Description
This portable contractor air compressor is intended for use in construction and
workshop conditions. An oil lubricated, electric motor driven compressor provides
compressed air to power nailers, staplers, paint guns and other air tools. The
compressed air produced by the unit will contain traces of oil and water. In-line filters
may be required for some applications.
A pressure switch shuts off the compressor when the tank is filled to 125 PSI. When
air is used and the tank pressure drops to 100 PSI, the compressor will restart
automatically. The regulator may be set to provide a line pressure lower than the
tank pressure.
The valve on the compressor outlet fitting vents air for ease in motor startup.
The sound of vented air is especially noticeable when
the tank pressure is low and is not a defect.
The pressure switch also has an unloader valve to vent air when the compressor
stops.
