GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. In
the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire
for the electric current. This product
is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with an appropriate
grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
improper installation
of the grounding
plug is able to result in a risk of electric
shock. when repair or replacement of the
cord or plug is required, do not connect
the grounding wire to either flat blade
terminal. The wire with insulation having
an outer surface that is green with or
without yellow stripes is the grounding
wire.
Do not use adapter
with this product!
Never connect
green (or green and
yellow) wire to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician
or serviceman when the grounding
instructions are not completely
understood, or when in doubt as
to whether the product is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided; if it does not fit the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified technician.

Moisture in compressed air will form into droplets as it comes from an air
compressor pump. When humidity is high or when a compressor is in continuous use
for an extended period of time, this moisture will collect in the tank. When using a
paint spray or sandblast gun, this water will be carried from the tank through the
hose, and out of the gun as droplets mixed with the spray material.
IMPORTANT: This condensation will cause water spots in a paint job, especially
when spraying other than water based paints. If sandblasting, it will cause the sand
to cake and clog the gun, rendering it ineffective. A filter in the air line, located as
near to the gun as possible, will help eliminate this moisture.
This product is for use on a nominal
120V circuit and has a grounding plug
similar to the plug illustrated in Figure

ExTENSION CORDS
overheating, it is better to use
additional air hose instead of extension
cords to reach work area.
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that
has a 3-blade grounding plug, and
a 3-slot receptacle that accepts the
plug on the product. Make sure your
extension cord is not damaged. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the current
your product draws. An undersized
cord results in a drop in line voltage
and loss of power and overheating.
[The table on page 3 shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. When
in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.]
