AIR COMPRESSORS  
GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE  
Always note position and orientation of parts as removed to assure correct repositioning when  
reassembling.  
®
Air filter  
Inspect air filter before each use. Clean filter pad with soap and water as necessary. If filter becomes  
clogged or damaged, replace it.  
Never clean air filter with a flammable liquid or solvent. Explosive vapors may  
accumulate in the air tanks and cause an explosion, resulting in serious injury or death.  
CAP2045ST  
CAUTION: Do not operate air compressor without air filter.  
Storage Tanks  
Storage tanks should be drained after each use or after every four hours of operation to prevent  
condensation build-up and corrosion inside tank. To drain tanks, slowly and carefully open drain  
fittings tip unit towards drain and allow water to drain out.  
NOTE: When draining tanks, watch for debris (rust particles). If there appears to be debris in water,  
contact your dealer for possible tank replacement.  
®
®
Failure to regularly drain tank may cause tank corrosion and risk of tank explosion,  
resulting in serious injury. To avoid risk of tank failure during use, drain tank after each use or every  
four hours to prevent condensation build-up and corrosion inside tank.

ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
NOTICE: To aid in removal and to prevent breakage of the  
tee or other fittings:  
This product should be electrically grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding  
reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for electrical current. This product is  
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be  
plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and  
ordinances. This product is shipped for use on a nominal 115 volt, and has a grounding plug that looks  
like the plug in illustration A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in illustration  
B, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in illustration B if a properly  
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a qualified electrician  
can install a properly grounded outlet (Illustration A). The green colored rigid lug, or wire extending  
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box  
cover (Illustrations B & C). Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place by a metal screw.  
When removing the fitting(s) from the tank, it may  
be necessary to apply heat to the area of the threads.  
– USE CAUTION WHEN APPLYING HEAT –  
WHEN SPRAYING LACQUER OR OTHER FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, THERE IS A  
DANGER OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION. SPRAYING AREA MUST BE WELL-VENTILATED AND AWAY  
FROM ANY OPEN FLAME. DO NOT SMOKE. LOCATE COMPRESSOR MAXIMUM DISTANCE  
FROM SPRAYING AREA. TO MINIMIZE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE TO  
RAIN. STORE INDOORS.  
IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF THE GROUNDING PLUG CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF  
ELECTRIC SHOCK. If a repair or replacement cord is necessary, do not connect the grounding wire to  
either flat blade terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are  
not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether this product is properly grounded. Do not modify  
the plug provided; if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.  
SAFETY VALVE – The safety valve is set to avoid over pressurization of the air tanks. It is present at  
140 PSIG and will not function unless tank pressure reaches this pressure. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO  
ADJUST OR ELIMINATE THIS SAFETY DEVICE.  
DO NOT PERFORM WELDING OPERATIONS ON THE AIR TANK OF THIS  
COMPRESSOR. WELDING ON THE AIR COMPRESSOR TANK CAN SEVERELY IMPAIR TANK  
STRENGTH AND CAUSE AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS CONDITION. WELDING ON THE TANK IN  
ANY MANNER WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.  
The motor of this compressor has a thermal overload protector in the motor winding. If the motor should  
overheat, the overload protector will shut off the motor. When the temperature returns to normal, the  
motor will restart automatically.

MEANS  
4. Screw a _" MPT (male pipe thread) quick disconnect air coupler into the air outlet on the regulator.  
Be sure to wrap the threads of the coupler with Teflon tape to prevent leakage.  
D
GROUNDING PIN  
5. Attach an airline to the quick disconnect air coupler and your BOSTITCH air compressor is now  
ready for use.  
NOTICE! Do not stop the compressor by pulling out the plug. Use only the ON/OFF switch, which  
operates a pressure relief valve on the compressor. If the compressor is plugged in with the switch in  
the on position, the compressor may have trouble restarting against the high pressure causing  
excessive heat build up which could damage the motor.  
NOTICE: Use only the recommended extension cord to ensure the proper operation of the air  
compressor. The use of a non-recommended extension cord can result in the loss of voltage supplied  
to the compressor. This situation could prevent the air compressor from starting. For optimum performance  
increase the length of the airline rather than using an extension cord.  
ELECTRIC UNITS  
OPERATION  
1. Inspect compressor for any damaged components. Have any damaged components repaired or  
replaced before operation.  
Less than 25 Ft.  
25 - 50 Ft.  
14 Gauge  
12 Gauge  
Longer than 50 Ft. Not Recommended  
2. Attach airline  
3. Plug the unit into a properly grounded outlet.  
4. Pull the ON/OFF switch up to the on position. The unit will start and the tank will begin to fill.  
5. Adjust the pressure regulator to the proper pressure setting required for the air tool. The pressure  
setting can be viewed by reading the needle position on the regulator gauge. To operate the regulator,  
pull up on the knob to unlock. Turning the knob clockwise reduces the regulated air pressure, while  
turning counter clockwise increases the air pressure. When the proper pressure is reached, lock the  
knob by pushing it down.  
CAUTION Risk Bursting Do not adjust regulator to result in output pressure greater than marked  
maximum pressure of attachment.  
6. The unit is now ready for operation and will cycle itself on and off to keep the tank pressure  
maintained as the air is consumed.  
7. Shut the unit off by pushing the pressure switch knob to the off position. Never shut the unit off by  
unplugging the cord. This will not activate the pump pressure unloader valve, making restarting  
difficult.
