GLOSSARY

Become familiar with these terms
before operating the unit.
CFM: Cubic feet per minute.
SCFM: Standard cubic feet per
minute; a unit of measure of air deliv-
ery.
PSIG: Pounds per square inch
gauge; a unit of measure of 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.
Cut-In Pressure: While the motor is
off, air tank pressure drops as you
continue to use your accessory.

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 an air
compressor is turned on and begins
to run, air pressure in the air tank
begins to build. It builds to a certain
high pressure before the motor auto-
matically 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.
Branch Circuit: Circuit carrying elec-
tricity from electrical panel to outlet.
