Maintenance - Klutch 1230080 Owner's Manual

Adjusting the Air Pressure
Your Air Compressor is supplied with an Air Pressure Regulator. This Regulator adjusts the air pressure.
• To increase air pressure, turn Air Regulator clockwise.
• To decrease air pressure, turn Air Regulator
counterclockwise.
(See Figure 5)
Cold Weather Starting
Temperatures below freezing (32°F) cause the
metal parts of your Air Compressor to contract and
that makes starting more difficult. To assist the Air
Compressor in starting in cold weather, follow
these tips:
1. Try to keep Air Compressor stored in temperatures above 32° fahrenheit.
2. Open the Air Tank Drain Valve and release all air pressure from the Air Tank before attempting to start in cold
weather. (After air is released)
3. Plug Air Compressor directly into a 120 volt electrical outlet. Do not use an extension cord when starting your
Air Compressor in cold weather.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Make sure this tool is disconnected from its power source before attempting any maintenance,
cleaning, or inspection.
• Maintain your tools. It is recommended that the general condition of any tool be examined before it is used.
Keep your tools in good repair by adopting a program of conscientious repair and maintenance in accordance
with the recommended procedures found in this manual. If any abnormal vibrations or noise occurs, turn the
tool off immediately and have the problem corrected before further use. Have necessary repairs made by
qualified service personnel.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
• Cleaning. Use only soap and a damp cloth to clean your tools. Many household cleaners are harmful to
plastics and other insulation. Never let liquid get inside a tool.
