English Disconnecting Hoses Warning: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip. 1. Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 PSI (0 kPa). 2. Pull coupler on quick connect body back to release quick connect plug on hose. Lubrication and Oil CAUTION: The compressor was shipped without oil in the crankcase. A small amount of oil may be present in the pump upon receipt of the air compressor. This is due to testing and does not mean the pump contains oil. Do not attempt to operate this air compressor without first adding oil to the crankcase. Serious damage can result from even limited operation unless filled with oil and broken in correctly. Closely follow Initial Set-up under Operation. CAUTION: Multi-viscosity motor oils, like 10W-30, should not be used in an air compressor. They leave carbon deposits on critical components, thus reducing performance and compressor life. Use DeWalt synthetic oil only. 1. Place unit on a level surface. 2. Remove dipstick (K) and slowly add K DeWalt synthetic oil (supplied). NOTE: See Specifications for pump oil capacity. CAUTION: Risk of unsafe operation. Overfilling with oil will cause premature compressor failure. Do not overfill. 3. Replace dipstick. Grounding Instructions Warning: Risk of electrical shock. In the event of a short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This air compressor must be properly grounded. The portable air compressor is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. 1. The cord set and plug (R) with this unit contains a grounding pin (S). This plug R MUST be used with a grounded outlet (T). T IMPORTANT: The outlet being used must be installed and grounded in accordance S with all local codes and ordinances. 2. Ensure the outlet being used has the same configuration as the grounded plug. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER. 3. Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there are signs of damage. 4. If these grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the compressor is properly grounded, have the installation checked by a qualified electrician. danger: Risk of electrical shock. IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Do not modify the plug provided. If it does not fit the available out- let, a correct outlet should be installed by a qualified electrician. Repairs to the cord set or plug MUST be made by a qualified electrician. 12

DISCONNECTING HOSES
WARNING:
Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand
when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
1. Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 PSI (0 kPa).
±. Pull coupler on quick connect body back to release quick
connect plug on hose.
Lubrication and Oil
CAUTION:
The compressor was shipped without oil in the
crankcase. A small amount of oil may be present in the pump
upon receipt of the air compressor. This is due to testing and does
not mean the pump contains oil. Do not attempt to operate this
air compressor without first adding oil to the crankcase. Serious
damage can result from even limited operation unless filled with
oil and broken in correctly. Closely follow
Initial Set-up
under
Operation.
CAUTION:
Multi-viscosity motor oils, like 10W-30, should not be
used in an air compressor. They leave carbon deposits on critical
components, thus reducing performance and compressor life. Use
D
E
WALT synthetic oil only.
1. Place unit on a level surface.
K
±. Remove
dipstick
(K)
and
slowly
add

WALT synthetic oil (supplied).
NOTE:
See
Specifications for pump oil capacity.
CAUTION
: Risk of unsafe operation. Overfilling
with oil will cause premature compressor failure.
Do not overfill.
². Replace dipstick.
Grounding Instructions
WARNING:
Risk of electrical shock. In the event of a short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current. This air compressor must be properly
grounded.
The portable air compressor is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug.
1. The cord set and plug (R) with this unit
S
R

±. Ensure the outlet being used has the same configuration as the
grounded plug. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER.
². Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there
are signs of damage.
4. If these grounding instructions are not completely understood, or
if in doubt as to whether the compressor is properly grounded,
have the installation checked by a qualified electrician.
DANGER:
Risk of electrical shock. IMPROPER GROUNDING
