  2. Inspect the unit for any signs of shipping damage. If damage is found, do not operate and contact your retailer.
  3. Verify that all included components are present: 1 x Air Compressor, 1 x Manual, 1 x Accessory Bag.

4.2 Assembly

  1. Attach the wheels and rubber stand feet as instructed in the accessory bag. Ensure they are securely fastened.
  2. Position the compressor on a stable, level surface in a well-ventilated area.

4.3 Electrical Connection

5. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for proper operation of your air compressor.

5.1 Initial Start-Up

  1. With the compressor plugged in and the drain valve closed, turn the ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position.
  2. The compressor will begin to fill the air tank. The tank can reach full pressure (115 PSI) in approximately 27 seconds.
  3. The motor will automatically shut off once the maximum pressure is reached. It will restart automatically when the tank pressure drops below a preset minimum.

5.2 Connecting Air Tools

  1. Ensure the air tool is rated for the compressor's operating pressure.
  2. Connect your air hose to the compressor's air outlet.
  3. Attach your desired air tool to the other end of the air hose.
  4. Adjust the output pressure using the regulator knob (if equipped) to match the requirements of your air tool. The pressure gauge will display the current tank pressure.

5.3 Applications

This air compressor is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

  • Staple guns, brad nail guns, roofing nail guns, framing nail guns

  3. Bleed any remaining air pressure from the tank by opening the drain valve or using an air tool until the pressure gauge reads zero.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your air compressor. This oil-free design simplifies maintenance significantly.

6.1 Daily Maintenance

  • Drain Tank: After each use, or at least daily, open the drain valve at the bottom of the air tank to release any accumulated moisture. This prevents tank corrosion.
  • Clean Exterior: Wipe down the exterior of the compressor with a clean, damp cloth to remove dust and debris.

6.2 Periodic Maintenance

  • Air Filter: Periodically inspect the air filter for dirt or blockage. Clean or replace the filter cotton as needed to ensure proper airflow and prevent fine dust from entering the motor.
  • Check Connections: Regularly check all hoses, fittings, and electrical connections for tightness and signs of wear or damage.
  • Safety Valve Test: Periodically pull the ring on the safety valve to ensure it operates freely and releases air.

Note: As this is an oil-free compressor, there is no need for oil changes or checks.
