to connections while the Air Compressor is pumping and after pressure cut-out. Look for air bubbles. If air
bubbles are present at connections, tighten connections. Do not use the Air Compressor unless all connections
are airtight, the extra air leaking out will cause the Air Compressor to operate too often, increasing wear on the
Air Compressor.
5. Plug Power Cord into a grounded 120VAC electrical outlet. Note: As long as the Power Switch is set to AUTO,
the operation of the Air Compressor is automatic, controlled by an internal pressure switch. The Air
Compressor will turn on automatically when the air pressure drops to 105 PSI and will turn off automatically
when the air pressure reaches 135 PSI.

WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY AND DEATH FROM EXPLOSION:

Do not adjust the internal pressure switch. Any change to the automatic pressure levels may cause excess
pressure to accumulate, causing a hazardous situation.
 6. Make sure the air tool’s throttle or switch is in the OFF position. Connect the air tool to the air hose.
7. Adjust the Regulator Knob so that the air output is enough to properly power the tool, but the output will not
exceed the tool’s maximum air pressure at any time. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the pressure and
counter-clockwise to decrease pressure. Adjust the pressure gradually, while checking the Outlet Pressure
gauge to set the pressure.
8. Use the air tool as needed.
9. When finished, turn the Power Switch OFF.
