Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to the Voltage and Minimum Branch Circuit Requirements under
Pump/Motor 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.
NOISE CONSIDERATIONS
Consult local officials for information regarding acceptable noise
levels in your area. To reduce excessive noise, use vibration mounts
or silencers, relocate the unit or construct total enclosures or baffle
walls. Contact a D WALT service center or call 1-800-4-D
E
assistance.
ELECTRICAL
Refer to all safety instructions before using unit. Observe extension
cord safety instructions if necessary. Always move the On/Off
switch (A) to the OFF position before removing the plug from the
outlet.
TRANSPORTING
When transporting the compressor in a vehicle, trailer, etc., ensure
that the tank is drained and the unit is secured. Use care when driv-
ing to avoid tipping the unit over in the vehicle. Damage can occur to
the compressor or surrounding items if the compressor is tipped.
MOVING
When moving the compressor, grasp the handle and carry the com-
pressor as close to the body as possible.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Ensure proper footing and
use caution when carrying compressor to avoid a loss of balance.
