How To Use An Air Compressor
Sharing buttons:
today we're gonna talk about how to use
an air compressor this would be a super
quick and basic intro to how to use the
air compressor what the functions are
and how to set them so let's just get a
lot closer and take a look at it okay so
first I guess we just go over very
basics this is a power cord okay it's
probably too basic
power switch off on okay right here is a
little blow-off feed valve so I'll show
you that in a minute and we're gonna
have one one host hook up here and one
host hook up here okay
this we have two gauges on this it's a
pretty very basic standard setup for an
air compressor okay you can have your
main tank pressure which will tell you
which one it is right if your tank
pressure means how much pressure is in
the main tank down here okay and then
this is a regulated pressure which means
how much pressure is going to the hose
now when you have a hose connector here
in here
this one will just give you the full
pressure of the tank there's no
regulation at all no matter what this is
set at this one here will be the
regulated pressure which you're going to
use majority of the time when you're
using nail guns or other different air
tools now to adjust the regular air
pressure first it's best to get the air
tank up to full pressure so plug it in
turn it on let it run until it cycles
and stops turns off okay and then simply
righty-tighty you know you're gonna turn
it the right
they make Lola noises turn the left and
they're going to adjust the gauge here
now sometimes when you turn it up and
down this gauge doesn't show you the
perfect regulator pressure lets you
actually use a little bit okay
no to plug a hose in okay we're going to
take the male end of our air hose and
I'm gonna show you we've got two
different types of connectors here
actually because I've changed this one
here this one here came with very
standard basic connectors so you have to
pull the sleeve back before you insert
the hose so you pull it back insert the
hose there you go and make sure the
sleeve comes all the way forward before
it's locked
sometimes it'll kind of stick in there
but not be locked and you're going to
move it and then it'll pop loose and
shoots out
that's dangerous okay
now to remove it you're gonna pull the
sleeve back it's actually good to push
the hose back in a little bit to relieve
a little bit of pressure just push it on
a little bit pull the sleeve and there
we go that was the air pressure coming
out of the hose now this one here if you
can see all right it's already kind of
pulled back and this one here you don't
have to pull back to go to insert the
hose you stick the hose in push it and
it slides itself into the forward
position again make sure it's all the
way forward and not holding back a
little bit to remove it it's the exact
same as the other one
push it forward a little bit to relieve
the pressure pull the sleeve back and
pull the hose out that is most of the
basics right there to using your tool
some of you might be like well you just
talked about this regulator pressure how
do I know what to set it to well that's
gonna be dependent on each individual
tool you're using so if you have a nail
gun at the end of the nail gun they
almost always say max pressure and then
in the instructions or on the side of
the gun it'll tell you the working range
most guns work somewhere around 75 psi
80 psi most of them have a max of a
hundred 120 okay so you don't want it to
be cranking this up this tank will go to
150 but you want to keep it regulated
down so you don't damage the piston or
the seals and o-rings or anything like
that
oh best self-explanatory there and then
earlier I said I'll give to this now
some reason you need to take pressure
out of this tank for whatever reason and
you don't have the hose nearby you can
just yank this out you know and it lets
pressure out some of them kind of stick
and you have to stick it back in
somewhere spring-loaded and go right
back in on their own this one obviously
goes back in on its own okay now there
is a maintenance tip about getting the
moisture out of this tank but I will do
that in another video and so I'll put
that video now that we're wrapping this
video up so check out how to get the
moisture out of the tank video there and

guys have a great one
