Installation - DeWalt DPC10QTC-QS Original Instructions Manual

33. DO NOT OPERATE IN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES,
SUCH AS IN THE PRESENCE OF FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS,
GASES OR DUST. Compressors can create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
When servicing use only identical replacement parts. Repairs
should be conducted only by authorized service centre.
EXTENSION CORD
Use only three-wire extension cords that have three-prong
grounding type plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept
the compressor's plug. Replace or repair damaged cord.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. Table shows the correct size to use depending
on cord length and name plate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.

m WARNING: Avoid electrical shock hazard. Never use
this compressor with a damaged or frayed electrical cord or
extension cord. Inspect all electrical cords regularly. Never
use in near water or in any environment where electric shock
is possible.
SAFETY VALVE
This compressor is equipped with a safety valve that is set to
avoid over-pressurization of the air tanks. This valve is factory
pre-set and will not function unless tank pressure reaches
this pressure.
m WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST OR
ELIMINATE THIS SAFETY DEVICE. ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO
THIS VALVE COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. If this device
requires service or maintenance, see an Authorized D
Service Centre.
Attachments and Accessories:
For any attachment or accessory you will be using with this
compressor, the maximum allowable recommended pressure
should be clearly marked on the product or should be clearly
noted within the operations manual. Exceeding the pressure
rating of these attachments (including, but not limited to: air

tools, air operated accessories, spray guns, air hose, air hose
connections, tires and other inflatables) could cause them to
fly apart or explode and could result in serious injury.
• Never exceed the maximum allowable pressure
recommended by the manufacturer of any attachment or
accessory you use with this compressor.
DUTY CYCLE:
To ensure long life of your D
not operate on more than the duty cycle indicated on the
technical data plate. If, for example, this air compressor
pumps air more than 50% of one hour, then the
compressor's capability is less than the air delivery required
by the application. Always match the air volume requirements
of the attachment or accessory with the air volume delivery of
the compressor.
To avoid overheating of the electric motor, this compressor
is designed for intermittent operation as indicated on the
technical dataplate (for example, S3-25 means 2.5 minutes
ON, 7.5 minutes OFF).

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE: The information contained in this Instruction Manual is
2
designed to assist you in the safe operation and maintenance
of the compressor. Some illustrations in this Instruction
Manual may show details or attachments that differ from
those on your own compressor.

INSTALLATION

Remove the compressor from its packing, make sure it is
in perfect condition, checking if it was damaged during
transport, and carry out the following operations:
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
Single-phase compressors are supplied with an electrical
cable and a two-pole & earth plug. The compressor must be
connected to a grounded power socket.
WALT
IMPORTANT: Never use the ground socket instead of the
neutral wire. The ground connection must be made to meet
safety standards (EN 60204). The plug of the power cable
must not be used as a switch, but must be fitted in a power
socket controlled by a suitable differential switch (thermal
breaker).
m DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. IMPROPER
GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
