Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit.
NOTE: Use longer air hoses
instead of long extension cords.
Your air compressor will run
better and last longer.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
(ELECTRICAL CONNECTION)
1. This air compressor is powered by a
precision built electric motor. It should
be connected to a power supply that
is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal
household current).
2. Do not operate this tool on direct
current (DC). A substantial voltage
drop will cause a loss of power and
the motor will overheat. If the air
compressor does not operate when
plugged into an outlet, double check the
power supply.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY (SPEED AND WIRING)

1. The no-load speed of the electric motor
varies by model and speci cation.
The motor speed is not constant and
decreases under a load or with lower
voltage. For voltage, the wiring in a
shop is as important as the motor's
horsepower rating.
2. A line intended only for lights cannot
properly carry a power tool motor.
Wire that is heavy enough for a short
distance will be too light for a greater
distance. A line that can support one
power tool may not be able to support
two or three tools.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
(GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS)

grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for
the electric current. This air compressor is
equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: Improper installation
of the grounding plug is able to
result in a risk of electric shock.
When repair or replacement of
the cord or plug is required, do
not connect the grounding wire
to either at blade terminal. The
wire with insulation having an
outer surface that is green with
or without yellow stripes is the
grounding wire.
Check with a quali ed electrician
or serviceman when the grounding
instructions are not completely
understood, or when in doubt as
to whether the product is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided. If it does not t the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a
quali ed electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal
120-V circuit and has a grounding plug
illustrated in Figure 1. Only connect the
product to an outlet having the same
con guration as the plug. Do not use an
adapter with this product.
