• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Pull back long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should also be avoided. Loose clothing, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in “OFF” position before plugging in. Do not carry tools with your finger on the switch. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch in the “ON” position invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool “ON”. A wrench that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Always secure your work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It is safer than using your hand and frees both hands to operate tool.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
• Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

TOOL USE AND CARE SAFETY

WARNING
Be sure to read and understand all instruction before operating this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious Personal injury.

• Always use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool and blade for your application. The correct tool and blade will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use the tool if switch does not turn it “ON” or “OFF”. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• Never leave the tool running. Always turn it off. Do not leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.
• Store idle tools out of the reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended for this tool. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes,radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, and moving parts.
• Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.

NOTE
This compressor should be used on a nominal 120V grounded circuit. Use a power cord that is equipped with a grounding plug. Verify that the compressor is plugged into an outlet that has the same configuration as the plug. Do not use an adaptor with\ this compressor.

EXTENSION CORDS

CAUTION
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions while you are working with a power tool.

WARNING
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord since toughing the damaged area could cause electrical shock, resulting in serious injury. Use a proper extension cord. Only use cords listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Other extension cords can cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power and overheating of tool. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

PRODUCT FEATURES

Electric Motor
The motor is used to power the pump. It is equipped with a thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats for any reason, the thermal overload protector will shut it down in order to prevent the motor from being damaged.

Air Compressor Pump
The pump compresses the air and discharges it into the tank via the piston that moves up and down in the cylinder.

Safety Valve
This valve is used to prevent the compressor from building too much pressure. If the pressure reaches the preset level of the motor, it will automatically pop open. You can also pull the ring on the valve to open manually.

Power Switch
The Switch turns the compressor on and off manually. Always set this switch to the OFF position when the compressor is not being used and before unplugging.

Pressure Regulator
The regulator is used to adjust the pressure inside the line to the tool that is being used. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the pressure and counter- clockwise to decrease the pressure.

Tank Pressure Gauge
The gauge measures the pressure level of the air that is stored in the tank. It cannot be adjusted by the operator and it does not indicate the pressure inside the line.

Outlet Pressure Gauge
The gauge measures the regulated outlet pressure.

Quick Coupler (Universal Coupler)
The quick coupler is connected to the 1/4” (6.4 mm) NPT air hose.

Drain Valve
The drain valve is used to remove moisture from the air tank after the compressor is shut off.

Air Tank
The tank is where the compressed air is stored.
