Dewalt DXCMLA4708065 Instruction Manual - Page 13

English Refer to the Specifications, in the parts manual, for this information. 2. The supply line should have the same electrical characteristics (voltage, cycle, phase) as the motor. Refer to the motor nameplate, on side of motor, for this information. NOTE: The wiring used must be rated for the motor nameplate voltage, plus or minus 10%. Refer to local codes for recommended wire sizes, correct wire size, and maximum wire run; undersize wire causes high amp draw and overheating to the motor. WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. Electrical wiring must be located away from hot surfaces such as manifold assembly, compressor outlet tubes, heads, or cylinders. Grounding Instructions This product should be connected to a metallic, permanent wiring system, of and equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the product. 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. Main power disconnect switch Install a main power disconnect switch in the line from the panel to the compressor. The main power disconnect switch must be located near the compressor, for ease of use and safety. When turned OFF, the main power disconnect switch shuts off all power to the compressor. When it is turned ON, the compressor will start and stop automatically, controlled by the pressure switch. Air Distribution System WARNING: Risk of bursting. Plastic or PVC pipe is not designed for use with compressed air. Regardless of its indicated pressure rating, plastic pipe can burst from air pressure. Use only metal pipe for air distribution lines. INSTALLING AND DISCONNECTING HOSES WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip. Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 psi. The next figure represents a typical air distribution system. The following are tips to remember when setting up the air compressor's air distribution system. NOTE: Compressed air from oil lube air compressors will contain wa­ter condensation and oil mist. Several drains, traps and filters will be needed to supply air without water (including aerosols) or oil to spray equipment, air tools and accessories requiring filtered air. Always read the ins­ truct­ions for the air tools and accessories being used. 13
