the electric motor varies by model
and specification. The motor speed is not constant and
decreases under a load or with lower voltage. For voltage,
the wiring in a shop is as important as the motor's
horsepower rating.
2. A line intended only for lights cannot properly carry a
power tool motor. Wire that is heavy enough for a short
distance will be too light for a greater distance. A line that
can support one power tool may not be able to support
two or three tools.

WARNING: Keep the extension cord clear of the working
area. Position the cord so that it will not get caught on
lumber, tools, or other obstructions while you are
working with a power tool. Failure to do so can result in
serious personal injury.
WARNING: Check the extension cords before each use.
If damaged, replace immediately. Never use the air
compressor with a damaged cord since touching the
damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in
serious personal injury.
NOTE: Use longer air hoses instead of long extension
cords. Your air compressor will run better and last
longer.
