General Usage Description
This
Mastercraft®
Air Compressor is ideal for a number of light-duty applications such as inflation and
cleaning. The small 2-gallon tank is lightweight for easy portability. It features an oil-less pump for low
maintenance and comes standard with a 25’ coil hose and a 7-piece accessory kit so it’s ready to use, right
out of the box.
Compatible Compressor & Air Tool - Guidelines for Proper Usage & Operation
Always ensure the use of appropriately matched air tools with your Mastercraft® Air Compressor. Be sure
that the air compressor being used can supply the appropriate volume, pressure and delivery rate of air to the
tool(s) without running continuously. Using tools or combinations of tools that together or separately require
more than the air compressor can deliver will void the compressor guarantee/warranty.
EXTENSION CORDS
:
Avoid the use of extension cords whenever possible. If an extension
cord must be used, it must have a minimum wire size of 12 AWG, and
must be no longer than 50’ (15 m). Use only a 3-wire extension cord
that has a 3-pronged grounding plug, and plug it into a 3-holed outlet
that is suitable for the compressor’s plug.
Whenever possible, utilize a longer air hose instead of an
extension cord.
Before You Start
– Air System:
1. A filter-regulator-lubricator is recommended and should be located as close to the air-powered tool as
possible. (see Fig.4)
2. If a filter-regulator-lubricator is not installed, place 2-6 drops of compressor oil into the NPT inlet plug of
your air-powered tools before each use.
3. If installed, keep air filter clean. A dirty filter will reduce the air pressure to the tool causing a reduction in
power, efficiency and performance in general.
4. For better performance, install a quick connector in your tool and quick coupler on the hose.
5. Be sure all connections in air supply system are sealed to prevent air loss.
