To Adjust Regulator:
Turn knob clockwise to increase regulated pressure and
counterclockwise to decrease regulated pressure.
WARNING: Risk of Bursting. Too much air pressure causes
a hazardous risk of bursting. Check the manufacturer's
maximum pressure rating for air tools and accessories.
The regulator outlet pressure must never exceed the maximum
pressure rating.

AIR COMPRESSOR PUMP

The pump compresses air into the air tank. Working air is not available
until the compressor has raised the air tank pressure above that
required at the air outlet.

MOTOR OVERLOAD PROTECTOR

The motor has a thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats for
any reason, the overload protector will shut off the motor. The motor
must be allowed to cool down before restarting. To restart:
1. Set the Auto/Off switch to "Off (O)" and unplug unit.
2. Allow the motor to cool.
3. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle.
4. Set the Auto/Off switch to "Auto (-)".

INSTALLATION

Assembly (Fig. 1)
Unpack the air compressor. Inspect the unit for damage. If the
unit has been damaged in transit, contact the carrier and
complete a damage claim. Do this immediately because there are
time limitations to damage claims.
The carton should contain:
Air compressor, air filters, wheels with mounting hardware
and front isolators with hardware
Operator and parts manuals
Check the compressor's serial label to ensure that you have
received the model ordered, and that it has the required pressure
rating for its intended use.

1. Lay unit handle side down on flat, smooth surface.
2. Insert the bolt through the wheel and bracket as shown in

To stop the air pressure release from the valve when the DeWalt DXCMSAC260 shuts off, follow these steps:

1. Inspect for Leaks – Visually check air lines and fittings for any leaks.
2. Check the Safety Valve – Manually operate the safety valve by pulling on the ring. If it continues to leak, replace it.
3. Ensure Proper Shut-Off – Turn the Auto/Off switch to the "Off (O)" position.
4. Verify the Drain Valve – Ensure the drain valve is fully closed.
5. Check for Excessive Air Usage – Reduce air consumption if the compressor is overused.
6. Inspect the Hose – Look for any holes or damage in the hose and replace it if necessary.
7. Clean or Replace the Air Filter – If the intake filter is clogged, clean or replace it.

If the issue persists, contact a DeWalt service center.
