English 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. Transporting 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. MOVING When moving the compressor, grasp the handle and carry the compressor as close to the body as possible. WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Ensure proper footing and use caution when carrying compressor to avoid a loss of balance. Preparation For Use Pre-Start Checklist (Fig. 1) 1. Ensure the On/Off switch (A) is in the OFF position. 2. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle. See Voltage and Circuit Protection under Installation. 3. Ensure air tank is drained, see Draining Air Tank under Maintenance. 4. Ensure the drain valve (H) is closed. 5. Ensure safety valve (G) is functioning properly, see Checking Safety Valve under Maintenance. 6. Check pump oil level, see Compressor Pump Oil under Maintenance. CAUTION: Do not operate without oil or with inadequate oil. DeWALT is not responsible for compressor failure caused by inadequate oil. 7. Turn regulator knob (D) counterclockwise until fully closed. Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 PSI (0 kPa). 8. Attach hose and accessories. Warning: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip. 9. Ensure all covers and labels are in place, legible (for labels) and securely mounted. Do not use compressor until all items have been verified. Warning: Risk of bursting. Too much air pressure causes a hazardous risk of bursting. Check the manufacturer's maximum pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The regulator outlet pressure must never exceed the maximum pressure rating. Initial Set-up (Fig. 1) WARNING: Do not operate this unit until you read and understand this instruction manual for safety, operation and maintenance instructions. Break-in Procedure Warning: Serious damage may result if the following break-in instructions are not closely followed. This procedure is required before the air compressor is put into service for the first time and when the check valve or a compressor pump/motor has been replaced. 1. Ensure the On/Off switch (A) is in the OFF position. NOTE: If hose is not connected to Quick Connect body, pull coupler back until it clicks to prevent air from escaping through the quick connect. 2.
