Safety Information (continued)
ELECTRICAL SAFETY (ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION)
□ This air compressor is powered by a precision built
electric motor. It should be connected to a power
supply that is 240 volts, 60 Hz, AC only.
□ Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A
substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power
and the motor will overheat. If the air compressor
does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
double check the power supply.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY (SPEED AND WIRING)
□ The no-load speed of this product is approximately
2,000 rpm. This speed is not constant and
decreases under a load or with lower voltage.
□ For voltage, the wiring in a shop is as important as
the motor’s horsepower rating. A line intended only
for lights cannot properly carry a power tool motor.
Wire that is heavy enough for a short distance will
be too light for a greater distance. A line that can
support one power tool may not be able to support
two or three products.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY (GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS)
□ This product must be connected to a grounded,
metallic, permanent wiring system, or an
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the
product.
WARNING: Improperly connecting the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical
shock.
CAUTION: Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
CAUTION: Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
CAUTION: Replace damaged cords/wiring immediately.
Damaged cords/wiring increase the risk of electric shock.
