NOTICE: Use longer air hoses
instead of long extension cords.
Your air compressor will run better
and last longer.
This air compressor is powered by a
precision built electric motor. It
should be connected to a power
supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC
only (normal household current).
1. The no-load speed of this product is
approximately
4,700
rpm. This
speed is not constant and decreas-
es under a load or with lower
voltage.
2. For voltage, the wiring in a shop is
as important as the motors horse-
power rating. A line intended only
for lights cannot properly carry a
power tool motor. Wire that is heavy
enough for a short distance will be
too light for a greater distance. A
line that can support one power tool
may not be able to support two or
three products.
1. This product must be grounded. In
the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk
of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current.
This product is equipped with a
cord that has a grounding wire with
an appropriate grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
2. Do not operate this tool on a direct
current. (DC) A substantial voltage
drop will cause a loss of power and
the motor will overheat. If the air
compressor does not operate when
plugged into an outlet, double
check the power supply.
Check extension cords before each
use. If damaged, replace immediately.
Never use the air compressor with a
damaged cord since touching the
damaged area could cause electrical
shock resulting in serious personal
injury.
Improperly connecting the equipment
grounding conductor can result in a
risk of electrical shock.
Avoid body contact with grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electrical shock if
your body is grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase risk of
electrical shock.
Replace damaged cords/wiring
immediately. Damaged cords/wiring
increases the risk of electrical shock.
PRE-OPERATION
SPECIFICATIONS
DUTY CYCLE
This air compressor pump can run
continuously. However, to prolong the
life of your air compressor, it is
recommended that a 50% average
duty cycle be maintained; that is, the
air compressor pump should not be
run more than 30 minutes in any given
hour.

Substitution of the word “DANGER”
for “WARNING” in not prohibited
when the risk associated with the
product is such that a situation
exists which if not avoided will
result in death or serious injury.
Check with a qualified electrician or
service professional if these instruc
tions are not completely understood
or if in doubt as to whether the tool
is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided; if it
will not fit in the outlet, have the
proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal
120-volt circuit and has a grounding
plug similar to the plug shown. Only
connect the product to an outlet
having the same configuration as the
plug. Do not use an adapter with this
product.
