Become familiar with these terms before operating the unit.
CFM:
Cubic feet per minute.
SCFM:
Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air delivery.
PSI:
Pounds per square inch; a unit of measure of pressure.
Code Certification:
Products that bear one or more of the following marks:
UL, CUL, ETL, CETL, have been evaluated by OSHA certified independent
safety laboratories and meet the applicable Underwriters Laboratories
Standards for Safety.
Cut-In Pressure:
While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops as you
continue to use your accessory. When the tank pressure drops to a certain low
level the motor will restart automatically. The low pressure at which the motor
automatically restarts is called "cut-in" pressure.
Cut-Out Pressure:
When an air compressor is turned on and begins to run,
air pressure in the air tank begins to build. It builds to a certain high pressure
before the motor automatically shuts off - protecting your air tank from
pressure higher than its capacity. The high pressure at which the motor shuts
off is called "cut-out" pressure.
Branch Circuit:
Circuit carrying electricity from electrical panel to outlet.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Air compressors should be operated on not more than a 50% duty cycle. This
means an air compressor that pumps air more than 50% of one hour is
considered misuse, because the air compressor is undersized for the required
air demand. Maximum compressor pumping time per hour is 30 minutes.
