OPERATION WARNING: Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury. WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating power tools. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible serious injury. CAUTION: Do not use in an environment that is dusty or otherwise contaminated. Using the air compressor in this type of environment may cause damage to the unit. APPLICATIONS Air compressors are utilized in a variety of air system applications. Match hoses, connectors, air tools, and accessories to the capabilities of the air compressor. You may use this tool for the purposes listed below: Operating some air-powered tools Inflating tires, air beds, sports equipment, etc. USING THE AIR COMPRESSOR See Figures38. - 9. Ensure power switch is in the OFF (O) position and air compressor is unplugged. If not already installed, attach hose to compressor as previously instructed. Turn the switch ON ( l ). Rotate pressure regulator knob to desired line pres- sure. Turning the knob clockwise increases air pressure at the outlet; turning counterclockwise reduces air pressure at the outlet. Following all safety precautions in this manual you may now proceed to use your air-powered tool. WARNING: Your tool may require more air consumption than this air compressor is capable of providing. Check the tool manual to avoid damage to the tool or risk of personal injury. If using an inflation accessory, control the amount of air flow with the pressure regulator knob. Turning the knob fully counterclockwise will completely stop the flow of air. NOTE: Always use the minimum amount of pressure necessary for your application. Using a higher pressure than needed will drain air from the tank more rapidly and cause the unit to cycle on more frequently. When finished, always drain the tank and unplug the unit. Never leave the unit plugged in and/or running unattended. WARNING: Always ensure the switch is in the OFF (O) position and the regulator pressure gauge reads zero before changing air tools or disconnecting the hose from the air outlet. Failure to do so could result in possible serious personal injury. Rotate regulator knob fully clockwise to open air flow. Turn the locking nut clockwise to lock. Connect the power cord to the power supply. 13
