IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d) SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS IMPROPER OPERATION OR MAINTENANCE OF THIS PRODUCT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS EQUIPMENT. HAZARD RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT IT IS NORMAL FOR ELECTRICAL CONTACTS WITHIN THE MOTOR AND PRESSURE SWITCH TO SPARK.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d) RISK FROM FLYING OBJECTS WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT THE COMPRESSED AIR STREAM CAN CAUSE SOFT TISSUE DAMAGE TO EXPOSED SKIN AND CAN PROPEL DIRT, CHIPS, LOOSE PARTICLES AND SMALL OBJECTS AT HIGH SPEED, RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY. ALWAYS WEAR ANSI Z87.1 APPROVED SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS WHEN USING THE COMPRESSOR. NEVER POINT ANY NOZZLE OR SPRAYER TOWARD ANY PART OF THE BODY OR AT OTHER PEOPLE OR ANIMALS.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d) RISK FROM MOVING PARTS WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT MOVING PARTS SUCH AS THE PULLEY, FLYWHEEL, AND BELT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY IF THEY COME INTO CONTACT WITH YOU OR YOUR CLOTHING. NEVER OPERATE THE COMPRESSOR WITH GUARDS OR COVERS WHICH ARE DAMAGED OR REMOVED. ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE COMPRESSOR WITH DAMAGED OR MISSING PARTS OR ATTEMPTING TO REPAIR COMPRESSOR WITH PROTECTIVE SHROUDS REMOVED CAN EXPOSE YOU TO MOVING PARTS AND CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
GLOSSARY CFM: Cubic feet per minute. SCFM: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air delivery. PSIG: Pounds per square inch gauge; a unit of measure of pressure. ASME: American Society of Mechanical Engineers; made, tested, inspected, and registered to meet the standards of ASME. Cut-In Pressure: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops as you continue to use your accessory or air tool. When the tank pressure drops to a certain low level the motor will restart automatically.
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION Compressor Pump (A) Fig. 1: To compress air, the piston moves up and down in the cylinder. On the downstroke, air is drawn in through the intake valves. The exhaust valves remain closed. On the upstroke of the piston, air is compressed. The intake valves close and compressed air is forced out through the exhaust valves. Check Valve (B) Fig. 2: When the air compressor is operating, the check valve is “open”, allowing compressed air to enter the air tank.
Outlet Pressure Gauge (F) Fig. 1: The outlet pressure gauge indicates the air pressure available at the outlet side of the regulator. This pressure is controlled by the regulator and is always less than or equal to the tank pressure. See “Operating Procedures”. Tank Pressure Gauge (G) Fig. 3: The tank pressure gauge indicates the reserve air pressure in the tank. Cooling System: This compressor contains an advanced design cooling system. At the heart of this cooling system is an engineered fan.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS The air compressor is equipped with a cord having a grounded 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. See illustration. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER. IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there are signs of damage.
OPERATING PROCEDURES Preparation for Use: 1. Before attaching air hose or accessories, make sure the OFF/AUTO lever is set to “OFF” and the air regulator is closed. 2. Inspect air intake filter (H) Fig. 1. Clean or replace as necessary. 3. Attach hose and accessories. TOO MUCH AIR PRESSURE CAUSES A HAZARDOUS RISK OF BURSTING. CHECK THE MANUFACTURER’S MAXIMUM PRESSURE RATING FOR AIR TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES. THE REGULATOR OUTLET PRESSURE MUST NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE RATING OF THE TOOL BEING USED. 4.
SERVICE AND REPAIRS All quality tools will eventually require servicing or replacement of parts due to wear from normal use. These operations should ONLY be performed by either an AUTHORIZED PORTER-CABLE SERVICE STATION or a PORTERCABLE SERVICE CENTER. All repairs made by these agencies are fully guaranteed against defective material and workmanship. We cannot guarantee repairs made or attempted by anyone other than these agencies.
