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.
Always wear safety goggles or safety

Do not use in an environment that is dusty
CAUTION:
or otherwise contaminated. Using the air compressor in this
type of environment may cause damage to the unit.
APPLICATIONS
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.
USING THE AIR COMPRESSOR
See Figures 9 - 13.
•
Ensure power switch is in the OFF ( O ) position and air
compressor is unplugged.
•
If not already installed, attach hose to compressor as
previously instructed. The hose has to be inserted into
the quick connect coupler and the regulator knob must
be rotated to select the appropriate use or pressure.
•
Insert the blower attachment or connector for the tool
you wish to use into the female connector on the other
end of the spiral hose.
WARNING:
Always ensure the switch is in the OFF (O)
position before changing air tools or disconnecting the hose
from the air outlet. Failure to do so could result in possible
serious personal injury.
•
Connect the power cord to the power supply.
•
Turn the switch ON ( l ).
•
Following all safety precautions in this manual and the
manufacturer's instructions in the air tool manual, you
may now proceed to use your air-powered tool or the
blower attachment.
WARNING:
Your tool may require more air consumption
than this air compressor is capable of providing. Check the
tool manual to avoid damage to the tool or risk of personal
injury.
•
When using the blower attachment, the amount of air
pressure can be further controlled by the amount the
lever of the attachment is depressed.
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.
