OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Breaking in the pump
WARNING:
Always ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF (O)
position and the regulator pressure gauge reads
zero before changing air tools or disconnecting the
hose from the air outlet. Failure to do so could result
in possible serious personal injury.
• Connect air powered tools (not included) to the air
hose by inserting the male quick-connect plug to
the quick-coupler at the end of the hose (see
Fig. 7).
• Connect the power cord to the power supply.
• Turn the ON/OFF switch (C) to the ON (I)
position.

• Rotate the pressure regulator knob (D) to the desired line pressure. Turning the knob clockwise
increases air pressure at the outlet; turning the knob counterclockwise reduces air pressure at the
outlet.
• NOTE: Before connecting or disconnecting air tools, turn the regulator knob (D) counterclockwise to
stop the ow of air.
• Following all safety precautions in this manual and the manufacturer’s instructions in the air tool
manual, you may now use your air-powered tool.
• If using an ination accessory with a quick-connect tting, control the amount of air ow with the
pressure regulator knob. Turning the knob fully counterclockwise will completely stop the ow of air.
NOTE: Always use the minimum amount of pressure necessary for your application. Using a higher
pressure than needed will drain air from the tank more rapidly and cause the unit to cycle on more
frequently.
• When nished, always drain the tank and unplug the unit. Never leave the unit plugged in and/or
running unattended.
WARNING:
Check the air tool manual to ensure the correct air pressure regulator setting for optimum operation
of your air tools. If you are using an air tool not originally included in the package contents list (not
necessarily supplied with the air compressor model you have purchased), your tool may require more
air consumption than this air compressor is designed to supply.
Always read your air tool owner’s manual to match the correct air supply to your air tool to avoid
damage to the tool or risk of personal injury.
