this is my first compressor, can someone direct me how to set the PSI or to a video? Mine doesn't seem to adjust by turning the dial.

The compressor needs to be turned on in order for the regulator to work. Turn on the compressor and the needle should move (as long as air isn't escaping from an open valve somewhere), then you can adjust the output pressure with the knob. Did that help?

I never used the compressor. I returned it. I inflate the bags manually when ever I am going to tow something. I just use my garage compressor. I bleed it the same way.

A) Does your unit push air out when not connected to anything? If so, it sounds like a problem with your hose or something else on the unit. If not it has to be after the pump. Either the tire or the connection are at fault. B) Try pushing the metal pin in the valve stem to release pressure. If nothing happens you are either out of air or it's broken. It should flow air with little to no movement. C) If that worked it has to be the connection. Maybe they don't align anymore and can be bent, or maybe you have to buy a better adapter. I'd get something like this(http://amzn.com/B001CJHU9W).

we used 90-100 psi .We don't change the psi becouse we used other tools at same time Works perfect.

This is not that kind of compressor. It doessn't maintain or shut off at specific psi. It is just for airing up tires.

You will need to go slowly to let the compressor catch-up with the gun. If you have a Harbor Freight near you, pick up a digital air regulator that attaches at the air inlet of the gun. When you set the gun preasure to the paint manufactures specification, have the trigger of the gun wide open and adjust while air is running through the gun. I use the digital regulator to make sure my setting is correct. That's more info than you asked for but these were issues when I used the gun. Good luck

Mine is an older model. It has no inflation options. I just press the start button.

I run it off the power oulet and have never had any issues. Could be something wrong with the compressor. May want to exchange it for another one.

Timothy, I borrowed this Nailer from a friend who didn't use a lubricating compressor. I need to open unit up to clean and lubricate. Did you find the manual? If so where from?

you set a mechanical limit switch on the side of the air pressure meter by rotating it manually to the desired pressure shutoff. When the set pressure is reached, the compressor shuts off. Has works well for me. This is a feature that other air inflators don't have. That is why I purchased this one.

I wired mine to a switch so that I can turn it off at night. You wouldn't want an air leak or pressure switch malfunction while you were sleeping. This tank does not have a over pressure relief valve. My pressure switch got stuck on (salt water induced) and my tank filled up to 265psi before I caught it. So in my truck I ran a T off the tank and put a small gauge inside to moniter pressure. use a relay to provide power to the compressor using an ignition accessory signal to control the relay or if you want to use a switch inside, run constant power to the compressor and run the ground side through the switch. This is safer and won't melt the switch. Remember to always fuse the power side. I'm using a 20 amp which works fine. Good luck!

What PSI are you running it at? It should be anywhere between 80 and 90 PSI. Or your tip might be clogged with something.

I am not sure about the air pressure-- you can manually control the spray in two ways: first you have a dial of assorted size holes that you can set and secondly the spray is trigger control ( the more you squeeze the trigger, the harder it sprays). I just have the typical pancake-style air compressor, so you don't need anything real big or of professional grade

Make sure it is hooked up correctly (with little hose inside jar coming from the attachment end, not the gun end) and keep the gun level. If you problem is it continually sucking once full press the little pressure release lever until the gauge registers 0 psi vacuum.

Adjust the air pressure on your compressor. At 100psi, mine was splitting all the tongues.

I am thinking my husband used his compressor. We have only used it once so far.

There's a dial on the stem of it. Just turn that till you get the pressure you need.
