APPLICATIONS
Air compressors are utilized in a variety of air system
applications.
Match hoses, connectors, air tools, and accessories to the
capabilities of the air compressor.
You may use this tool for purposes listed below:
Operating air powered tools requiring less than 2.8 SCFM @ 90
PSI or 3.7 SCFM @ 40 PSI.
Powering pneumatic nail guns, infl ating tires, cleaning / blowing
with pressurized air.
WARNING:
Always follow all safety rules
recommended by the manufacturer of
your tool, in addition to all safety rules
for the air compressor.
Following these rules will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms to
the power source requirements specifi ed on the product
nameplate.
NOTE: If compressor is connected to a circuit protected by
fuse, use time delay fuses.
Time delay fuses should be marked “D” in Canada and
“T” in the U.S.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the knob of the pressure switch is in the “OFF”
position (Fig. 2). If the plug is connected to a receptacle
while the knob is in the “ON” position, the compressor will
start operating immediately and can cause serious injury.

3. Extension cord
When the work area is far away from the power source,
use an extension cord of suffi cient thickness and rated
capacity (refer page 7). The extension cord should be kept
as short as practicable.
WARNING: Damaged cord must be replaced or
repaired.
4. Confi rm the power receptacle
If the power receptacle only loosely accepts the plug, the
receptacle must be repaired. Contact the nearest electric
store for repair service.
If such a faulty receptacle is used, may cause overheating,
resulting in a serious hazard.
5. To check the safety valve.
Before starting compressor, pull the ring on the safety
valve to make sure that the safety valve operates smoothly.
(Fig. 3) Do not use compressor if the safety valve is stuck
or does not operate smoothly. Have defective safety valve
replaced by a metabo HPT authorized service center.

WARNING: Drain tank to release air pressure
before pull the ring on the safety
valve.
WARNING: Risk of bursting.
If the safety valve does not work
properly, over-pressurization may
occur, causing air tank rupture or an
explosion.
6. Right running position
Always operate the compressor in a stable and secure
position to prevent accidental movement of the unit.
Never operate the compressor on a roof or other elevated
positon. Never use on a ladder or unstable support. Use an
additional air hose to reach high locations.
Operate the compressor in an open area at least 18 in.
away from any wall or object that could restrict the fl ow of
fresh air to the ventilation openings. Do not place rags or
other objects on or near these openings.
WARNING: A portable compressor can fall from
a table, workbench, or roof causing
damage to the compressor and could
result in serious injury or death to the
operator.
NOTE: When operating or storing the copmressor, set 4 rubber
bumpers downward on the fl oor (Refer to Fig. 1)
7. Temperature
Operating temperatures are between 32°F and 104°F
(0°C and 40°C).
CAUTION: Never operate in temperatures below 32°F
(0°C) or above 104°F (40°C).
8. Air hose
Check the air hose for weak or worn condition before each
use, making certain all connections are secure. Do not use
it if a defect is found. Purchase a new air hose or notify a
metabo HPT authorized service center for examination or
repair.
