English Voltage and Circuit Protection Refer to the Voltage and Minimum Branch Circuit Requirements under Pump/Motor Specifications. CAUTION: Certain air compressors can be operated on a 15 amp circuit if the following conditions are met. • Voltage supply to circuit must comply with the National Electrical Code. The air compressor pump and shroud are designed to allow for proper cooling. The ventilation openings on the compressor are necessary to maintain proper operating temperature. Do not place rags or other containers on or near these openings. Place the air compressor on a flat surface resting on the rubber feet. NOISE CONSIDERATIONS • Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs. • Extension cords comply with specifications. • Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp circuit breaker or 15 amp time delay fuse. NOTE: If compressor is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use only time delay fuses. Time delay fuses should be marked "D" in Canada and "T" in the US. If any of the above conditions cannot be met, or if operation of the compressor repeatedly causes interruption of the power, it may be necessary to operate it from a 20 amp circuit. It is not necessary to change the cord set. Consult local officials for information regarding acceptable noise levels in your area. To reduce excessive noise, use vibration mounts or silencers, relocate the unit or construct total enclosures or baffle walls. Contact a DEWALT service center or call 1-800-4-DEWALT for assistance. ELECTRICAL Refer to all safety instructions before using unit. Observe extension cord safety instructions if necessary. Always move the On/Off switch (A) to the OFF position before removing the plug from the outlet. Compatibility TRANSPORTING Air tools and accessories that are run off the compressor must be compatible with petroleum-based products. If you suspect that a material is not compatible with petroleum products, an air line filter for removal of moisture and oil vapor in compressed air is required. When transporting the compressor in a vehicle, trailer, etc., ensure that the tank is drained and the unit is secured. Use care when driving to avoid tipping the unit over in the vehicle. Damage can occur to the compressor or surrounding items if the compressor is tipped. NOTE: Always use an air line filter to remove moisture and oil vapor MOVING when spraying paint. When moving the compressor, grasp the handle and carry the com- Location pressor as close to the body as possible. Place the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area at WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Ensure proper footing and least 12" (304.8 mm) away from the wall or other obstructions that use caution when carrying compressor to avoid a loss of balance. will interfere with the flow of air. Keep the compressor away from areas that have dirt and/or volatile fumes in the atmosphere. These impurities may clog the intake filter and valves, causing inefficient operation. 10
