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 a certain lower level
the motor will restart automatically. The low pressure at which the motor auto-
matically restarts is called "cut-in" pressure.
Cut-Out Pressure: When an air compressor is turned on and begins to run, air
pressure in the air tank begins to build. It builds to a certain high pressure
before the motor automatically shuts off, protecting your air tank from pres-
sure higher than its capacity. The high pressure at which the motor shuts off
is called "cut-out" pressure.
Branch Circuit: Circuit carrying electricity from electrical panel to outlet.

DUTY CYCLE

This air compressor pump is capable of running continuously. However, to
prolong the life of your air compressor, it is recommended that a 50%-75%
average duty cycle be maintained; that is, the air compressor pump should
not run more than 30-45 minutes in any given hour.
ACCESSORIES
Accessories for this unit are available at the store the unit was purchased.
The use of any other accessory not recommended for use with this tool
