Thanks! I need to air up a tire, my husband isn’t here, and I had no idea how to use the compressor in our garage! This was great.
Glad I could help! Here is our video for tires. th-cam.com/video/sITnVKd8RaQ/w-d-xo.html
Same. Hopefully I can do this!
Me too!! Thanks so much from 2022 🎉 great vid
You got this.
This is the only draw back of letting a man do things for you. Lol. I’ve been there, when they are gone it’s a more vulnerable feeling because you’ve never had to do something yourself lol
Functionally operates just as it should th-cam.com/users/postUgkxiiMg_x4gIWeXMWfBnDdRnME4qJUAva4w holds pressure perfectly when not in use. Glad one of the other reviews pointed out that the bottom pressure release valve was open; thought it was defective at first.
Thanks dad
No problem little dude.
Thank you. Some of us gals need basic instruction on how to operate things.
You're welcome!
Amen to that.
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!!
So glad to help. 😎👍
Thank you from TBI survivors who have to relearn stuff over and over and over.

Great video thanks for the rundown I just bought my first air compressor. It’s a dewalt cordless 60v 2.5 gallon tank. Needs the portability 😊
You are welcome. Those small cordless air compressors look very handy. I have not had the chance to use one myself.
Thank you for this video - I had a feeling the air hose wasn't seated properly and you covered that. Probably saved me a couple of bruises.

Hey, no problem!
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.
So appreciate your video. Thank you for being thorough.

Thank you! These come with really poor instructions, and this was great!
Glad it was helpful!
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!
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.
Just bought my first compressor. This vid help me out MUCH. I don’t like to read, I get headaches. Nice job man, thanks!

Great video but if your talking about water build up in the tank. It's because you are not draining the tank after use for the day.
I needed help to actually fill up a tire. I was told to plug it in, let I fill then use it to fill tire. I’m lost and really needed help with that. It’s is not doing anything at all even after it stopped to fill the tank but there is not pressure to fill tire and I’m stuck. 😢
Here is my video for filling up tires th-cam.com/video/sITnVKd8RaQ/w-d-xo.html
When you let the air out it sounded like the beginning of eye of the tiger, lol

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?
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. Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org
@@AroundTheHome1 Thank you so much for such a quick reply! I believe that this answers my questions :)
What part is the coupler called where you don’t need to move the sleeve back to attach the air hose? That looks much easier!! I want to buy it for my own compressor.
I believe they are called "Push Type". Here is an Amazon Link for that. www.amazon.com/Milton-S-765-V-Style-High-Flow-Coupler/dp/B000BVYSY2?crid=19L0GJ1WJIUSJ&keywords=air+compressor+coupler&qid=1640016401&sprefix=air+compressor+cou%2Caps%2C196&sr=8-19&linkCode=ll1&tag=greatwhitenin-20&linkId=372b9dd55aef71d6a15c6125f743d918&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
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 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
While inserting the tube and especially while disconnecting the tube, can the tank have compressed air or should it be released thru the safety valve?
It can have air, you just have to have a strong hand on the hose.
Very detailed and helpful explanation!

Hearing protection sometimes needed
Yes, that is correct.
When charging will it automatically shut off when tank is full or ready to use?
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.
Hi I have a few questions:
1. (My main question) do I have to use a specific type of material or size of air hose for a certain type of air compressor? Does all that matter
2. How many and what fluids are used in an air compressor to help it run and function properly
3. What are some important safety precautions to take while using an air compressor
By the way please use good details but also simple words as much as you can I'm a teenager trying to learn and plan early on
Bailey, Thanks for the comments. I also saw them on the other videos. I will add that to my list of videos. But to help you out here with the questions, let me see if I can't answer them. #1 I don't know what you mean by material? But most air hoses are 3/8" hoses. Now for most people the ends are 1/4". The screw together side is 3/8" but the standard size that the push together ends are 1/4" Hope that makes sense. You can get larger 3/8" ends, but that is for industrial use. A little air compressor like this one can't keep up with that much air volume. So, if you walk into Lowe's or Home Depot then pretty much everything will be set to 1/4". They probably have one or 2 of their largest air compressors, the ones that are as tall as a person, that have a 3/8" end. #2 most smaller air compressors are oiless. Like the one that I am using here. Now some have oil in them to lubricate that piston. They should come with enough oil for that and you can buy compressor oil from anyplace that sells compressors. That's the only fluid you may need. #3 As far as safety for the air compressor, I guess don't let go of the hose when you disconnect it. If you do it could fly and smack something. There is really not much safety for the compressor, more for the tools that you connect to it. Hopefully this helps you out. 👍 So glad to help! Thank you for watching.

just got one in using a impact wrench to take a tire off a moped can i use either female port on this?
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. Just set the regulator to the proper psi for your tool. 👍 So glad to help! Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org
If I am using to inflate a tire, should I adjust the regulated air pressure to the desired pressure goal on the tire, or up to a level higher? In other words, if I want to.inflate a tire to 35 psi.. should the regulated pressure be set to 35 psi or to 80 or any number that is higher?
You know, that's not a bad question. When using an air compressor for car tires set the regulator higher. If you were to set it at the desired final pressure for the tires then it would take longer for you to reach full pressure and sometimes you may even have trouble getting full balanced pressure in the tire and the air tank. Set it much higher, like 80, or use the unregulated side. Well, if you have a connector on the unregulated side. I think I moved one over on mine, because I think they come pre-installed on the regulated side. Let me step back a little. I am talking about car / truck tires that have a lot of air volume. If you were doing a bicycle tire and want 30 - 35 lbs of air then set the regulator about 40. That way you don't seriously over inflate the tire an blow it. Hope that answers your question. Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org
@@AroundTheHome1 thanks...my car tires require 35 PSI. I topped them off today.. regulated pressure at 60 or so.. it was fast easy.. last week i did the same to my other car.. but set pressure at 100 or so.. i over inflated all the tires in a few seconds.. up to 50 psi.. then had to release a bunch.. i tried it lower today.. MUCH easier to control.. in the cold weather my TPM's are telling me tires are low. Most were just under 30 when I checked before inflating.. so its literally a quick top up..
Sounds great, and with anything practice makes perfect.
Just a few weeks ago a friend had one of those 6gal porta cable compressor I was just checking it out and noticed on the tank it said do not use after 2021do you know the reason why its dated I got cambelhausfeld 13gallon that's 27yrs old and a speedaire 20gallon that's older but still going strong
It's part of a mandated date program to basically guarantee the tank corrosion resistance so that even if the compressor is not taken care of it should be safe to use until then.
do you leave the pressure on when not using, or even nightly?
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 th-cam.com/video/wHhwxTIojag/w-d-xo.html ) After getting used to your compressor you will know how often to drain it. Hope that helps.
