Preparation For Use - DeWalt D55141 Manual De Instrucciones

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.
Compatibility
Air tools and accessories that are run off the compressor must be
compatible with petroleum-based products. If you suspect that a
material is not compatible with petroleum products, an air line filter
for removal of moisture and oil vapor in compressed air is required.
nOte: Always use an air line filter to remove moisture and oil vapor
when spraying paint.
Location
Place the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area
at least 12" (30.5 cm) away from the wall or other obstructions that
will interfere with the flow of air. Keep the compressor away from
areas that have dirt and/or volatile fumes in the atmosphere. These
impurities may clog the intake filter and valves, causing inefficient
operation.
WARNING: The air compressor pump and shroud are designed to
allow for proper cooling. The ventilation openings on the compressor
are necessary to maintain proper operating temperature. Do not
place rags or other containers on or near these openings.
Place the air compressor on a flat surface resting on the rubber
feet.
