GLOSSARY  
SCFM or CFM: Standard Cubic Feet per Minute; a unit of measurement of  
air delivery.  
PSIG or PSI: Pounds per square inch gauge.  
CUT-IN PRESSURE: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops as you  
continue to use your accessory or air tool. 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 you turn on your air compressor and it 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.”  
CODE CERTIFICATION: Products that bear one or more of the following  
marks: UL, CUL, ETL, CETL, have been evaluated by OSHA certified  
indepenent safety laboratories and meet the applicable Underwriters  
Laboratories Standards for Safety.  
DUTY CYCLE  
Porter-Cable air compressors should be operated on not more than a 50%  
duty cycle. This means an air compressor that pumps air more than 50% of  
one hour is considered misused, because the air compressor is undersized  
for the required air demand. Maximum compressor pumping time per hour is  
30 minutes.

INSTALLATION  
HOW TO SET UP YOUR UNIT  
Location of the Air Compressor  
Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area. The air  
compressor should be located at least 12" away from the wall or other  
obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air. 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.  
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. In the event of a short  
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of shock by providing an  
escape wire for the electric current. This air compressor must be properly  
grounded.  
The portable air compressor is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire  
with an appropriate grounding plug (see following illustrations). The plug must  
be used with an outlet that has been installed and grounded in accordance with  
all local codes and ordinances.  
1. The cord set and plug with this unit contains a grounding pin. This plug  
MUST be used with a grounded outlet.  
IMPORTANT: The outlet being used must  
be installed and grounded in accordance  
with all local codes and ordinances.  
Plug  
Grounded  
Outlets  
2. Make sure the outlet being used has  
the same configuration as the  
grounded plug. DO NOT USE AN  
ADAPTER. See illustration.  
Grounding Pin  
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.  
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  
electrician. Repairs to the cord set or plug MUST be made by a qualified  
electrician.

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.  
Attach extra air hoses at the air outlet instead of using extension cords.  
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  
12 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as gauge number  
decreases. 10 AWG and 8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT USE 14 OR  
16 AWG.)  
Voltage and Circuit Protection  
Refer to the Specification Chart for the voltage and minimum branch circuit  
requirements.  
Certain air compressors can be operated on a 15 amp circuit if the following  
conditions are met.  
1. Voltage supply through branch circuit is 15 amps.  
2. Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs (lights, appliances,  
etc.).  
3. Extension cords comply with specifications.  
4. 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.

Description of Operation  
Become familiar with these controls before operating the unit.  
On/Auto/Off Switch: Turn this switch ON to provide automatic power to the  
pressure switch and OFF to remove power at the end of each use.  
Pressure Switch: The pressure switch automatically starts the motor when the  
air tank pressure drops below the factory set "cut-in” pressure. It stops the  
motor when the air tank pressure reaches the factory set "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 will protect against high pressure by  
"popping out” at its factory set pressure (slightly higher than the pressure  
switch "cut-out” setting).  
Outlet Pressure Gauge: The outlet pressure gauge indicates the air pressure  
available at the outlet side of the regulator. This pressure is controlled by the  
regulator and is always less than or equal to the tank pressure.  
Tank Pressure Gauge: The tank pressure gauge indicates the reserve air  
pressure in the tank.  
Regulator: Controls the air pressure shown on the outlet pressure gauge. Pull  
the knob out and turn clockwise to increase pressure and counter-clockwise to  
decrease pressure. When the desired pressure is reached push knob in to lock  
in place.  
Drain Valve: The drain valve is located at the  
base of the air tank and is used to drain  
condensation at the end of each use.  
Cooling System (not shown): This compressor  
contains an advanced design cooling system. At  
the heart of this cooling system is an engineered  
fan. It is perfectly normal for this fan to blow air  
Drain  
Valve  
through the vent holes in large amounts. You know that the cooling system is  
working when air is being expelled.

Air Compressor Pump (not shown): Compresses air into the air tank.  
Working air is not available until the compressor has raised the air tank pressure  
above that required at the air outlet.  
Check Valve: When the air compressor is  
Check Valve  
operating, the check valve 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.  
How to Use Your Unit  
How to Stop:  
1. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to "OFF".  
Before First Start-up
