Dewalt DXCMLA1682066 Instruction Manual - Page 13

English • a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product • in good condition • plug is not worn • no longer than 50 feet (15.2 m) • 12 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as gauge number decreases. 10 AWG and 8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT USE 14 OR 16 AWG.) NOTICE: The use of an undersized extension cord will cause voltage to drop resulting in power loss to the motor and overheating. Instead of using an extension cord, increase the working reach of the air hose by attaching another length of hose to its end. Attach additional lengths of hose as needed. Always use a minimum 3/8" (9.5 mm) or greater air hose rated at 300 psi. Voltage and Circuit Protection Refer to the Voltage and Minimum Branch Circuit Requirements under 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. • 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 U.S. 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. How to Use Your Unit (Fig 3) How to Stop: Set the Auto/Off switch to "Off". Before Starting WARNING: Do not operate this unit until you read this instruction manual for safety, operation and maintenance instructions. Break-in Procedure NOTICE: Risk of property damage. 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 and when the check valve or a complete compressor pump has been replaced. 1. Make sure the Auto/Off switch is in the "Off" position. 2. Check oil level in pump. See Oil paragraph in the Maintenance section for instructions. 3. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle. (Refer to Voltage and Circuit Protection paragraph in the installation section of this manual.) 4. Open the drain valve (counterclockwise) fully to permit air to escape and prevent air pressure build up in the air tank during the break-in period. 5. Move the Auto/Off switch to "Auto" position. The compressor will start. 6. Run the compressor for 30 minutes. Make sure the drain valve and all air lines are open so there is only a minimal air pressure build-up in tank. 13
