The Blackridge BRC95 is a portable air compressor designed for general light-duty tasks around the home. It is not recommended for commercial use, continuous running, or for use with a spray gun. The compressor is suitable for various light-duty air tools such as ball inflators, toy inflators, tire inflators, mini air brushes, touch-up spray cans, staplers, combo nailers, C-bradders, and T-nailers.
The BRC95 compressor requires minor assembly before initial operation, including fitting the oil breather, rubber stoppers, wheels, and air filter. It is crucial to ensure the compressor is fully assembled before use to avoid voiding the warranty and potential personal injury.
Before operating, the transport plug must be removed and replaced with the oil breather. The oil level should always be checked before use, ensuring it is above the red dot on the sight glass. The compressor is pre-filled with SAE30 oil. To check the oil level, the compressor should be on flat, level ground. For confirmation, the back (wheel end) should be lifted approximately 20cm, held for about 1 minute, and then placed back on the ground. If additional oil is required, SAE30 oil should be added to the top of the red dot on the sight glass. Overfilling or underfilling with oil should be avoided.
The compressor must be plugged directly into a standard 240V AC power point; extension cords are not recommended due to potential voltage drop, power loss, and overheating. The compressor is started by lifting the red ON/OFF button on the pressure switch and stopped by pushing it down. The power point switch should never be used to operate the compressor.
A running-in procedure is required for new compressors:
Before each use, follow a simple checklist:
The outlet air pressure is adjusted using the red regulator knob and monitored via the outlet pressure gauge. Turn anti-clockwise to lower pressure and clockwise to increase it. Always check the tool manufacturer's recommended working pressure.
The safety valve should be checked regularly. With the air tank full, gently pull the ring outwards to release air under pressure. Releasing the ring should stop the airflow immediately. If the safety valve malfunctions, the compressor must be stopped and serviced by an authorized center.
The air tap controls the airflow to attached tools. Rotate the handle to align with the fittings and hose to open, and rotate 90° to close.
After use, the drain tap should be opened to drain excess air and moisture. Pull the lever down to vertical to open and push it up to horizontal to seal. The drain tap should be left open when storing the compressor to allow moisture to drain. Remember to seal the drain tap before starting the compressor.
