WARNING
Always ensure the switch 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.

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.
g If using an inflation accessory, control the amount of air
flow with the pressure regulator knob. 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.
g When finished, always drain the tank and unplug the unit.
Never leave the unit plugged in and/or running unattended.
(See page 15 for draining instructions.)
