installation & grounding Installation and Location The compressor must be used on a stable level surface. The air compressor must be used in a clean and well-ventilated area. The compressor requires an unobstructed airflow and must be located a minimum of 18 inches from any walls or other obstructions. Grounding Instructions This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
installation & grounding Extension Cords We do not recommend the use on an extension cord with this product as this may result in the loss of power and overheating of the motor. An additional air hose should be used instead of an extension cord. However, if the use of an extension cord is unavoidable, use only UL listed wire extension cords that have three-pronged grounding type plugs and three prong receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
