Battery Compatibility

For professional use, we recommend compatible 4.0Ah or higher-capacity batteries to provide more useful runtime. Batteries must be undamaged, correctly charged and suitable for the selected platform.

One or Two Battery Operation

The compressor can run with one compatible 18V battery, allowing the second bay to remain empty. Installing two compatible batteries extends the available motor runtime; it does not increase the maximum 8-bar pressure.

Published guidance states approximately 13–15 minutes of total motor operation with one battery and approximately 25–30 minutes with two batteries. This is compressor motor-running time, not necessarily the elapsed time spent working. A stapler, nailer or bradder uses a short burst of stored air for each fixing, so the motor stops and restarts automatically as the receiver pressure changes. Actual working time varies with battery capacity and condition, selected pressure, connected tool and firing rate.

When using two batteries, use compatible batteries from the same platform with matching capacity and a similar state of charge. One adapter is required for each DeWalt or Milwaukee battery fitted to the compressor.

Operating Guide

1. Position the compressor upright on a firm, level and dry surface with the ventilation openings unobstructed.
2. Confirm that the power switch is in the OFF position and the receiver drain valve is closed.
3. Fit one or two charged compatible 18V batteries. Use the correct adapter for each DeWalt or Milwaukee battery.
4. Connect a suitable airline securely to the compressor outlet and the pneumatic tool.
5. Switch the compressor on and allow the receiver to reach pressure. The motor will stop automatically at its preset cut-off pressure.
6. Check the operating-pressure requirement in the pneumatic tool instructions.
7. Use the centre regulator to set the required outlet pressure, reading the outlet-pressure gauge as you adjust it.
8. Test the tool and fixing result on a suitable offcut or inconspicuous area before starting the main work.
9. During use, allow the compressor to restart automatically as the receiver pressure falls.
10. After use, switch off, remove the batteries, release the airline pressure and drain collected moisture from the receiver in accordance with the manual.

Technical Specifications

Routine Maintenance

• Drain moisture from the air receiver after each use in accordance with the manual.
• Check for unusual noise, vibration, loose fixings or air leaks before use.
• Keep the cylinder head, motor, cooling fan, ventilation openings and receiver clean.
• Inspect and clean the air filter regularly; replace a worn or contaminated filter.
• Remove all batteries and release pressure before cleaning, adjustment, transport or maintenance.
