ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Grounding instructions: In the event of a malfunction

or breakdown, grounding provides the path of least

resistance for electrical current in order to reduce the risk

of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric

cord that has a grounding wire and a grounding plug (1).

The plug must be plugged into a matching power supply

outlet (2) that is properly installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and ordinances or grounded wall socket for optimum

performance. The grounding plug has two flat blade terminals and grounding pin. If

the grounding plug does not fit into the outlet, do not try to modify it. Have a qualified

electrician to install the proper type of electrical outlet. If the compressor electrical

cord requires repair or replacement, have this done by an authorized, qualified service

technician.

Guidelines for using extension cords.

• Use only 3-wired extension cord that have 3-prong grounding plug that fits into a

3-slot receptacle.

• Never use an electrical adaptor with the grounding plug.

• Ensure the extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a

damaged extension cord immediately or have it repaired by a qualified technician.

• The length of the extension cord should not exceed 50’ (15 m). The minimum wire

size of the extension cord is 12 gauge (AWG).

• Protect the extension cords from sharp objects, excess heat and damp or wet areas.

• Using extension cords with inadequately-sized wires will cause a serious drop in

voltage, resulting in loss of power and tool damage. The smaller the gauge number,

the heavier the extension cord. If in doubt, select the next heavier gauge.

NOTE: Do not use an extension cord unless it is necessary. It is better to

use a longer air hose that reaches the work area where air is needed.

NOTE: Recycle unwanted materials rather than disposing of them as

waste. Sort the tools and their components in specific categories and take

to the local recycling centre or dispose of them in an environmentally-safe

way.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

GENERAL USE

This Maximum

®

Workshop Air Compressor is designed to be compact and portable and

used for air tool applications, inflation and nailing tasks, and heavy DIY automotive

applications. This compressor is equipped with pressure switch, air tank, pump and

motor with automatic reset thermal overload protector. The compressor is factory

lubricated and does not require any oil.

AIR COMPRESSOR COMPONENTS

AIR FILTER

• The air filter is a porous element contained within a metal or plastic housing. The filter is

attached to the compressor cylinder head for removing impurities from the air intake of the

compressor.

AIR TANK

• This air tank is a cylindrical component which is used to store the compressed air.

CHECK VALVE

• This valve prevents backflow of compressed air from air tank to the compressor pump.

MOTOR

• The motor provides rotational force necessary to operate the compressor pump.

PRESSURE REGULATOR KNOB

• The knob can be adjusted to regulate the pressure at the air line outlet of the compressor. Turn

the knob clockwise to increase pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease pressure.

PRESSURE SWITCH

• The switch automatically controls the on/off cycling of the compressor. It stops the

compressor when the air pressure in the air tank reaches the cut-off pressure, and restarts the

compressor automatically when the air pressure drops below the cut-in pressure.

Cut-in pressure: The low pressure (160 PSI) at which the motor will automatically restart.

Cut-off pressure: The high pressure (200 PSI) at which the motor will automatically shut off.

PUMP

• The pump is used to compress the air and discharge the compressed air into the air tank via

the reciprocating piston contained within the cylinder.

REGULATED PRESSURE GAUGE

• The gauge is used to measure the regulated pressure at the air line outlet.

PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE

• This valve will activate automatically if the pressure switch does not shut down the motor in

case of abnormally high pressure in the air tank. To operate manually, pull the relief valve ring

to relieve air pressure in the tank.

TANK PRESSURE GAUGE

• The gauge indicates the pressure level of stored air in the air tank. It is not adjustable by the

operator.

THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTOR

• This protector will automatically turn off the compressor if the temperature of the electric

motor exceeds a predetermined limit. If the thermal overload protector is actuated, the motor

must be allowed to cool down before restarting.

AUTO/OFF SWITCH

• This switch is operated manually to turn ON/OFF the compressor. In the AUTO position of

the lever, the compressor shuts down or starts up automatically based on air pressure level in

the air tank. Always set this lever to OFF position when the compressor is not being used and

before unplugging the compressor. To reset the motor overload condition, toggle the AUTO/

OFF lever to OFF position and unplug the compressor from the power outlet. Allow the motor

to cool for 10 minutes. Then plug in the compressor and restart it.
