GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Air Filter
Porous element contained within a metal or plastic housing
attached to the compressor cylinder head which removes
impurities from the intake air of the compressor.
Air Tank
Spherical component which contains the compressed air.
Amperage Overload Switch (Manual)
Automatically shuts off the compressor if the amperage of
the electric motor exceeds a predetermined limit.
Check Valve
Device that prevents compressed air from flowing back from
the air tank to the compressor pump.
Cut-in Pressure
The low pressure at which the motor will automatically
restart.
Cut-Off Pressure
The high pressure at which the motor will automatically
shut off.
Electric Motor
Device which provides the rotational force necessary to
operate the compressor pump.
NPT (National Pipe Thread)
A seal thread tape must be used to provide a leak-free seal
on pipe threaded connections.

The safe use
of this product requires an understanding of
the information on the product and in this operator’s manual
as well as a knowledge of the project you are attempting.
Before use of this product, familiarize yourself with all
operating features and safety rules.
ACCESSORY STORAGE
The air compressor features a storage space for pneumatic
accessories.
CARRY HANdLE
The air compressor has a carry handle for easy transport.
CORd WRAP
The cord wrap keeps the cord neatly out of the way for
storage.
dRAiN VALVE
The drain valve on the tank is for draining condensation to
help prevent tank corrosion.
Pressure Regulator Knob
Regulates the outgoing pressure from the air outlet to the
tool. It is possible to increase or decrease the pressure at
the outlet by adjusting this control knob.
Pressure Switch
Automatically controls the on/off cycling of the compressor.
It stops the compressor when the cut-off pressure in the tank
is reached and starts the compressor when the air pressure
drops below the cut-in pressure.
PSi (Pounds Per Square inch)
Measurement of the pressure exerted by the force of the
air. The actual psi is measured by a pressure gauge on the
compressor.
Pump
Produces the compressed air with a reciprocating piston
contained within the cylinder.
Regulator Pressure Gauge
Displays the current line pressure. Line pressure is adjusted
by rotating the pressure regulator knob.
Safety Valve
Prevents air pressure in the air tank from rising over a
predetermined limit.
SCFM (Standard Cubic Feet Per Minute) or CFM (Cubic
Feet Per Minute)
A unit of measure of air delivery.
Tank Pressure Gauge
Indicates the pressure in the air tank.
