PREPARATION FOR USE
Pre-Start Checklist (Fig. 1)
1. Ensure the On/Off switch (A) is in the OFF position.
2. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle.
See Voltage and Circuit Protection under Installation.
3. Ensure air tank is drained, see Draining Air Tank under
Maintenance.
4. Ensure the drain valve (H) is closed.
5. Ensure safety valve (G) is functioning properly, see Checking
Safety Valve under Maintenance.
6. Check pump oil level, see Compressor Pump Oil under
Maintenance.
CAUTION: Do not operate without oil or with inadequate oil. DEWALT
is not responsible for compressor failure caused by inadequate oil.
7. Turn regulator knob (D) counterclockwise until fully closed. Ensure
regulated pressure gauge reads 0 PSI (0 kPa).
8. Attach hose and accessories.
_k WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand
when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
9. Ensure all covers and labels are in place, legible (for labels) and
