ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start-up can causeinjury.
How To Set Up Your Unit
Unpacking
Remove unit from carton and discard allpackaging.
Location of the Air Compressor
• Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well
ventilatedarea.
• The air compressor should be located at least 12"
(30.5 cm) away from the wall or other obstructions that
will interfere with the flow ofair.
• 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.
OPERATION

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start-up can causeinjury.
Installing and Removing the Battery Pack
(Fig. D)
NOTE: For best results, make sure your battery pack is
fullycharged.
To install the battery pack
2
into the tool handle, align the
battery pack with the rails inside the tool’s handle and slide
it into the handle until the battery pack is firmly seated in
the tool and ensure that it does notdisengage.
To remove the battery pack from the tool, press the release
button
3
and firmly pull the battery pack out of the tool
handle. Insert it into the charger as described in the charger
section of thismanual.

Know Your Air Compressor
READ THIS OWNER’S MANUAL AND SAFETY RULES BEFORE
OPERATING YOUR UNIT. Compare the illustrations with
your unit to familiarize yourself with the location of
various controls and adjustments. Save this manual for
futurereference.
Description of Operation (Fig. A)
Become familiar with these controls before operating
theunit.
Auto On(I)/Off(O) Switch
1
: Place this switch in the
"AutoOn" position to provide automatic power to the
pressure switch and "Off" to remove power at the end of
eachuse.
Pressure Switch (not shown): The pressure switch
automatically starts the motor when the air tank pressure
drops below the factory set "cut-in" pressure. It stops the
motor when the air tank pressure reaches the factory set
"cut-out"pressure.
Safety Valve
4
: If the pressure switch does not shut off the
air compressor at its "cut-out" pressure setting, the safety
valve will protect against high pressure by "popping out"
at its factory set pressure (slightly higher than the pressure
switch "cut-out" setting).
Tank Pressure Gauge
5
: The tank pressure gauge
indicates the reserve air pressure in thetank.
One-Turn Regulator
6
: Controls the air pressure available
at the quick-connect outlet. Turn regulator clockwise to
increase pressure or counterclockwise to decrease pressure.
Stop when indicator matches with desired outlet pressure.
Cooling System (not shown): This compressor contains
an advanced design cooling system. At the heart of this
cooling system is an engineered fan. It is perfectly normal
for this fan to blow air through the vent holes in large
amounts. You know that the cooling system is working
when air is beingexpelled.
Air Compressor Pump (not shown): Compresses air into
the air tank. Working air is not available until the compressor
has raised the air tank pressure above that required at the
airoutlet.
Drain Valve
7
: The drain valve is located at the base of
the air tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of
eachuse.
Check Valve
8
: When the air compressor is operating,
the check valve is "open", allowing compressed air to enter
the air tank. When the air compressor reaches "cut-out"
pressure, the check valve "closes", allowing air pressure to
remain inside the airtank.
Motor Overload Protector (not shown): The motor has
a thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats for any
reason, the overload protector will shut off the motor. The
motor must be allowed to cool down before restarting. To
restart:
1. Set the Auto On/Off switch to "Off".
2. Remove thebattery.
3. Allow the motor tocool.
4. Replace thebattery.
