SAFETY OVERVIEW

WARNING - PERSONAL SAFETY

• ALWAYS wear correct personal protection equipment as needed for the task at

hand and with the air tools and accessories being used.

• ALWAYS wear safety goggles for eye protection. Other protective equipment

such as hearing protection, steel toe boots, safety apparel, work gloves and

face shield are all recommended.

DANGER – AIR TANK

• The air tank becomes a pressurized vessel when in use. Always treat it with

caution and respect because severe damage can cause ruptures that may

lead to explosive fragments.

• NEVER attempt to repair or make modications to the air tank or it’s attached

components. Welding, drilling or any other modications may weaken the tank,

which may result in damage from rupture or explosion.

• NEVER remove or attempt to adjust the pressure switch, safety valve, or other

factory set operating pressures.

• ALWAYS drain liquid from air tank daily, or after each use. Failure to drain the

tank will cause rust from moisture to build which will weaken the tank and lead

to rupture or explosion failures,

• NEVER use an air compressor with visible damage. Including, but not limited

to; dents, cracks, rust or bulges. Visible aw is an immediate safety concern.

WARNING – FIRE

• Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use compressor near gasoline or

ammable materials. Normal sparking of the motor or from grinding metal

could ignite fumes.

• NEVER spray ammable materials in the vicinity of the air compressor

because it may be an ignition source.

WARNING– UNBREATHABLE AIR

• NEVER use this air compressor as a source for breathable air.

• This air compressor is not designed, to supply breathable quality air. Air

produced by this unit may contain toxic fumes or lack su󰀩cient oxygen levels

to maintain life.

WARNING- ELECTRIC SHOCK KICKBACK

• This air compressor is powered by electricity and should never be used without

properly grounded electrical connections.

• NEVER expose to water or use in wet or damp conditions.

• NEVER use wet hands to plug in the power cord.

• NEVER use a damaged or modied cord or plug.

WARNING – PRESSURIZED AIR

• NEVER direct compressed air at people or pets. Extreme caution is required

with air nozzles that can discharge a concentrated stream of air.

• Be aware of loose debris or dirt that can be dislodged by pressurized air and

become projectiles that can cause injury or damage.

• ALWAYS wear eye protection when using an air compressor.

WARNING – AIR TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES

• NEVER exceed the pressure rating on any air tools, spray guns, accessories

or inatables. Excessive pressure can cause failure or explosion resulting in

injury.

• ALWAYS be familiar with the air tools and accessories that are being used.

Read the owner’s manual and be familiar with the operation and function of the

air tools and accessories.

• Inspect the air hoses before use. Be aware of any damage which can lead to

ruptures. Do not twist, bend, know, or modify hose. Do not wrap hose around

body.

CAUTION – HOT SURFACES

• Air compressors generate signicant heat during normal operation that may

cause serious burns. The compressor will remain hot for sometime after

shutdown.

• ALWAYS assume the air compressor can be hot and handle carefully. Be

especially careful around the pump, motor, and the related ttings and the

connections.

CAUTION – OVERHEATING

• Do not let your air compressor overheat. Failure to do so will result in undue

wear and tear, reduce life span, and can lead to component failure.

• Air compressor’s motor are air-cooled. Always ensure that the machine is

operated in a well-ventilated area where it can draw a steady supply of fresh

air. The arrows below show an example of locations for air intake on an engine.

• Always maintain the air lter to ensure adequate air ow into the pump.

SAFETY OVERVIEW

CAUTION - DUTY CYCLE

• The Duty Cycle is an expression of how much time an air compressor

can be continuously ran without overheating.

• This air compressor has a 50% Duty Cycle, which means that over a ten

minute time period it can safely operate for ve minutes, and should rest

for ve minutes.

• The air compressor can be run straight without stopping, however,

this will surpass the duty cycle and begin to create wear and tear from

overheating.

• ALWAYS match the performance of the air compressor to the demands of

the tools and applications required.

INSTALLATION & GROUNDING

Lubrication and Oil: This compressor requires no lubrication or oiling. No break

in procedure is required by the user. This product is factory tested to ensure

proper operation and performance.

Location of the Air Compressor: The air compressor should always be

located in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated environment. The unit should have at

minimum, 30cm of space on each side. The air filter intake should be free of any

debris or obstructions. Check the air filter on a daily basis to be sure it is clean

and in working order.

Extension Cords: We do not recommend the use of an extension cord with this

product. This may result in the loss of power and overheating of the motor. An

additional air hose should be used instead of an extension cord. However, if the

use of an extension cord is unavoidable, use only UL listed wire extension cords

that have three-pronged grounding type plugs and three prong receptacles that

accept the tool’s plug. Improper use of extension cords may cause ine󰀩cient

operation of your compressor, which can result in overheating.

Be sure your extension cord is rated to allow su󰀩cient ow to motor. Refer to the

guide for minimum gauge required for extension cords.

Use of an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw is

very important. Especially when the power source is of great distance. An exten-

sion cord that is insu󰀩cient will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in power

loss and causing the motor to overheat.

Guard against electrical shock. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such

as pipes, radiators, ovens, stoves, and refrigerator enclosures. If not properly

grounded, this power tool can incur the potential hazard of electrical shock,

particularly when used in damp locations. If an electrical shock occurs, there is

the potential of a secondary hazard such as your hands contacting an operating

air tool.

Grounding Instructions: This product

should 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 having

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. Check with a

qualified electrician or service personnel

if these instructions are not completely

understood or if in doubt as to whether the

tool is properly grounded.

OPERATION

Start-Up Procedures

1. Set the On/Off switch to the off position.

2. Check the air compressor visually for any damage or obstruction.

3. Close the drain valve.

4. Plug the power cord into the proper receptacle.

5. Turn the On/Off switch to the On position and the compressor should start and

build air pressure in the tank to cut-out pressure and then shut off automatically.

6. Adjust the regulator to a PSI setting that is recommended for your application.

7. The air compressor is now ready for use.

WARNING Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in a risk of

electric shock. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not

connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation

having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the

grounding wire. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding

instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the

product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided; if it will not fit the

outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Shut-Down Procedures

1. Set the Auto-On/Off lever to the Off position.

2. Unplug the power cord from the receptacle.

3. Set the outlet pressure to zero on the regulator.

4. Remove any air tools or accessories.

5. Open the drain valve allowing air to bleed from the tank. After all of the air has

bled from the tank, close the drain valve to prevent debris buildup in the valve.

Water that remains in the tank during storage will corrode and weaken the air

tank, which could cause the tank to rupture. To avoid serious injury, be sure to

drain the tank after each use or daily.

CAUTION When draining the tank, always use ear and eye protection. Drain

the tank in a suitable location; condensation will be present in most cases of

draining.
