2. Make sure all hose connections are
adequately secured to prevent tools or hose
ends from being accidentally disconnected.
3. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before
turning the tool on. A wrench or key that is
left attached to a moving part of the tool may
result in personal injury.
4. Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark work areas invite accidents.
5. Keep children away.
All children should be kept away from the work
area. Never let a child handle a tool without
strict adult supervision.
6. Store idle tools out of the reach of children and
untrained persons.
Tools may be dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
7.
Do not operate any tool if under the influence
of alcohol or drugs.
Read warning labels on prescriptions to
determine if your judgment or reflexes are
impaired while taking drugs. If there is any
doubt, do not attempt to operate.
8. Do not force tool.
Use the correct tool for your application. The
correct tool will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
9. Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
10. Check for damage.
Check your tool regularly. If part of the tool
is damaged it should be carefully inspected
to make sure that it can perform its’ intended
function correctly. If in doubt, the part should
be repaired. Refer all servicing to a qualified
technician. Consult your dealer for advice.
11. Maintain tools with care.
Keep tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges, are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Getting Started
Unpack your compressor.
Before operating your tool, check the contents of the
box to make sure you have everything you will need.
Items included in the box:
●
Air Compressor
●
Owner’s Manual
Save packaging in case you need to
return the compressor for servicing or
repair.
Power Source Connection
Power Requirements
This equipment is designed to operate on a properly
grounded 230 volt, 60 Hz, single phase alternating
current (AC) power source. If connected to a circuit
protected by fuses, use time-delay fuse marked “D”.
Installation should be executed by a licensed
electrician who should verify the ACTUAL VOLTAGE
of the circuit into which the tool will be connected
and that it is properly grounded.
A 230 volt motor will not work sufficiently on a
nominal 208 volt system. Even if the actual voltage
is up to 208 volts, the 10-12 volt drop during start
up (this is an average, but not a high figure for
commercial buildings) may cause the motor to
labor and blow fuses or heater elements. Do not
accept the nominal figure for line voltage, but rather
measure it with a voltmeter during a period of
maximum power demand.
The use of the proper circuit size can eliminate
nuisance circuit breaker tripping when using your
tool. Improper performance, and/or, damage to
the tool will result if operated on inadequate, or
excessive power.
Wiring should be installed by a licensed electrician
who is familiar with requirements of the National
Board of Fire Underwriters and of the local
inspectors is recommended. Consult your local
electrical contractor regarding electric codes and
recommended wire sizes.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL if
the ACTUAL power source
voltage is less than 215 volts AC or greater than
230 volts AC.
Grounding Instructions
●
In the event of an electrical malfunction or short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock. The motor of this machine is wired for
230 V single phase operation and must be
hard-wired into your electrical panel.
●
All electrical connections must be tightened
before starting. This includes connections at the
Magnetic starter. This shall include all factory
connections.
●
Repeat: Check
all
electrical connections before
startup.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK –
hazardous voltage: disconnect
from power source before servicing. Compressor
must be grounded. Do not use grounding
adaptors. Do not expose to rain. Store indoors.
Assembly
Before performing any assembly or
maintenance, make sure compressor
is turned off and unplugged from the power
supply.
Place compressor on a level surface. It is top-heavy
and must be fastened securely to the floor.
Operation
Before operating your air compressor:
●
Inspect for damage before using the air
compressor, make sure the air tank is not
damaged, inspect all parts for damage, and
