SAFETY INFORMATION
Risk of burns. The pump and manifold generate high temperatures. To avoid burns or
other injuries, do not touch the pump, manifold or transfer tube while the unit is running.
Allow the parts to cool before handling or servicing. Keep children away from the
compressor at all times.
Risk to breathing. Read all labels when you are spraying paints or toxic materials, and
follow the safety instructions. Use a respirator mask if there is a chance of inhaling
anything you are spraying. Never directly inhale the compressed air produced by a
compressor.
Risk of eye injury. Always wear ANSI 287.1 approved safety goggles when using an air
compressor. Never point the nozzle or sprayer toward a person or any part of the body.
If the spray penetrates the skin, serious injury may occur.
Never exceed the maximum working pressure of the tool.
Never attempt to open the drain valve when the tank pressure is more than 10 PSI.
You can create dust when you cut, sand, drill or grind materials such as wood, paint,
metal, concrete, cement, or other masonry. This dust often contains chemicals known
to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Wear protective gear.
CAUTION
Pull the pressure relief valve ring daily to ensure the valve is functioning properly.
The unit must be kept a minimum of 12 in. from the nearest wall, in a well-ventilated area
for cooling.
Protect the air hose and electric cord from damage and puncture. Inspect them weekly for
weak or worn spots and replace if necessary.
Always wear hearing protection when using an air compressor. Failure to do so may result
in hearing loss.
Operation of the unit should always be in a position that is stable. Never use the unit on
a rooftop or elevated position that could allow the unit to fall or be tipped over.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preparing for Startup
WARNING
Risk of bursting. Too much air pressure causes
a hazardous risk of bursting. Check the
manufacturer's maximum pressure rating for air
tools and accessories. The regulator outlet
pressure must never exceed the maximum
pressure rating.
a. Set the ON/OFF switch (I) to the O (off)
position.
b. Turn the air pressure regulator (D) counter
clockwise until it stops.
c. Attach air hose/accessories or air tools (not
included) to the quick coupler (F).
2. Starting up the Compressor
WARNING
High temperatures are generated by the electric
motor and the pump. To prevent burns or other
injuries, DO NOT touch the compressor while it
is running. Allow it to cool before handling or
servicing.
Keep children away from the compressor at all
times.
WARNING
When adjusting from a higher to a lower
pressure, turn the knob counterclockwise past
the desired setting. Then turn clockwise to reach
the desired pressure.
Do not exceed operating pressure of the tool or
accessory being used.
a. Close the tank drain valve (G) by turning
clockwise.
b. Plug in the power cord (J).
c. Set the ON/OFF switch (I) to the I (on) position
and allow tank pressure to build. Motor will
stop when tank pressure reaches "cut-out"
pressure.
d. Turn the air pressure regulator (D) clockwise
until desired pressure is reached.
e. The compressor is ready for use.
