How To Use Your Air Compressor; Tire Gauge - Craftsman 107.10265 El Manual Del Propietario

HOW TO USE YOUR AIR COMPRESSOR
See figures 5 - 6.
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.
Ensure the tank drain valve is closed (see fig. 5).
Ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF (O) position and the
air compressor is unplugged (see fig. 5).
Ensure the pressure regulator knob is turned fully
counterclockwise (see fig. 5).

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.
Connect the power cord to the power supply.
Turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON (I) position.
Rotate the pressure regulator knob to the desired line
pressure. Turning the knob clockwise increases air pressure
at the outlet; turning the knob counterclockwise reduces air
pressure at the outlet.
NOTE: Before connecting or disconnecting air tools, turn the
regulator knob counterclockwise to stop the flow of air.
Following all safety precautions in this manual and the
manufacturer's instructions in the air tool manual. You may
now use your air-powered tool.
If using an inflation accessory with a quick-connect fitting,
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
Check the air tool manual to insure the
correct air pressure regulator setting for optimum operation of
your air tools. If you are using an air tool not originally included
with the air tool kit supplied with this air compressor, your tool
may require more air consumption than this air compressor is
designed to supply.
Always read your air tool owner's manual to match the correct
air supply to your air tool to avoid damage to the tool or risk of
personal injury.
NOTE: Do not exceed 50% duty cycle - 5 minutes ON and 5
minutes OFF.
TIRE GAUGE
(see figure 7)
Operating instructions:
1. Press gauge firmly onto valve stem.
2. Read PSI on indicator bar.
3. Adjust pressure to manufacturer's specifications.
4. Push indicator bar back into gauge.
Always keep your tires inflated to manufacturer's
recommended pressure.
Check pressure when tire is cold.
Proper inflation helps prevent blowouts, increases gas mileage
and prolongs tire life.
