Anleitung Zusammenfassung
2. NOTE: Photographs and line drawings used in this manual are for reference only and do not represent a specific model. 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, ETL, CETL, have been evaluated by OSHA certified independent safety laboratories and meet the applicable Underwriters Laboratories Standards for Safety. Branch Circuit: Circuit carrying electricity from electrical panel to outlet. DUTY CYCLE Air compressors should be operated on not more than a 50% duty cycle. This means an air compressor that pumps air more than 50% of one hour is considered misuse, because the air compressor is undersized for the required air demand. Maximum compressor pumping time per hour is 30 minutes. ACCESSORIES Accessories for this unit are available at the store the unit was purchased. 7- ENG D26675 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. In the event of a short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This air compressor must be properly grounded. The portable air compressor is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug (see following illustrations). The plug must be used with an outlet that has been installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. 1. The cord set and plug with this unit contains a grounding pin. This plug MUST be used with a grounded outlet. IMPORTANT: The outlet being used must be installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. 2. Make sure the outlet being used has the same configuration as the grounded plug. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER. See illustration. 3. Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there are HOW TO SET UP YOUR UNIT Grounded Outlets Plug INSTALLATION Location of the Air Compressor Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area. 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.

If these grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the compressor is properly grounded, have the installation checked by a qualified electrician. IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Do not modify the plug provided. If it does not fit the available outlet, a correct outlet should be installed by a qualified electrician. Repairs to the cord set or plug MUST be made by a qualified electrician. D26675 8- ENG Extension Cords Using extension cords is not recommended. The use of extension cords will cause voltage to drop resulting in power loss to the motor and overheating. Instead of using an extension cord, increase the working reach of the air hose by attaching another length of hose to its end. Attach additional lengths of hose as needed. If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is: • a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product • in good condition • no longer than 50 feet • 14 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as gauge number decreases. 12 AWG, 10 AWG, and 8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT USE 16 OR 18 AWG.) Voltage and Circuit Protection Refer to the Parts Manual for the voltage and minimum branch circuit requirements. Certain air compressors can be operated on a 15 amp circuit if the following conditions are met. 1. Voltage supply is 108V-132V AC at the outlet. 2. Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs (lights, appliances, etc.). 3. Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp circuit breaker minimum or 15 amp time delay fuse. NOTE: If compressor is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use only time delay fuses marked “D” for Canada and "T" for US. 4. Extension cords comply with specifications. 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. 9- ENG D26675 OPERATION Know Your Air Compressor READ THIS OWNER’S MANUAL AND SAFETY RULES BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT.
