Key Parts; General Safety Warnings - Kyocera TJEP 17/15-2 Safety And Operation Instructions

Key parts

AIR COMPRESSOR PUMP: The pump compresses the air and discharges it into the tank via the piston
A
that moves up and down in the cylinder.
ELECTRIC MOTOR: The motor is used to power the pump. It is equipped with a thermal overload
B protector. If the motor overheats for any reason, the thermal overload protector will shut it down in order
to prevent the motor from being damaged.
SAFETY VALVE: This valve is used to prevent the compressor from building too much pressure. If the
C
pressure reaches the preset level in the tank, it will automatically pop open.
PRESSURE SWITCH: This switch turns on the compressor and is operated manually. When in the
ON position, it allows the compressor to start up or shut down automatically, without warning, upon air
D
demand. ALWAYS set this switch to OFF when the compressor is not being used and before unplugging
the compressor.
PRESSURE REGULATOR: The regulator is used to adjust the pressure inside the line to the tool that
E is being used. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease the
pressure.
TANK PRESSURE GAUGE: The gauge measures the pressure level of the air that is stored in the tank.
F
It cannot be adjusted by the operator and it does not indicate the pressure inside the line.
G OUTLET PRESSURE GAUGE: The gauge measures the regulated outlet pressure.
H QUICK COUPLER: The quick coupler is connected to a quick connector which is connecting to air hose.
DRAIN VALVE: The drain valve is used to remove moisture from the air tank after the compressor is
I
shut off.
J AIR TANK: The tank is where the compressed air is stored.
POWER CORD: This product is for use on a nominal 230-volt circuit and should be grounded. A cord
with a grounding plug must be used. Make sure that the product is connected to an grounded outlet that
has the same configuration as the plug (see Fig. A). No adapter should be used with this product. Check
K
with a licensed electrician if the grounding instructions are not understood or there is doubt as to whether
the product is properly grounded. If the plug does not fit the outlet, have a proper grounded plug installed
by a licensed electrician.
!
DANGER:
Improper installation of the grounding plug will result in
a risk of electric shock. If repair or replacement of the
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the ground-
ing wire to either flat blade terminal. The outer surface
of grounding wire is mixed with yellow and green.

General safety warnings

read and understand this instruction manual
for safety, operation and maintenance instructions.
!
WARNING:
• Risk of fire caused by sparks from motor and pres-
sure switch could result in death or serious injury.
• Do not operate compressor near flammable gas
or vapor. Never store flammable liquids or gas in
vicinity of compressor.
• High pressure air could result in death or serious
injury. Shut off unit, unplug and release air pressure
Parts description - see drawing on page 7
prior to servicing.
• Never operate above maximum operating pressure
of the nailer/stapler.
• Drain water from tank after each use.
• Do not weld or repair tank.
• Do not operate with pressure switch or safety valve
set above maximum allowable working pressure.
• Hot compressors surfaces could result in serious
injury. Allow compressor to cool before touching.
• Using compressor to supply breathing air could
result in death or serious injury.
• Do not spray flammable materials in vicinity of any
flame or ignition sources including the compressor.
• Do not restrict compressor ventilation openings or
place objects against or on top of the compressor
• Operate compressor only in a clean, dry, well
ventilated area.
• Do not operate unattended. Always turn off and
unplug the compressor when not in use.
• Risk of serious eye injury from moisture and
