Hello,
I just picked up this DeVilbiss compressor. Seems to run very well. I didn't expect it to be so hard to find information on it. Or a manual maybe. If anyone can help along those lines that would be great.

In general, I don't see an adjustment on the air pressure. Any ideas on what pressure it should automatically cut off? I stopped it at 120 on first test. I'm used to the noisy oil less compressors so I'm moving kind of cautiously.

'preciate it!

Air pressure adjustment for kickoff and kickon are in the switch box. Take the cover off and there should be two screws. One for each setting.

a lot of the switches have 1 screw & the differential is preset. the adjustment is going to be in the centre- ish of the switch . either a screw deiver or a nut to adjust it . snap a picture with the cover off
you don't have a regulator to adjust the line pressure

Thanks for the replies. I found some instructional videos that also helped. Just being careful since this feels like a lot more than my trusty Bostitch. I wanted something like this for a couple of reasons. More flow and less complaining about noise from my wife and the dogs when I run my current compressor.
This one does have the single screw and I have a regulator to use on the line side.

Thanks!
