Specification note: Exact operating pressure, CFM output, voltage, phase, amperage, pump configuration, dimensions, weight, and duty-cycle specifications should be verified against the manufacturer's current specification sheet for the exact Mi-T-M model/SKU. CFM should always be matched to the requirements of the pneumatic tool being used.
1.5 HP Electric Motor
The compressor is powered by a 1.5 HP electric motor, providing a convenient alternative to gasoline-powered compressors for locations with suitable electrical service.
Electric operation is particularly useful in enclosed workshop environments where engine exhaust would be inappropriate. It also eliminates the need to store and refuel gasoline.
8-Gallon Air Tank
The 8-gallon receiver tank stores compressed air so the compressor can supply intermittent demand without the motor needing to run continuously.
The tank capacity makes the unit suitable for lighter applications such as:
- Inflating tires
- Inflating sports equipment
- Cleaning with compressed air
- Small pneumatic tools
- Air brushing
- Nailers and staplers, where the compressor's CFM is sufficient
- General workshop maintenance
Tank size alone does not determine tool compatibility. Check the compressor's delivered CFM at the required pressure against the pneumatic tool's air-consumption requirements.
Portable Design
The compact tank size and portable configuration make the compressor easier to position where compressed air is needed. It can be useful in:
- Home garages
- Small workshops
- Maintenance areas
- Service spaces
- Construction finishing work
- Hobby and DIY environments
Its portability allows users to move the compressor rather than permanently dedicating floor space to a large stationary unit.
General-Purpose Applications
Inflation
Use compressed air for inflating compatible tires, sports equipment, recreational equipment, and other inflatable items.
Cleaning
Compressed air can be used for blowing dust and loose debris from suitable equipment and work areas. Always use appropriate protective equipment and safe air pressure.
Pneumatic Tools
The compressor can support selected low- to moderate-demand pneumatic tools, provided the tool's CFM requirement is within the compressor's actual output.
Workshop Maintenance
It can provide a convenient compressed-air source for routine maintenance and general workshop tasks.
Understanding CFM and Tank Capacity
Two important specifications should be considered when selecting an air compressor: air delivery and tank capacity.
- CFM: Indicates how much compressed air the compressor can deliver over time.
- Tank capacity: Indicates how much compressed air can be stored in the receiver.
A larger tank does not necessarily mean that the compressor can continuously operate a high-demand pneumatic tool. For continuous-use tools, the compressor's actual CFM output is particularly important.
Practical Benefits
Electric Convenience
Connect the compressor to a suitable electrical supply without dealing with gasoline or engine exhaust.
Portable Air Supply
The 8-gallon configuration provides stored compressed air in a relatively compact package.
Versatile Workshop Use
Suitable for inflation, cleaning, maintenance, and compatible pneumatic tools.
Space-Conscious Design
The portable format is practical for garages and workshops where floor space is limited.
Lower-Complexity Operation
Electric power eliminates routine gasoline-engine tasks such as fueling and engine exhaust management.
Recommended Operating Procedure
For safe and effective operation:
- Position the compressor on a stable, level surface.
- Inspect the air hose, fittings, electrical cord, and other components.
- Verify that the electrical supply matches the compressor's requirements.
- Connect the appropriate air hose and accessory.
- Start the compressor according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Allow the tank to build pressure as required.
- Set the regulator to the pressure appropriate for the application.
- Operate the connected equipment within its rated pressure and CFM requirements.
- Monitor the compressor during operation.
- Drain accumulated moisture from the receiver as specified by the manufacturer.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps maintain reliable compressed-air performance and prolong equipment life.
Routine maintenance may include:
- Draining moisture from the air tank
- Checking hoses and fittings for leaks
- Inspecting the power cord and electrical connections
- Checking the air filter where applicable
- Inspecting belts or pump components where applicable
- Checking fasteners and fittings
- Following the manufacturer's lubrication requirements
- Performing scheduled service at the recommended intervals
Always disconnect electrical power and fully depressurize the system before performing maintenance that requires access to pressurized components.
Safety Considerations
Compressed air can cause serious injury when used improperly. Follow the Mi-T-M operating manual and applicable workplace-safety requirements.
Important precautions include:
- Wear safety glasses when using compressed air.
- Never direct compressed air toward people or animals.
- Do not use compressed air to clean clothing or skin.
- Use hoses, fittings, and accessories rated for the system's pressure.
- Never exceed the compressor's maximum rated pressure.
- Keep electrical connections dry.
- Inspect the tank and air system regularly for damage or corrosion.
- Depressurize the system before servicing pressurized components.
- Keep children and unauthorized users away from the operating compressor.
- Provide adequate ventilation around the compressor during operation.
