KNOW YOUR AIR COMPRESSOR
Before attempting to use this product, familiarize yourself
with all operating features and safety rules. (Fig. 1)
Oil-free brushless motor
Your air compressor features permanently lubricated
bearings.
Power switch (pressure switch inside)
This switch is used to start or stop the air compressor.
Moving the power switch to the (ON) position will provide
automatic power to the pressure switch which will allow
the motor to start when the tank pressure is below the
factory set cut-in pressure. When in the (ON) position, the
pressure switch stops the motor when the tank pressure
reaches the factory set cut-out pressure. Moving the power
switch to the (OFF) position will remove power from the
motor and stop the air compressor.
Electric motor & air compressor pump
The motor is used to power the pump. The electric motor
has a thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats for
any reason, the thermal overload will cut off power, thus
preventing the motor from being damaged. Wait until the
motor is cool. Motor resets automatically.
Air compressor pump: to compress air, the piston moves
up and down in the cylinder. On the down stroke, air is
drawn in through the air intake valve while the exhaust
valve remains closed. On the upstroke, air is compressed,
the intake valve closes and compressed air is forced out
through the exhaust valve, into the discharge line, through
the check valve and into the tank.
Safety valve
This valve is designed to prevent system failures by
relieving pressure from the system when the compressed
air reaches a predetermined level. The valve is preset by
the manufacturer and must not be modifi ed in any way.
Drain valve
The drain valve is used to remove moisture from the tank.
Tank pressure gauge
The tank pressure gauge indicates the pressure of the air
in the tank.
Regulator pressure gauge
The current line pressure is displayed on the regulator
pressure gauge. This pressure can be adjusted by rotating
the pressure regulator knob.

Sliding charger for lithium ion
batteries
Pressure regulator knob
Use the pressure regulator knob to adjust the amount of air
being delivered through the hose.
The air pressure coming from the tank is controlled by the
regulator knob. Turn the pressure regulator knob clockwise
to increase discharge pressure and counterclockwise
to decrease discharge pressure. Follow tool operating
instructions for recommended pressure range.
Tank
The tank is used to store the compressed air.
Quick coupler
The outlet is used to connect the 1/4 in. NPT air hose.
Overload protector
This air compressor is equipped with a thermal overload
device which will turn the air compressor off automatically,
if the air compressor becomes overheated. If the motor
turns OFF repeatedly, check for the following possible
causes fi rst: The battery is depleted. Lack of proper
ventilation or outside air or room temperature too high.
To reset the air compressor:
(1) Turn the air compressor off .
(2) Remove the battery and allow the air compressor to
cool for 30 minutes.
(3) Install the battery in the air compressor.
(4) Turn the air compressor on.
ASSEMBLY
1. Unpacking
This product requires assembly.
○ Carefully remove the compressor and any accessories
from the box. Make sure that all items listed in the
packing list are included.
○ Inspect the compressor carefully to make sure no
breakage or damage occurred during shipping.
○ Do not discard the packing material until you have
carefully inspected and satisfactorily operated the
compressor.

WARNING
○ If any parts are missing do not operate the compressor
until the missing parts are replaced. Failure to do so
could result in possible serious personal injury.
○ Do not attempt to modify this compressor or create
accessories not recommended for use with this
compressor. Any such alteration or modifi cation is
misuse and could result in a hazardous condition
leading to possible serious personal injury.
3. Attaching the intake fi lter
CAUTION
Do not operate without the intake fi lter.
○ Turn off the power of the air compressor, and remove
the battery.
○ Turn the intake fi lter counter-clockwise until it stops
and then remove the intake fi lter cap and fi lter element.
(Fig. 2)
○ Firmly screw in the intake fi lter body.
○ After inserting the fi lter element, match the grooves of
the intake fi lter cap with the three protrusions on the
intake fi lter body so that the hose points downward.
Then, turn the intake fi lter cap clockwise until it stops.
