ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: (continued)
DUTY CYCLE:
To ensure long life of your BOSTITCH air compressor, do not operate on more than a 50% duty
cycle. If this air compressor pumps air more than 50% of one hour, then the compressor's
capability is less than the air delivery required by the application. Always match the air
volume requirements of the attachment or accessory with the air volume delivery of the
compressor.
Notice!: BOSTITCH does not recommend the use of extension cords with compressors. The
use of an extension cord can result in the loss of voltage supplied to the compressor which
could prevent the compressor from starting. For optimum performance, plug the compressor
directly into an outlet and increase the length of airline as needed.
If an extension cord must be used, use these guidelines:
Distance Needed
Less than 25 ft.
25 - 50 ft.
Greater than 50 ft.
Recommended Gauge
