iMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT M
ELECTRICAL SHOCK. !N THE EVENT OF A
SHORT CIRCUIT, GROUNDING REDUCES
THE RISK OF SHOCK BY PROVIDING AN
ESCAPE WIRE FOR THE ELECTRIC CUR­
RENT. THIS AIR COMPRESSOR MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED.
1. The air compressor is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug.
The plug must be used with an outlet that has been
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances. The outlet must have the
same configuration as the plug. DO NOT USE AN
ADAPTER.
2. Do not modify the plug that has been provided. If it
does not fit the available outlet, the correct outlet
should be installed by a qualified electrician.
3. Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use
if there are signs of damage.
ik DANGER
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. IF REPAIR­
ING OR REPLACING CORD OR PLUG, THE
GROUNDING WIRE MUST BE KEPT SEPA­
RATE FROM THE CURRENT-CARRYING
WIRES. NEVER CONNECT THE GROUND­
ING WIRE TO A FLAT BLADE PLUG TER­
MINAL.
(THE GROUNDING WIRE HAS
INSULATION WITH AN OUTER SURFACE
THAT IS GREEN -- WITH OR WITHOUT YEL­
LOW STRIPES.)
If these grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the compressor
is properly grounded, have the installation checked by a
qualified electrician.

the OFF/AUTO lever is set to “OFF” and the air
regulator is closed. (Close it by turning it counter­
clockwise.)
2. Attach hose and accessories.
WARNING

TOO MUCH AIR PRESSURE CREATES A
HAZARDOUS RISK OF BURSTING. CARE­
FULLY FOLLOW STEPS 3 AND 5 EACH TIME
THE COMPRESSOR IS USED.

CAUTION
COMPRESSED AIR FROM THE OUTFIT MAY
CONTAIN WATER CONDENSATION. DO
NOT SPRAY UNFILTERED AIR AT AN ITEM
THAT COULD BE DAMAGED. SOME AIR
OPERATED TOOLS OR DEVICES MAY
REQUIRE FILTERED AIR. READ THE
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE AIR TOOL OR
DEVICE.
3. Check the manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating
for air tools and accessories. The regulator outlet
pressure must never exceed the maximum pressure
rating.
