Glossary
Become familiar with these terms before operating the unit.
CFM: Cubic feet per minute.
sCFM: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of
air delivery.
Psig: Pounds per square inch gauge; a unit of measure
of pressure.
Code Certification: Products that bear one or more of
the following marks: UL®, CUL, CULUS, ETL®, CETL, CETLUS,
have been evaluated by OSHA certified independent safety
laboratories and meet the applicable Standards for Safety.
Cut-in Pressure: While the motor is off, air tank pressure
drops as you continue to use your accessory. When the
tank pressure drops to a certain lower level the motor will
restart automatically. The low pressure at which the motor
automatically restarts is called "cut-in" pressure.
Cut-Out Pressure: When an air compressor is turned on
and begins to run, air pressure in the air tank begins to
build. It builds to a certain high pressure before the motor
automatically shuts off, protecting your air tank from
pressure higher than its capacity. The high pressure at which
the motor shuts off is called "cut-out" pressure.
Branch Circuit: Circuit carrying electricity from electrical
panel to outlet.
Duty Cycle
This air compressor pump is capable of running
continuously. However, to prolong the life of your air
compressor, it is recommended that a 50%-75% average
duty cycle be maintained; that is, the air compressor pump
should not run more than 30–45 minutes in any given hour.
