Place this switch (A) in the ON position to

G

A

J

provide automatic power to the pressure

switch and OFF to remove power at the

end of each use.

PRESSURE SWITCH

The pressure switch (J) automatically

starts the motor when the air tank pres-

sure drops below the factory set cut-in

pressure. It stops the motor when the air tank pressure reaches the

factory set cut-out pressure.

PRESSURE RELEASE VALVE

The pressure release valve located on the side of the pressure switch,

is designed to automatically release compressed air from the compres-

sor head and the outlet tube when the air compressor reaches cut-out

pressure or is shut off. The pressure release valve allows the motor to

restart freely. When the motor stops running, air will be heard escaping

from this valve for a few seconds. No air should be heard leaking when

the motor is running or after the unit reaches cut-out pressure.

SAFETY VALVE

If the pressure switch does not shut off the air compressor at its

cut-out pressure setting, the safety valve (G) will protect against

high pressure by popping out at its factory set pressure (slightly

higher than the pressure switch cut-out setting).

CHECK VALVE

When the air compressor is operating, the check

F

valve (F) is open, allowing compressed air to enter

the air tank. When the air compressor reaches cut-

out pressure, the check valve closes, allowing air

pressure to remain inside the air tank.

connect plug on hose.

Lubrication and Oil

CAUTION: The compressor was shipped without oil in the

crankcase. A small amount of oil may be present in the pump

upon receipt of the air compressor. This is due to testing and does

not mean the pump contains oil. Do not attempt to operate this

air compressor without first adding oil to the crankcase. Serious

damage can result from even limited operation unless filled with

oil and broken in correctly. Closely follow Initial Set-up under

Operation.

CAUTION: Multi-viscosity motor oils, like 10W-30, should not be

used in an air compressor. They leave carbon deposits on critical

components, thus reducing performance and compressor life. Use

DeWALT synthetic oil only.

1. Place unit on a level surface.

K

2. Remove dipstick (K) and slowly add

DeWALT synthetic oil (supplied). NOTE: See

Specifications for pump oil capacity.

CAUTION: Risk of unsafe operation. Overfilling

with oil will cause premature compressor failure.

Do not overfill.

contains a grounding pin (P). This plug

MUST be used with a grounded outlet

(Q).

IMPORTANT:

The outlet being used must

be installed and grounded in accordance

with all local codes and ordinances.

2. Ensure the outlet being used has the same configuration as the

grounded plug. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER.

3. Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there

are signs of damage.

4. If these grounding instructions are not completely understood, or

if in doubt as to whether the compressor is properly grounded,

have the installation checked by a qualified electrician.

DANGER: Risk of electrical shock. IMPROPER GROUNDING

CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

• Do not modify the plug provided. If it does not fit the available

outlet, a correct outlet should be installed by a qualified electri-

cian.

• Repairs to the cord set or plug MUST be made by a qualified

electrician.

12

English

Extension Cords

Using extension cords is not recommended. The use of extension

cords will cause voltage to drop resulting in power loss to the motor

and overheating.

Instead of using an extension cord, increase the working reach of

the air hose by attaching another length of hose to its end. Attach

additional lengths of hose as needed.

If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:

• a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and

a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product

• in good condition

• no longer than 50 feet (15,2 m)

• 12 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as gauge num

-

ber decreases. 10 AWG and 8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT

USE 14 OR 16 AWG.)

Voltage and Circuit Protection

Refer to the Voltage and Minimum Branch Circuit Requirements

under Specifications.

CAUTION: Certain air compressors can be operated on a

15 amp circuit if the following conditions are met.

• Voltage supply to circuit must comply with the National Electrical

Code.

• Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs.

• Extension cords comply with specifications.

• Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp circuit breaker or 15 amp

time delay fuse. NOTE: If compressor is connected to a circuit

protected by fuses, use only time delay fuses. Time delay fuses

should be marked “D” in Canada and “T” in the US.

If any of the above conditions cannot be met, or if operation of the

compressor repeatedly causes interruption of the power, it may be

necessary to operate it from a 20 amp circuit. It is not necessary to

change the cord set.

Compatibility

Air tools and accessories that are run off the compressor must be

compatible with petroleum-based products. If you suspect that a

material is not compatible with petroleum products, an air line filter

for removal of moisture and oil vapor in compressed air is required.

NOTE:

Always use an air line filter to remove moisture and oil vapor

when spraying paint.

Location

Place the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area

at least 12"

(30.5 cm) away from the wall or other obstructions that

will interfere with the flow of air. Keep the compressor away from

areas that have dirt and/or volatile fumes in the atmosphere. These

impurities may clog the intake filter and valves, causing inefficient

operation.

The air compressor pump and shroud are designed to allow for

proper cooling. The ventilation openings on the compressor are

necessary to maintain proper operating temperature. Do not place

rags or other containers on or near these openings.

Place the air compressor on a flat surface resting on the rubber

feet.

Checking Safety Valve (Fig. 1)

WARNING: Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. Aftercooler, pump head,

and surrounding parts are very hot, do not touch (see the Hot

Surfaces identified in Fig. 2). Allow compressor to cool prior to

servicing.

WARNING: Risk of bursting. If the safety valve does not work

properly, over-pressurization may occur, causing air tank rupture or

an explosion.

Before starting compressor, pull the ring on the safety valve to

make sure that the safety valve operates freely. If the valve is stuck

or does not operate smoothly, it must be replaced with the same

type of valve.

Checking Air Filter Element (Fig. 1)

WARNING: Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. Aftercooler, pump head, and

surrounding parts are very hot, do not touch (see the Hot Surfaces

identified in Fig. 2). Allow compressor to cool prior to servicing.

1. Ensure the On/Off switch (A) is in the OFF position.

2. Allow unit to cool.

3. Remove air filter (N) from unit.

4. Carefully pry filter top from base.

5. Remove element from filter base.

6. If element needs cleaning, blow out with air. Replace if needed.

Purchase replacement parts from your local dealer or authorized

service center. Always use identical replacement parts.

7. Place element back in filter base.

8. Snap filter top to filter base.

9. Reassemble air filter to unit. Ensure exhaust outlet points down.

CAUTION: Risk of unsafe operation. Do not operate without air

inlet filter

Draining Air Tank (Fig. 1)

WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Risk from noise. Air tanks

contain high pressure air. Keep face and other body parts away from

outlet of drain. Use safety glasses [ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3)]

when draining as debris can be kicked up into face. Use ear protection

[ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)] as air flow noise is loud when draining.

NOTE: All compressed air systems generate condensate that

accumulates in any drain point (e.g. tanks, filter, aftercoolers, dryers).

This condensate contains lubricating oil and/or substances which

may be regulated and must be disposed of in accordance with local,

state, and federal laws and regulations.

1. Ensure On/Off switch is in the OFF position

.

2. Move compressor into an inclined position so drain valve (H) is

at the lowest point (this will assist in removing moisture, dirt, etc.

from air tanks)

3. Place a suitable container under the drain valve to catch

discharge.

4. Grasp knurled knob on drain valve.

5. Slowly rotate knob to gradually bleed air from air tank.

WARNING: Risk of bursting. Drain air tank daily. Water will con-

dense in air tank. If not drained, water will corrode and weaken the

air tank causing a risk of air tank rupture.

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Drain water from air tank may

contain oil and rust, which can cause stains.

6. When air tank pressure gauge reads 10 PSI (68,9 kPa), rotate

valve to the fully open position.

7. Close drain valve when finished.

Compressor Pump Oil (Fig. 1)

CHECKING OIL

WARNING: Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. Aftercooler, pump head,

and surrounding parts are very hot, do not touch (see the Hot

Surfaces identified in Fig. 2). Allow compressor to cool prior to

servicing.

1. Ensure On/Off switch is in the OFF position

.

2. Place unit on a flat level surface.

3. Remove dipstick (K) and wipe clean.

4. Reinsert dipstick fully into oil fill port for a few

L

K

seconds to allow oil to collect on the dipstick.

5. Remove oil dipstick to read oil level. Oil should

not exceed top raised line on dipstick. If oil is

below lower mark, add DeWALT synthetic oil

and follow Steps 4 - 6.

NOTE: When filling the crankcase, the oil

flows very slowly into the pump. If the oil is

added too quickly, it will overflow and appear

to be full.

CAUTION: Risk of unsafe operation. Overfilling with

oil will cause premature compressor failure. Do not

overfill.

6. Replace dipstick.

CHANGING OIL

NOTE:

Pump oil contains substances that are regulated

and must be disposed of in accordance with local,

state and federal laws and regulations.

WARNING: Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. Aftercooler,

pump head, and surrounding parts are very hot, do not touch (see

the Hot Surfaces identified in Fig. 2). Allow compressor to cool prior

to servicing.

1. Ensure On/Off switch is in the OFF position

.

2. Allow the unit to cool.

3. Remove air compressor plug from outlet.

4. Drain air tank.

5. Locate a suitable container under pump drain plug (L).

6. Remove the dipstick (K) from crankcase.

7. Remove the oil drain plug (L).

8. Allow ample time for all oil to drain out. (Tilting the compressor

towards the drain plug will assist in draining.)

9. Install the oil drain plug.

10. Fill pump with D

eWALT synthetic compressor oil.

11. Replace dipstick.

GLOSSARY

CFM: Cubic feet per minute.

SCFM:

Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air delivery.

PSI:

Pounds per square inch; a unit of measure of pressure.

kPa (kilopascal):

Metric pressure measurement. 1 kilopascal equal 1000 pascals.

Code Certification: Products that bear one or more of the following marks: UL, CUL, ETL, CETL, have been evaluated by OSHA certified

independent safety laboratories and meet the applicable Underwriters Laboratories Standards for Safety.

Cut-In Pressure:

While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops when accessory is used. When the tank pressure drops to a certain low

level the motor will restart automatically. The low pressure at which the motor automatically restarts is called cut-in pressure.

Cut-Out Pressure:

When an air compressor is turned on and begins to run, air pressure in the air tank begins to build. It builds to a

certain high pressure before the motor automatically shuts off, protecting your air tank from pressure higher than its capacity. The

high pressure at which the motor shuts off is called cut-out pressure.

Branch Circuit: The circuit carrying electricity from electrical panel to outlet.

Duty Cycle: This air compressor pump is capable of running continuously. However, to prolong the life of your air compressor, it is

recommended that a 50%-75% average duty cycle be maintained; that is, the air compressor pump should not run more than 30-

45 minutes in any given hour.
