- Slowly turn the regulator knob clockwise to increase the outlet pressure to the recommended PSI for your tool. The regulated pressure gauge will show the output pressure.
- Begin using your air tool. The compressor will cycle on and off as needed to maintain tank pressure.

5.4 Lokun
- Turn the pressure switch to the 'OFF' position.
- Taktu rafmagnssnúruna úr sambandi.
- Bleed any remaining air from the hose and tool.
