English Glossary CFM: Cubic feet per minute. SCFM: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air delivery. PSI: Pounds per square inch; a unit of measure of pressure. Code Certification: Products that bear one or more of the following marks: UL®*, CUL, ETL®*, CETL, have been evaluated by OSHA certified independent safety laboratories and meet the applicable Standards for Safety. * UL® is a registered trademark of Underwriters Laboratories and ETL® is a registered trademark of Electrical Testing Laboratories. California Code: Unit may comply with California Code 462 (l) (2)/ (M) (2). Specification/model label is on the side of the air tank on units that comply with California Code. Unloader Blow-Off Pressure: All models are continuous running units controlled by air tank pressure. When the maximum air tank pressure is obtained, the unloader valve will blow-off. This will cause the compressor to exhaust the air to the atmosphere and not the tank. This decreases the load on the engine and allows it to run at a near no-load condition. Unloader Reset Pressure: When the air tank pressure drops to a predetermined point, the unloader valve closes. The air tank pressure will now increase until it reaches the unloader blow-off pressure. Troubleshooting Guide This section provides a list of the more frequently encountered malfunctions, their causes and corrective actions. The operator or maintenance personnel can perform some corrective actions, and others may require the assistance of a qualified DeWalt technician or your dealer.

GLOSSARY
CFM:
Cubic feet per minute.
SCFM:
Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air
delivery.
PSI:
Pounds per square inch; a unit of measure of pressure.
Code Certification:
Products that bear one or more of the fol-
lowing marks: UL
®
*, CUL, ETL
®
*, CETL, have been evaluated
by OSHA certified independent safety laboratories and meet the
applicable Standards for Safety.

California Code:
Unit may comply with California Code 462 (l) (2)/
(M) (2). Specification/model label is on the side of the air tank on
units that comply with California Code.
Unloader Blow-Off Pressure:
All models are continuous running
units controlled by air tank pressure. When the maximum air tank
pressure is obtained, the unloader valve will blow-off. This will
cause the compressor to exhaust the air to the atmosphere and
not the tank. This decreases the load on the engine and allows it
to run at a near no-load condition.
Unloader Reset Pressure:
When the air tank pressure drops to
a predetermined point, the unloader valve closes. The air tank
pressure will now increase until it reaches the unloader blow-off
pressure.
Troubleshooting Guide
This section provides a list of the more frequently encountered
malfunctions, their causes and corrective actions. The operator or
maintenance personnel can perform some corrective actions, and
others may require the assistance of a qualified D
