GLOSSARY  
CFM: Cubic feet per minute.  
SCFM: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air delivery.  
PSIG: Pounds per square inch gauge; a unit of measure of pressure.  
ASME: American Society of Mechanical Engineers; made, tested, inspected, and  
registered to meet the standards of ASME.  
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 independent 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 misuse, because the air compressor is undersized for the required air  
demand. Maximum compressor pumping time per hour is 30 minutes.

DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION  
Compressor Pump (A) Fig. 1: To  
compress air, the piston moves up and  
E
J
down in the cylinder. On the  
downstroke, air is drawn in through the  
intake valves. The exhaust valves  
remain closed. On the upstroke of the  
piston, air is compressed. The intake  
valves close and compressed air is  
forced out through the exhaust valves.  
F
A
Check Valve (B) Fig. 2: When the air  
compressor is 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.  
Figure 1  
ON/AUTO - OFF Switch (C) Fig. 3:  
Turn this switch ON to provide power to  
the automatic pressure switch and OFF  
to remove power at the end of each  
use.  
Pressure Switch (D) Fig. 3: The  
pressure switch automatically starts the  
motor when the 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.  
B
Regulator (E) Fig. 1: The air pressure  
coming from the air tank is controlled  
by the regulator. Turn the regulator knob  
clockwise to increase pressure and  
counterclockwise to decrease pressure.  
To avoid minor readjustment after  
making a change in pressure setting,  
always approach the desired pressure  
from a lower pressure. When reducing  
from a higher to a lower setting, first  
reduce to pressure less than that  
desired, then bring it up to the desired  
pressure. Depending on the air require-  
ments of each particular accessory, the  
outlet regulated air pressure may have  
to be adjusted while operating the  
accessory.

Outlet Pressure Gauge (F) Fig. 1: 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. See “Operating  
Procedures”.  
Tank Pressure Gauge (G) Fig. 3: The tank pressure gauge indicates the reserve air  
pressure in the tank.  
Cooling System: 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 through the vent holes in large amounts. You know that the cooling  
system is working when air is being expelled.  
Air Intake Filter (H) Fig. 3: This filter is designed to clean air flowing into the pump.  
This filter must always be clean and free from obstructions. Twist filter cover  
counter-clockwise to remove and expose paper filter element.  
Drain Valve (L) Fig. 2: The drain valve is located at the base of the lower air tank  
and is used to drain condensation at the end of each use.  
Motor Thermal Overload Protector: The electric motor has an automatic thermal  
overload protector. If the motor overheats for any reason, the thermal overload  
protector will shut off the motor. The motor must be allowed to cool before  
restarting.  
Pressure Release Valve (not shown): The pressure release valve located on the  
side of the pressure switch, is designed to automatically release compressed air  
from the compressor head and the outlet tube when the air compressor reaches  
“cut-out” pressure or is shut off. The pressure release valve allows the motor to  
restart freely. When the motor stops running, air will be heard escaping from this  
valve for a few seconds. No air should be heard leaking when the motor is running,  
or continuous leaking after unit reaches cut-out pressure.  
Safety Valve (K) Fig. 3: If the pressure switch does not shut off the air compressor  
at its cutout 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).  
If the safety valve does not work properly, over-pressuri-  
zation may occur, causing air tank rupture or an explosion. Daily pull  
the ring on the safety valve to make sure that the safety valve  
operates freely. If the valve is stuck or does not operate smoothly, it  
must be replaced with the same type of valve.  
INSTALLATION AND BREAK-IN PROCEDURES  
LOCATION OF THE AIR COMPRESSOR  
Your compressor comes to you completely assembled and ready for use. Operate  
the air compressor in a dry, clean, cool and well ventilated area. The air compressor  
pump and case are designed to allow for proper cooling. Clean or blow off dust or  
dirt that collects on the air compressor. A clean air compressor runs cooler and  
provides longer service. The ventilation openings on your air compressor are  
necessary to maintain proper operating temperature. Do not place rags or other  
containers on or near these openings.  
VOLTAGE AND CIRCUIT PROTECTION  
See SPECIFICATIONS Section of this manual.  
8-ENG  
 
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
The air compressor is equipped with a cord having a grounded wire with an  
appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be used with an outlet that has been  
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. The  
outlet must have the same configuration as the plug. See illustration. DO NOT  
USE AN ADAPTER.  
IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN SEVERE  
ELECTRICAL SHOCK.  
Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there are signs of  
damage. Do not modify the plug that has been provided. If it does not fit the  
available outlet, the correct outlet should be installed by a qualified electrician.  
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.  
EXTENSION CORDS  
Use extra air hose instead of an extension cord to avoid voltage drop and power  
loss to the motor. 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 compressor.  
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 AWG or smaller.  
ADDITIONAL REGULATORS AND CONTROLS  
Since the air tank pressure is usually greater than that which is needed, a  
regulator is employed to control the air pressure ahead of any individual air driven  
device.  
Separate air transformers which combine the function of air regulation, moisture  
and dirt removal should be used where applicable.  
LUBRICATION  
The bearings in this unit are sealed bearings which contain sufficient lubricant to  
last their lives. No other lubrication is required.  
BREAK-IN PROCEDURES  
Serious damage may result if the following break-in  
instructions are not closely followed.  
This procedure is required before the air compressor is put into service (before the  
hose is installed), the check valve is replaced, or a complete compressor pump is  
replaced.  
The procedure:  
1. Make sure the pressure switch lever is in the "OFF" position.  
2. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle.  
3. Open the drain valve fully to permit air to escape and prevent air pressure build  
up in the air tank during the break-in period.  
4. Move the pressure switch lever to "ON/AUTO". The compressor will start.  
5. Run the compressor for 15 minutes. Make sure the drain valve is open and  
there is minimal air pressure build-up in tank.  
6. After 15 minutes, close the drain valve.  
7. Move the pressure switch lever to "ON/AUTO". The air receiver will fill to cut-  
out pressure and the motor will stop. The compressor is now ready for use.  
9-ENG  
 
OPERATING PROCEDURES  
Preparation for Use:  
1. Before attaching air hose or accessories, make sure the OFF/AUTO lever is set  
to “OFF” and the air regulator is closed.  
2. Inspect air intake filter (H) Fig. 1. Clean or replace as necessary.  
3. Attach hose and accessories.  
TOO MUCH AIR PRESSURE CAUSES A HAZARDOUS  
RISK OF BURSTING. CHECK THE MANUFACTURER’S MAXIMUM  
PRESSURE RATING FOR AIR TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES. THE  
REGULATOR OUTLET PRESSURE MUST NEVER EXCEED THE  
MAXIMUM PRESSURE RATING OF THE TOOL BEING USED.  
4. Turn the OFF/AUTO lever to “AUTO” and allow tank pressure to build. Motor will  
stop when tank pressure reaches “cut-out” pressure.  
5. Open the regulator by turning it clockwise. Adjust the regulator to the correct  
pressure setting. The compressor is ready for use.  
6. Always operate the air compressor in well ventilated areas, free of gasoline or  
other solvent vapors. Do not operate the compressor near the spray area.  
After Use:  
7. Set the “OFF/AUTO” lever to “OFF”.  
8. Turn the regulator counterclockwise to set the outlet pressure to zero.  
9. Remove the air tool or accessory.  
10.Pull ring on safety valve (K) Fig. 3, allowing air to bleed from the tank until tank  
pressure is approximately 20 psi. Release safety valve ring.  
11.Drain water from air tank. Turn drain valve (J) Fig. 2, counterclockwise, to open.  
WATER WILL CONDENSE IN THE AIR TANK. IF NOT  
DRAINED, WATER WILL CORRODE AND WEAKEN THE AIR TANK  
CAUSING A RISK OF AIR TANK RUPTURE.  
NOTE: If drain valve is plugged, pull ring on safety valve (K) Fig. 3, and hold until all air  
pressure has been released. The valve can then be removed, cleaned, and reinstalled.  
12.After the water has been completely drained, turn drain valve to close. The air  
compressor can now be stored.  
MAINTENANCE  
KEEP TOOL CLEAN  
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. Inspect air intake  
filter and clean or replace as necessary. Clean all plastic parts with a soft damp  
cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or  
otherwise damage the material.  
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WHILE USING COMPRESSED  
AIR.  
FAILURE TO START  
Should your tool fail to start, check to make sure the prongs on the cord plug are  
making good contact in the outlet. Also, check for blown fuses or open circuit  
breakers in the line.  
10-ENG
