WARNING
Check the air tool manual to ensure the correct air
pressure regulator setting for optimum operation
of your air tools. If you are using an air tool not
originally included in the package contents list (not
necessarily supplied with the air compressor model
you have purchased), 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 or risk of personal injury.
NOTE
When the compressor is new, it will require a
"break-in" period to reach maximum performance.
The typical break-in period is four discharge cycles of
the battery using the BSL36B18 battery.
DRAINING THE TANK
To help prevent tank corrosion and keep moisture out of
the air used, the tank of the compressor should be drained
daily.
To drain the tank: (Fig. 13)
○ Verify that the compressor is turned off .
○ Holding the handle, tilt the compressor toward the
drain valve so that it's set in a lower position.
○ Open the drain valve by rotating it 1/4 turn
counterclockwise.
○ Keep the compressor tilted until all moisture has been
removed.
○ Drain moisture from tank into a suitable container.
NOTE
Condensate is a polluting material and should be
disposed of in compliance with local regulations.
○ If drain valve is clogged, release all air pressure by
pulling the safety valve. Remove and clean valve, then
reinstall.
WARNING
Remove the battery from the air compressor and
release all air from the tank before servicing. Failure to
depressurize tank before attempting to remove valve
may cause serious personal injury.
○ Close the drain valve by rotating it 1/4 turn clockwise.
END OF OPERATION/STORAGE
○ Turn the power switch to the OFF position.
○ Remove the battery.
○ Open the drain valve located at the lower part of the
tank. (Fig. 13) Tank pressure should be below 10 psi
when draining the tank.
WARNING
Risk of bursting. When the tank gets corroded, there is
a risk of breakdown. Water will condense in the tank.
If not drained, water will corrode and weaken the tank
causing a risk of tank rupture. Drain tank daily or after
4 hours of use. The drain contains moisture in the air,
abrasion particles, rust, etc..
To drain tank open valve slowly and tilt compressor to
empty accumulated water. Keep face and eyes away
from drain cock.
○ Air hose should be disconnected from compressor and
hung open ends down to allow any moisture to drain.
○ Compressor and hose should be stored in a cool, dry
place.
TRANSPORT
○ Turn the power switch to the OFF position.
○ Remove the battery.
○ Disconnect the air hose and depressurize the tank.
○ Transport the compressor by holding the handle.
OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS
Resting the unit after continuous work
(1) The power tool is equipped with a temperature
protection circuit to protect the motor.
Continuous work may cause the temperature of the unit
to rise, activating the temperature protection circuit and
automatically stopping operation.
If this happens, allow the power tool to cool before
resuming use.
(2) After use for continuous work, rest the unit for
15 minutes or so when replacing the battery. The
temperature of the motor, switch, etc., will rise if
the work is started again immediately after battery
replacement, eventually resulting in burnout.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
WARNING
○ Be sure to turned off the switch and remove the battery
before maintenance and inspection.
○ When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
○ Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields during compressor operation or when blowing
dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
○ Always release all pressure, disconnect from power
supply, and allow unit to cool to the touch before
cleaning or making repairs on the air compressor.
1. General maintenance
○ Humidity in the air causes condensation to form in the
tank. This condensation should be drained daily and/or
every hour, using the instructions found in Draining the
Tank.
○ The safety valve automatically releases air if the air
receiver pressure exceeds the preset maximum.
Check the safety valve before each use following the
instructions found in Checking the Safety Valve.
○ Inspect the tank yearly for rust, pin holes, or other
imperfections that could cause it to become unsafe.
○ Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types
of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their
use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease,
etc.
WARNING
Do not at any time let brake fl uids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts.
Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic
which may result in serious personal injury.
2. Lubrication
All the bearings in this compressor are lubricated with
a suffi cient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of
the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore,
no further lubrication of the bearings is required.
