However, in order to pro- long the life of your air compressor, it is recommended that a 50% to 75% average duty cycle be maintained. Duty cycle refers to the percentage of time a compressor can safe- ly run within a given amount of time expressed as a ratio. Example: Oil lubricated com- pressors are typically rated at a 50% duty cycle, meaning that the compressor motor can run about 50% of the total time it is being used to supply air to a tool. During the ON time, the motor is running to pressurize the tank. During the OFF time, the motor is stopped and the tools are running off on the pressurized air stored in the tank. If your air tools are draining pressure off of the tank too quickly, the compressor motor must run more than 50% of the time the compressor is in use. This can lead to overheating and will signifi- cantly shorten the life of the compressor.

The powerful com- pressed air stream can damage exposed skin and easily propel loose dirt and other small objects at high-speed, resulting in serious injury. Always wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z28.1 specifications. Use only OSHA approved air blowguns. Never leave a pressurized air compressor unattended. Shut OFF air compressor and relieve pressure before performing maintenance or repairs. Do not move the air compressor while the air tank is pressurized. Never attempt to move the air compressor by pulling on the air hose. R RI IS SK K O OF F F FA AL LL LI IN NG G Portable air compressors can fall from a table, workbench, or roof causing damage to the compressor and could result in serious injury or death to the operator. Always operate air compressor in a stable and secure position to pre- vent accidental movement of the unit. Never operate air compressor on a roof or other elevated position. Use additional air hose to reach high locations. A AI IR R T TO OO OL LS S A AN ND D A AC CC CE ES SS SO OR RI IE ES S Do not exceed the pressure rating of any air tools, spray guns, air accessories, or inflatables.

This can also cause your fuse to blow or circuit breaker to trip. Running your air compressor on an undersized extension cord will cause permanent damage to internal switches and overheating of the electric motor. Use an additional length of air hose rather than an extension cord. If you must use an extension cord, it should be plugged into a G GF FC CI I found in circuit boxes or protected receptacles. Use only UL listed 3-wire extension cords that have a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an exten- sion cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. Refer to the guide on the next page for minimum gauge required for exten- sion cords. 910 DO NOT place air compressor in an area: • Where there is evidence of oil or gas leaks. • Where flammable gas vapors or materials may be present. • Where air temperatures fall below 32ºF or exceed 104ºF. • Where extremely dirty air or water could be drawn into the air compressor.
