GLOSSARY
SCFM
or
CFM:
Standard Cubic Feet per Minute; a unit of
measurement of air delivery.
PSlG
or
PSI:
Pounds per square inch gauge.
CUT-IN
PRESSURE:
While the motor is
off,
air tank
pressure drops as you continue to use your accessory.
When the tank pressure drops to approximately
100
PSI
the motor will restart automatically. The low pressure at
which the motor automatically re-starts is called "cut-in
pressure."
CUT-OUT PRESSURE:
When you turn on your air com-
pressor and it begins to run, air pressure in the air tank
begins to build. It builds to to approximately
125
PSI
before
the motor automatically shuts
off
.The high pressure at
which the motor shuts
off
is called "cut-out pressure."
DUN
CYCLE
This air compressor's optimum life may be achieved by operating the unit at a
50
% duty cycle, or less.
A
50%
duty cycle is considered
to
be
30
minutes of 'run time' in any
1
hour time period.
Should the unit operate at a greater than a
50%
duty cycle, then the compressor may be undersized for the
required job demand and continued operation above a
50%
duty cycle may constitute misuse of the product.
STORAGE
When
you
have finished using the air compressor:
3. Protecttheelectrical cord and air hose from damage by
winding them loosely around the air compressor.
1.
Setthe"0NIOFF" switch to"0FF"and unplug the cord.

air hose by opening the regulator.
4.
