GLOSSARY
AirFilter
Porous element contained within a metal or plastic housing
attached to the compressor cylinder head which removes
impurity from the intake air of the compressor.
AirTank
Cylindrical component which contains the compressed air.
CheckValve
Device that prevents compressed air from owing back from the
air tank to the compressor pump.
Cut-InPressure
The low pressure at which the motor will automatically restart.
This compressor cut-in pressure is 105 ± 5 PSI.
Cut-OffPressure
The high pressure at which the motor will automatically shut off.
This compressor cut-off pressure is 135 ± 5 PSI.
Electric Motor
Device which provides the rotational force necessary to operate
the compressor pump.
On/Off Power Switch
Control which turns the air compressor on or off. The pressure
switch will not automatically start and control the compressor
unless the manual on/off switch is in the ON ( l ) position.
NPT(NationalPipeThread)
National Pipe Thread is a U.S. standard for tapered (NPT) or
straight (NPS) threads used to join pipes and ttings.
A thread sealing tape must be used to provide a leak-free seal on
pipe threaded connections.
PressureRegulatorKnob
Regulates the outgoing pressure from the air outlet to the tool. It
is possible to increase or decrease the pressure at the outlet by
adjusting this control knob.
Pressure Switch
Automatically controls the on/off cycling of the compressor. It
stops the compressor when the cut-off pressure in the tank is
reached and starts the compressor when the air pressure drops
below the cut-in pressure.
PSI(PoundsPerSquareInch)
Measurement of the pressure exerted by the force of the air. The
actual psi is measured by a pressure gauge on the compressor.
Pump
Produces the compressed air with a reciprocating piston
contained within the cylinder.
RegulatorPressureGauge(Outletpressure)
Displays the current line pressure. Line pressure is adjusted by
rotating the pressure regulator knob.
SafetyValve
Prevents air pressure in the air tank from rising over a
predetermined limit.
SCFM(StandardCubicFeetPerMinute)
A unit of measure of air delivery.
L/min(LiterPerMinute)
A unit of measure of air delivery.
TankPressureGauge
Indicates the pressure in the air tank.
ThermalOverloadSwitch
Automatically shuts off the compressor if the temperature of the
electric motor exceeds a predetermined limit.
DutyCycle
Duty Cycle refers to a percentage of time which the air
compressor can run continuously while performing a task before
needing to rest or cool down. Example: A 50% duty Cycle
compressor must rest for 5 minutes after running continuously for
5 minutes.
UNPACKING
This product has been shipped completely assembled.
Carefully remove the compressor from the box. Make sure
that all items listed in the packing list are included.
Inspect the compressor carefully to make sure no breakage
or damage occurred during shipping.
Do not discard the packing material until you have carefully
inspected and satisfactorily operated the tool.
If any parts are missing do not operate the
compressor or air tools until the missing parts are replaced.
Failure to do so could result in possible serious personal
injury.
Do not attempt to modify this tool or create
accessories not recommended for use with this tool. Any
such alteration or modication is misuse and could result in
a hazardous condition leading to possible serious personal
injury.
