WARNING:
Risk of unsafe operation.
Ensure proper footing and
use caution when carrying
compressor to avoid a loss of
balance.
Do not carry while painting.
OPERATION
1. Start-up
Insert the plug into the receptacle and start the
compressor using the power switch. (Refer to Fig. 2).
WARNING:
Do not stop or start the
compressor by use of the
plug. Always use “ON/OFF”
button located on the power
switch.
The operation of the compressor is automatic and is
controlled by the power switch which stops it when the
pressure in the air-tank reaches the maximum level
and restart it when the air pressure drops during use
to the restart level.
The motor has a thermal protector. The thermal
protector will stop the motor when the temperature is
too high for any reason.
The motor must be allowed to cool down before
restarting.
CAUTION: Wear appropriate personal
hearing protection during use.
Under some conditions and
duration of use, noise from this
product may contribute to hearing
loss.
2. Adjustment of outlet pressure
Pull the knob of the pressure reducer to allow the
knob to rotate. Then, adjust the outlet pressure to
the required level by turning the knob of the pressure
reducer clockwise to increase the outlet pressure and
counterclockwise to decrease it.
A pressure gauge (B) is provided to show when the
required pressure is reached.
When adjusting the pressure, check and make
sure that a pressure gauge (A) for the tank has the
pressure level that is higher than that of the pressure
to be adjusted.
It is also imperative that you make adjustment by
slowly starting up the pressure from the level that is
lower than the pressure to be adjusted.
After adjusting the outlet pressure, push in the knob
of the pressure reducer to lock the knob and use the
tool.
WARNING:
Check the manufacturer’s
maximum pressure rating
for nailers, staplers and
accessories. Compressor
outlet pressure must be
regulated so as to never
exceed the maximum
pressure rating of the nailers,
staplers and accessories.
WARNING:
Make sure the air
fl
ow to
the pressure reducer is
completely closed (the
pressure gauge (B) attached
reads 0 psi) before attaching
and disconnecting the air
hose and applications.
