ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY! ALL ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS MUST BE DONE WITH THE COMPRESSOR DISCONNECTED FROM THE
POWER SOURCE. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY!
POWER SUPPLY
WARNING: YOUR COMPRESSOR MUST BE CONNECTED TO A 120V
WALL OUTLET, WITH A MINIMUM 15-AMP. BRANCH CIRCUIT AND
USE A 15-AMP TIME DELAY FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER. FAILURE
TO CONNECT IN THIS WAY CAN RESULT IN INJURY FROM SHOCK
OR FIRE.
GROUNDING
Your compressor must be properly grounded. Not all outlets are properly
grounded. If you are not sure if your outlet is properly grounded, have it
checked by a qualified electrician.
WARNING: IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED, THIS COMPRESSOR
CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PARTICULARLY WHEN USED IN
DAMP LOCATIONS. TO AVOID SHOCK OR FIRE, IF THE POWER CORD
IS WORN OR DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, HAVE IT REPLACED
IMMEDIATELY.
If this compressor should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current, to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This compressor is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into
an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: TO MAINTAIN PROPER GROUNDING, DO NOT REMOVE OR
ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER.
120V OPERATION
As received from the factory, your compressor is ready to run for 120V
operation. This machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
and a plug which looks like the one illustrated in Fig.1.
WARNING: DO NOT USE A TWO-PRONG ADAPTOR(S) FOR THEY ARE
NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES AND ORDINANCES.
NEVER USE IN CANADA.
WARNING
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. IT
IS RECOMMENDED TO USE A LONGER AIR HOSE INSTEAD
OF AN EXTENSION CORD. If you do not have a choice, use the
table in Fig.2 to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G-
American Wire Gauge) extension cord needed. Use only 3-wire
extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and
3-hole receptacles which accept the tool's plug.
For circuits that are further away from the electrical circuit box, the
wire size must be increased proportionately in order to deliver
ample voltage to the air compressor motor. Refer to Fig.2 for wire
length and size.
