OPERATION
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, always
wear proper eye protection marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
When working in dusty situations, wear appro-
priate respiratory protection or use an OSHA
compliant dust extraction solution.
Turning the Air Compressor On/Off
1. Connect the hose and accessories to the air com
-
pressor.
2. Install the battery pack.
3. To start the compressor, move the Auto On/Off
switch to the
AUTO ON
(I) position.
When in the
AUTO ON
(I) position, the air com-
pressor will automatically turn back on when the
designated tank air pressure drops below the
preset pressure limit. It will also shut off again
when the cut-off pressure is reached.
4. To turn the air compressor off, move the Auto On/
Off switch to the
OFF
(O) position. Release pres
-
sure from the tank before
making adjustments,
servicing, transporting, or storing.
Using the Air Compressor
WARNING
Risk of Bursting. Do not adjust
regulator to result in output pres-
sure greater than marked maximum pressure of
attachment. Do not use at pressure greater than
135 psi.
Air powered tools may require more air consump
-
tion than this air compressor is capable of provid
-
ing. Check the tool manual to avoid damage to
the tool or risk of personal injury.
1. Run the daily check of the release valve (see
"Checking the Release Valve").
2. Turn off the air compressor and remove the bat
-
tery pack.
3. Attach a properly rated air hose to the air compres
-
sor (see "Connecting an Air Hose").
4. Use the correct fittings to connect the air tool or
accessory to the hose.
5. Install the battery pack.
6. Move the Auto On/Off switch to the
AUTO ON
(I) position.
7. Set the air pressure using regulator knob. Turn the
knob clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to
decrease the air pressure.
8. Following all safety precautions in this manual
and the manufacturer’s instructions in the air tool
manual, begin using the air tool or accessory.
NOTE
: The air compressor will shut off during an
electrical overload. To reset the internal overload
switch, turn off the air compressor and allow the
unit to cool. Remove and then reinstall the battery
before resuming operation.
9. When finished, move the Auto On/Off switch to the
OFF
(O) position, remove the battery, release all
pressure, disconnect air hose and air tools, allow
unit to cool to the touch, and drain the tank. Never
leave the unit on and/or running unattended.
Releasing Tank Pressure
WARNING
Air tanks are under high pressure.
Keep face and other body parts
away from outlet when relieving pressure. Always
wear proper eye protection marked to comply
with ANSI Z87.1.
1. Turn off the air compressor and remove the battery
pack.
2. Pull the ring on the release valve to release air
until tank pressure gauge reads less than 20 psi.
3. Release the ring.
Connecting an Air Hose
(Hose Not Provided)
WARNING
Never exceed the air hose or air
tool's pressure rating as recom-
mended by the manufacturer. When using this
air compressor as an inflation device, always
follow the maximum inflation guidelines stated
by the manufacturer of the item being inflated.
1. Turn off the air compressor and remove the battery
pack.
2. Rotate pressure regulator knob fully in the counter-
clockwise direction so that the outlet pressure is
at zero (0) psi.
WARNING
! Just because the air
compressor is not running does not mean there
is no pressure in the tank.
3. Attach a properly rated air hose with quick connect
air fitting to 1/4" quick coupler on the air compres
-
sor. Push the hose adaptor onto the coupler until
the sleeve springs forward to lock it in place.
Disconnecting an Air Hose or Air Tool
WARNING
Always turn OFF (O) the air com-
pressor and ensure 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.
1. Turn off the air compressor and remove the battery
pack. Confirm that the outlet pressure is at zero (0)
psi.
WARNING
! Just because the air compressor
is not running does not mean there is no pressure
in the tank.
2. To remove the air hose from the air compressor,
grasp the release end of the hose securely and
pull back on the release sleeve on the 1/4" quick
coupler on the air compressor. Pull the hose fitting
away from the coupler.
3. To remove an air tool from the air hose, according
to the manufacturer's instructions.
