• Charge indoors only. Do not expose charger to water or any other liquid.
• Do not clean this unit with a water spray or the like.
• Use only the adapters supplied with this unit to charge the unit.
• When an extension cord is used:
– The marked rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of this unit.
– The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over, snagged, or
pulled on unintentionally (especially by children).
– The extension cord should be kept dry and off the ground.
• Disconnect the unit from any power source before attempting maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls without disconnecting will
not reduce this risk.
• When charging the unit using an external DC power source, make sure the voltage is rated at 12 volts DC. The unit will not operate
from a 6 volt power source and will sustain permanent damage if connected to a 24 volt power source.
• NEVER connect this unit to a positive grounded vehicle using the 12V DC Charging Adapter

CAUTION – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE: Pull by connector rather than cord when disconnecting the 120V AC
Charging Adapter from an AC outlet.
WARNING: The 12V DC Charging Adapter is intended for charging the unit battery only; attempting to use the 12V DC
Charging Adapter as power source for the unit may cause it to overheat, causing property damage and injury to persons.
WARNING: Never attempt to use the AC and DC charging methods at the same time.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPRESSORS
WARNING – BURST HAZARD:
• Carefully follow instructions on articles to be inflated.
• Never exceed recommended pressures. Bursting articles can cause serious injury.
• Always monitor the pressure on the LCD screen.
CAUTION – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:
• Never leave the compressor unattended while in use.
• Do not operate the compressor at pressures greater than 120 PSI; and do not operate the compressor continuously at 120 PSI for longer
than approximately 3 minutes. Follow the instructions in the "Using the Portable Compressor" section.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing your new Stanley ® Hand-held Rechargeable Digital Air Compressor with LED Work Light
Instruction Manual and follow the instructions carefully before using this unit.
CHARGING/RECHARGING
Lead-acid batteries require routine maintenance to ensure a full charge and long battery life. All batteries lose energy from self-discharge
over time and more rapidly at higher temperatures. Therefore, batteries need periodic charging to replace energy lost through self-
discharge. When the unit is not in frequent use, manufacturer recommends the battery be recharged at least every 30 days.
Before each use, check the unit's battery status on the LCD Screen:
• Four solid bars on the battery icon indicate a full battery. The unit is ready to use.
• Only one or two solid bars on the battery icon indicates that the unit's battery charge level is low. In this case, the battery SHOULD be
recharged before use or the built-in low-voltage protection may activate (the empty battery icon will flash for a short period before
automatic shut-down). If the unit shuts down, it MUST be recharged immediately.
• An empty battery icon indicates the battery MUST be recharged immediately.
Notes:
This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it upon purchase and before using it for the first time. Initial AC charge should
be for 10 hours or until the battery icon shows 4 solid bars.
Recharging the battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent heavy discharges between recharges and/or overcharging will reduce battery
life. The battery must be recharged using the 120V AC Charging Adapter.
Make sure all other unit functions are turned off during recharging, as this can slow the recharging process.
The time required to fully recharge the built-in battery depends on the charge status after use. Approximate recharging time is 10 hours.
CAUTION: RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE:
• Failure to keep the battery charged will cause permanent damage and may result in poor performance.
• Overcharging will reduce battery life. Do not overcharge:
– Never charge for longer than 10 hours using the 120V AC Charging Adapter.
– Never charge for longer than 5 hours using the 12V DC Charging Adapter.
Charging the Unit Using the 120V AC Charging Adapter (recommended)
IMPORTANT: The unit cannot be operated while charging using the AC Charging Adapter.
1. Make sure the 12V DC Charging Adapter is disconnected.
2. Insert the barrel connector of the 120V AC Charging Adapter into the 120V AC Charging Port on the back of the unit. Plug the 120V
AC Charging Adapter into a (powered) standard North American 120 volt 60Hz outlet. When the unit is properly connected to an AC
power source, the LCD Screen will display the following:
The bars on the Battery Icon represent the charge level of the unit's internal battery. The bars on the Battery Icon will change from
empty to solid (from bottom to top) repeatedly to indicate that the unit is charging. The backlight will turn on for 10 seconds (only).
3. Charge for approximately 10 hours or until the battery icon shows 4 solid bars. Do not overcharge.
4. Disconnect the AC Charging Adapter from the unit and the 120V AC power source when not in use.
