water.
29. DO NOT STOP COMPRESSOR BY PULLING OUT THE PLUG Use the "AUTO/OFF" knob of pressure switch.
30. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED AIR HANDLING PARTS ACCEPTABLE FOR PRESSURE NOT LESS THAN 125 PSI (8.6
BAR) Risk of bursting. Use only recommended air handling parts acceptable for pressures not less than 125 psi ( 8.6
bar).
31. WEAR PROPER HEARING AND HEAD PROTECTION Suitable protective clothing must be worn when operating
the compressor and connected tool or accessory. Consult the tool / accessory manual and adhere to any safety
requirements.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

When servicing use only identical replacement parts. Repairs should be conducted only by authorized service center.

EXTENSION CORD

Use only three-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.

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 at 145 PSI and will not function unless tank pressure reaches this pressure.
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 BOSTITCH Service
Center.

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 BOSTITCH air compressor, do not operate on more than a 25% duty cycle. If this air
compressor pumps air more than 25% 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.
