Safety Valve; Duty Cycle - DeWalt DPC17PS-QS Instruction Manual

26. NEVER TOUCH HOT SURFACE To reduce the risk of
burns, do not touch tubes, heads, cylinder and motors.
27. DO NOT DIRECT AIR STREAM AT BODY Risk of injury,
do not direct air stream at persons or animals.
28. DRAIN TANK DAILY OR AFTER EACH USE. Open
the drain valve and tilt compressor to completely empty
accumulated water. Failure to properly drain tank may
result in excessive corrosion, which may cause sudden
air tank rupture or explosion.
29. DO NOT STOP COMPRESSOR BY PULLING OUT THE
PLUG Use the ON/OFF switch.
30. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED AIR HANDLING PARTS
ACCEPTABLE FOR PRESSURE NOT LESS THAN 13.8 BAR
(200 PSI) Risk of bursting. Use only recommended air
handling parts acceptable for pressures not less than
13.8 bar (200 psi).
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.
32. MAKE ALLOWANCE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS Never leave the compressor in the rain.
Never use the compressor in damp or wet conditions.
Provide good lighting. Never use the compressor near
combustible liquids or gases.
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.

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 DEWALT 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 DEWALT air compressor,
do not operate on more than the duty cycle indicated on
the technical data plate and in the Technical Data table.
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).
