Air Compressor Hazard Warnings (cont'd) Riskof Eyeor HeadInjury What could happen: • Air powered equipment and power tools are capable of propelling materials such as fasteners, metal chips, saw dust, and other debris at high speed, which could result in serious eye injury. • Compressed air can be hazardous. The air stream can cause injury to soft tissue areas such as eyes, oars, etc. Particles or objects propelled by the stream can cause injury.
Owner's Manual HazardWarnings (cont'd) Riskof Fire or Explosion What could happen: Abrasive tools such as sanders and grinders, rotating tools such as drills, and impact tools such as nailers, staplers, wrenches, hammers, and reciprocating saws are capable of generating sparks which could result in ignition of flammable materials. It is normal for the compressor motor and pressure switch to produce sparks while operating.
Air Compressor HazardWarnings(cont'd) Riskof HearingLoss What could happen: • Long term exposure to noise produced from the operation of air tools can lead to permanent hearing loss. How to prevent it: Always wear ANSI $3.19 hearing protection when using a compressor. Riskto Breathing/Inhalation Hazard What could happen: • Abrasive tools such as grinders, sanders, and cut-off tools generate dust and abrasive materials which can be harmful to human lungs and respiratory system.
Owner'sManual Hazard Warnings (cont'd) Riskof Injury What could happen: Tools left unattended, or with the air hose attached can be activated by unauthorized persons leading to their injury and/or injury to others. Air tools can propel fasteners or other materials throughout the work area. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of lhe tool increases the risk of personal injury. Using inflator nozzles for duster applications can cause serious injury.
Air Compressor HazardWarnings(cont'd) Riskof Injury(cont'd) How to prevent it: • Remove air hose when tool is not in use and store tool in secure location away from reach of children and or untrained users. • Use only parts, fasteners, and accessories recommended by the manufacturer. • Keep work area clean and free of clutter. Keep children and others away from work area during operation of the tool. • Keep work area well lit. • Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before turning the tool on.
Owner's Manual HazardWarnings(cont'd) Riskof Injury (cont'd) • Use only impact grade sockets on an impact wrench. • Do not apply excessive force to the tool. Let the tool perform the work. • Never point discharge of tool at self or others. • Do not pull trigger unless tool contact safety device is against work surface. Never attempt to drive fasteners into hard surfaces such as steel, concrete, or tile. Take care to avoid driving a fastener on top of another fastener.
Air Compressor HazardWarnings(cont'd) Riskof Electric Shock What could happen: • Using air tools to attach electrical wiring can result in electrocution or death. Improper electrical connections can result in fires,electrocution, or death. This tool is not provided with an insulated gripping surface. Contact with a "live" wire makes exposed metal tool parts I've, resulting in possible electrocution or death. • Fasteners coming in contact with hidden electrical wiring could cause electrocution or death.
Owner's Manual HazardWarnings (cont'd) Riskof Entanglement What could happen: Tools containing moving elements or driving other moving tools (grinding wheels, sockets, sanding discs, etc.) can become entangled in hair, clothing, jewelry, and other loose objects, resulting in injury. How to prevent it: • Never wear loose fitting clothes, or apparel which contains loose straps or ties, etc. which could become entangled in moving parts.

Owner'sManual Compressor(cont'd) BasicAir CompressorComponents Oilless air compressors are factory lubricated for life and do not require any oil. The basic components of the air compressor are the electric motor, pump, pressure switch, and tank. The electric motor (see A) powers the pump. The electric motor is equipped with an overload protector and an automatic reset. If the motor becomes overheated, the overload protector will shut it down to prevent damage to the motor.

Owner'sManual Compressor(cont'd) Compressor Controls • Power switch: This switch turns the compressor power ON and OFF. Pressure switch: This switch turns on the compressor. It is operated automatically when the power switch is in the ON position, it allows the compressor to start up or shut down automatically, without warning, upon air demand.
AirCompressor Compressor(cont'd) CompressorControls(cont'd) • Regulated pressure gauge: This gauge measures the regulated outlet pressure. • Regulated pressure quick connect coupler: This coupler connects to the regulated outlet pressure. To connect air hose, push coupler in. To disconnect air hose, pull the coupler collar back and separate the coupling.

Owner'sManual Compressor(cont'd) Maintenance(cont'd) Checkingthe Relief Valve Pull the relief valve daily to ensure that it is operating property and to clear the valve of any possible obstructions. Testingfor Leaks Check that all connections are tight. A small leak in any of the hoses or pipe connections will substantially reduce the performance of your air compressor. If you suspect a leak, spray a small amount of soapy water around the area of the suspected leak with a spray bottle.
AirCompressor Troubleshooting solutions. Note: Troubleshooting problems may have similar causes and Lowpressure,or notenoughair,or compressor doesnotstop • Tank petcock is open Close petcock • Prolonged excessive use of air Decrease amount of air used • Compressor not large enough Check air requirement of accessory. If it is higher than CFM and pressure supplied by compressor, you need a larger compressor. Most accessories are rated at 25% of actual CFM while running continuously.
Owner'sManual Troubleshooting(cont'd) Excessivestartingandstopping,while not in use • Fittings leak Check fittings with soapy water. Tighten or reseal leaking fittings. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Replace worn parts and reassemble with new seals. Replace any faulty seals. • Air leaks from regulator, or regulator does not regulate pressure Dirty or damaged regulator internal parts. Replace regulator or internal parts.
AirCompressor Troubleshooting(cont'd) Overheating • Poor ventilation Relocate compressor to an area with cool, dry and well-circulated air. • Dirty cooling surfaces • Leaking valve Clean all cooling surfaces of pump and motor thoroughly. Replace worn parts and reassemble with new seals. Motorstalls • Low voltage Furnish adequate power.
Owner'sManual Troubleshooting(cont'd) Motorwill not run(cont'd) • Fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped Replace blown fuse or reset circuit breaker. Do not use fuse or circuit breaker with higher rating than specified for your branch circuit. Check for proper fuse; "Fusetron" type T is acceptable. Check for low voltage and proper extension cord size. Disconnect other applications from circuit. Operate compressor on a dedicated circuit. • Check valve stuck open Remove and clean or replace.
