Thank you! I need to blow dust out of two very dusty fans, my husband never got around to showing me how to use our Rigid 6 Gallon portable electric pancake air compressor that is in the garage. But after watching this video it was easy to attach the air hose to the tank and attach the nozzle handle that the air comes out of. I did it without my husband's help. It's a Win-Win!!

Great video and a good and quick explanation of how to use the compressor. the valve with the ring on it is a safety valve, it will open if the compressor does not shut off and puts in too much pressure in the tank. If you want to empty the tank, open the valve at the bottom of the tank.

thanks for the video. It was a great tour of the parts. I still can't find the answer to my question though. I want to use the tank to fill balloons in the back yard, can I fill the tank to say 124psi, and then set the regulated hose to say 10psi, and use it to fill balloons but not have the unit plugged in? Nobody wants to tell me if I can use the air compressor when its not plugged in just to use the tank to blow air through the hose. thanks!

@AroundTheHome1 11 ай бұрын

Good question! Of course you can use it unplugged. It just means the tank will not refill when it gets low. You will just use it until the compressed air runs out, and there is nothing wrong with that when you are not using tools that require a set pressure. And 10 psi or 15 psi sounds perfect for balloons. I said or 15 because it may be hard to get it right on 10, but you know you have the right idea.

When charging will it automatically shut off when tank is full or ready to use?

@AroundTheHome1 11 күн бұрын

Yes, if the compressor is working correctly. There is a working range of every compressor and you can look that up in the specs. For example, a compressor may say max PSI of 120. But you can not expect to get 120 PSI out of the compressor. This is because it may fill to 120 PSI but you will loose that as soon as you start to use it and it will probably drop down to 100 PSI before kicking back on. I have multiple nail guns, and my large framing nailer when using a 3" nail really needs a continuous 110 PSI to drive the nails correctly. So, my older compressor with a max PSI of 120 would not cut it. I needed a compressor with a max PSI of 150 so that I could have a constant regulated pressure of 110 PSI. I hope that explains all of that.

Well, if you got a brand new one then both female ports should be regulated. I moved mine on this so I could have one regulated and one not. So, making that assumption either port is fine.

do you leave the pressure on when not using, or even nightly?

@AroundTheHome1 8 ай бұрын

That's is a good question. First I would tell you to double check what the manufacturer says about your specific model. Now this is what I personally do, you can do what you want. I just turn it off and leave the remaining pressure in the tank. This is just the way that I grew up around shops, both mechanical and wood shops that would do the same thing with their compressors. Depending on how humid it is and how much we used them would determine how often we would open the drain plugs. ( video for that kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ra6YqtuFrtXOkZs.html ) After getting used to your compressor you will know how often to drain it. Hope that helps.

One question- Do you want to "empty" the main tank after each use before you put it away? Any other special "start up" or "wrap up" tips - order of switch, unplug, empty tank, etc? Mine is an old Coleman Powermate but much in common. I had to test switch and valves to figure out but this helped confirm. Thanks for making! I watched a bunch of trial and error repair vids (which were helpful in their own way) before I found this simple intro, which was what what I was looking for! ("Why don't I know how to do anything practical?") Some of those have a lot of views, and their just screwing around, so I bet this kind of intro tour is what many are seeking. I prob don't need most other vids but I'll hit "subscribe" as way of saying thanks again!

You don't have to do it every time. It really depends on how long you use it and how humid it is. Maybe start by doing after 10 times and see if it has any moisture in it. Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org/

@Love Always Catherine first, thank you for your question. Second, please start a new thread for your question because it is very hard to find when on an older comment. But back to your question. As long as you are regularly emptying it like in this video you are fine. And it all depends on how often you use it. If you use it a few times a month, then just empty it every month. Now, if you don't hardly use it but maybe a couple times a year and you are in a very humid climate, then I might suggest empty it every time you use it. Hope this helps.

I feel like I lose power. The only way I can really make the nails flush is with it turned on. 150 is what I have the tank at and it’s craftsman branded tools

Ok, that helps. First unless you are just needing to shoot like 2 or 3 nails, yes keep it plugged in and on while you are using a nail gun. Second, the tank does fill up to 150lbs, but you should have the regulator set lower then that. Each gun should list a max psi on it, normally very close to the air coupler. Those guns probably have a max of 110 psi and running it higher then that will damage the diaphragms. Also you might not even need the max psi. I normally find that using 16 or 18 gauge nailers I normally run the psi around 80 to 90. That all depends on what you are nailing together. These are trim nailers, so installing pine or mdf trim should be easy for that nailer. If you are installing oak or some extra thick trim then you will be maxing out the listed psi for that gun. I am not sure on those guns specifically, but many do have a depth adjustment on them as well. If you are having trouble with the proper depth, then check that as well. Hope that helps.

Can I replace the 1/4 coupler for a 3/8 coupler ?

I really think so, but not 100% sure. I have swapped out the connectors that I have, but not for a 3/8.

I have two plugs on my air compressor. One is the regulated (some how the previous owner used a male end) and the other hook up is non regulated (female end) I used an air sander and hooked it up to the unregulated side. I used the air sander for literally 10 seconds and the air pressure drops 20psi! Should I have used the regulated side and once the pressure drops below the desired psi, the compressor will re generate more air?

Ok, I have one on the regulated and one on the unregulated as you can see from this video. I do like the unregulated for a couple of things, like using the air gun to blow out the filter on my shop vac. But I use the regulated side 90% of the time. Maybe even more like 95%. Like you mentioned you loose so much volume of air when it is coming out unregulated. And if you don't need 120 to 150 psi then you are just wasting your air volume and with only 6 gallon tank you don't really have much. This compressor will start back up when the main pressure hits 120 psi. So this compressor will always have at least 120 psi for nail guns if needed. That's why I like to have the 150 max psi because if I have my framing nailer and I am using ring shank nails I need 115 to 120 psi to properly sink them. Though, I love this little compressor, it does not have the tank size nor a fast enough compressor to really keep up with air tools like an air sander. I don't know what the recommended pressure is for your air sander. Putting it on the regulated side and setting that pressure will help you to run longer before you have to wait for the pressure to build back up. But you really need to have a bigger compressor for tools like that. So glad to help! Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org

If you have the same compressor that I have, or the newer one under the Craftsman name, then it has 6 gallon tank and a recovery of 2.6 cfm at 90 psi. This other compressor is probably the smallest that you want to use for air tools like an air sander and it has a 20 gallon tank and has a recovery of 4 cfm at 90 psi www.amazon.com/Craftsman-Compressor-Oil-Free-Pressure-Lifecycle/dp/B07Y4DQ38B?dchild=1&keywords=air+compressor&qid=1623936953&sr=8-11&linkCode=ll1&tag=greatwhitenin-20&linkId=031d09731221639fc7da8a67d36664e0&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl

thank you for the video! should I always fill the air compressor first before attaching the hose? Should the air compressor always be off/not running after it's been filled before trying to transfer the air pressure to a pressure pot? Is it safe to run the air compressor while it is attached to a pressure pot?

@AroundTheHome1 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the questions. Let me see what I can do here. Ok, it is ok to attach the hose first and it is easier to attach a hose when the compressor is low on pressure. But you can do it after as well. As for the pressure pot.. Honestly I have never used one so I would first say do what the manufacturer says. But if it works the same as a portable air tank, which I would imagine it does, then it doesn't matter if your compressor is on or not when you hook it up to fill it. Hopefully that helps.
